SECTION A
QUESTION 1: COHESION
BASIC FACTS ABOUT COHESION

Cohesion refers to the parts of the language system which tie sentences and clauses
together. Basically, cohesion refers to the relationship and connections which exist
between ideas in a paragraph, essay or novel. Cohesion also describes the patterns
of language created within a text, mainly within and across sentence boundaries. More
importantly, cohesion mark up the organisation of larger units of the text such as
paragraphs. More importantly, cohesion is the glue that brings sentences together.

Types of cohesion

There are two major classes or categories of text cohesion in English. These are:

 Grammatical cohesion and
 Lexical cohesion

GRAMMATICAL COHESION

It consists of four subcategories namely:

 Reference cohesion
 Substitution cohesion
 Ellipsis cohesion
 Conjunctive cohesion

Grammatical cohesion refers to the use of grammatical elements to tie a text together.

Reference cohesion

The principle of reference within text tells the reader that they can only make complete
sense of a word or structure they are looking at it if they look elsewhere in the text to
get a fuller picture.

Personal pronoun reference

Personal pronouns are words that can substitute nouns. These are as follows:



2|Page

, I; you (singular); she; it; one; we; you (plural); they

Other forms of pronouns: me; him; her; us; them

When one of these pronouns occurs in a text, readers expect to have to link it with
something – either an item that has already been mentioned or something that is
coming up.

ANAPHORIC REFERENCE- a pronoun referring back something

CATAPHORIC REFERENCE – the pronoun referring to something coming later

EXAMPLES

 Tom said that he was going home (anaphoric reference)
 I couldn’t believe it – the house was a complete wreck (cataphoric
reference.)

EXOPHORIC reference: This is a reference item which moves the reader outside a
text so that he\she can make full sense of the text by referring to its context.

For example, the use of ‘you’ on a text as a direct address to the reader tells the reader
to use himself as the reference point.

The use of ‘l’ in a text tells the reader that the writer or the narrator is being self-
referential.

N.B. The pronouns ‘you’ and ‘l’ function as signposts leading out of the text and they
make the reader to focus on the human agents who are producing and receiving the
text.

ENDOPHORIC REFERENCE – This is a reference item which allows the reader to
stay within a text, so the reader do not need any supporting details from outside

DEMONSTRATIVE REFERENCE (DEICTICS)

It is carried by the following terms: the; this; that; these; those; here; and there.

These terms demonstrate where something is - they are verbal pointers.

Demonstrative pronouns can work backwards (anaphoric) or forwards (cataphoric)

For example:
