Write paragraph with adequate and inadequate cohesion
To
write a paragraph adequate and inadequate cohesion should know the repetition
of keywords in sentences and words for reference . this is to provide links and
assist in connecting one part of the sentence , which is important in achieving
cohesion in the text . Cohesion is difficult to define but one can visualize
the small sentences add up to make a meaningful text as with a lot of different
parts fit together to make a jigsaw puzzle . For the author , it is better to
start with a text that the reader is already familiar with to create a cohesive
piece . It can also be done with a few last words in a sentence to prepare the
next few words at the beginning of the next sentence. In short , the link
attached to different sentences and make meaningful text can be considered as
cohesion in the text . Building relationships between sentences , sections ,
paragraphs and even using synonyms , verb tenses , etc. The reference time is
what brought cohesion in the text . Cohesion can be regarded as a glue stick to
different parts of the furniture that takes the form of the author wants to give.
2. Cohesion
Cohesion
features as an element of text structure in writing as product, and also as a
component underlying semantic or discourse-related processes in cognitive,
functional, as well as socio-cultural models and frameworks of writing.
Cohesion forms part of current conceptualisations of communicative language
competences. Cohesion in English is a ground-breaking undertaking in which
Halliday and Hasan set out to define, classify, and describe cohesive relations,
and demonstrate in analysis how they contribute to the texture in sample texts.
Further, cohesion is part of the system of language, and is expressed through
its stratal organisation. The vantage point of the native speaker: “As always
in linguistic description, we shall be discussing things that the native speaker
of the language ‘knows’ already – but without knowing that he knows them”. Cohesion
is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a
text together and gives it meaning. It is related to the broader concept of
coherence. Cohesion is the structural, syntactical, and lexical
means by which we relate together a series of statements in a document, making
the information "stick together."
There
are two main types of cohesion: grammatical cohesion which is based on
structural content, in structural content, there are standard
paragraph structures, clause and phrase level parallelism
(and the deliberate use on nonparallelism), theme/rheme
relations between sentences and lexical cohesion which is
based on lexical content and background knowledge. Semantic/syntactic cohesion: reference: anaphoric, cataphoric, exophoric; pronouns, demonstratives/determinatives, comparatives, substitution, ellipsis, reiteration/collocation, conjunction.
Cohesion
|
Coherence
|
A property decided by the reader
whereas cohesion is a property of the text achieved by the writer making use
of different tools like synonyms, verb tenses, time references etc.
|
Cohesion can be measured and verified
through rules of grammar and semantics though measuring coherence is rather
difficult.
|
Said to be cohesion if different
sentences in a text are linked properly.
|
Said to be coherence if a text appears
to make sense to a reader.
|
Can appear as incoherent to the reader
making it clear that the two properties of a text are not the same. Cohesion
refers to connectivity in a text.
|
Coherence refers to how easy it is to
understand the writing.
|
Cohesion is a tool to attain coherence
and is the meaningful connection between sentences. Cohesion refers to
apparent components in the discourse. It occurs when the interpretation of an
element in the discourse is dependent from another element inside the
discourse.
|
Coherence is seen as the relatedness
of a story on macro level. That means, utterances are related on a clear,
meaningful manner to each other. For coherence, there are no specific
components in discourse, because coherence is established by implicit
relations of meaning.
