- Tell more about cohesion
Cohesion and coherence are the main requirements discourse or textual , cohesion Both are concepts . Cohesion is the sense of coherence is the integration of shape while cohesiveness Meaning . Cohesion cohesion implied understanding , and integrity . While the coherence is related to the linkage and relationship . If we associate with aspects of form and meaning refers to the formal aspects of language cohesion and coherence refers to aspects of speech .
Formal aspects of the language that is closely related to the cohesion describe how propositions are related to each other how propositions are inferred implied to interpret the elocutionary acts as a reference coherence .
Cohesion is now understood to be a textual quality, attained through the use of grammatical and lexical elements that enable readers to perceive semantic relationships within and between sentences. Coherence refers to the overall consistency of a discourse--its purpose, voice, content, style, form, and so on--and is in part determined by readers' perceptions of texts, dependent not only on linguistic and contextual information in the texts but also on readers' abilities to draw upon other kinds of knowledge, such as cultural and inter textual knowledge."
(Irwin Wiser, "Linguistics." Encyclopedia of Rhetoric and Composition, ed. by Theresa Enos. Taylor & Francis, 1996)
"Cohesion is achieved when writers connect their organized parts with sufficiently clear and numerous signals--like the words 'finally,' 'thus,' 'however,'--to make the development of their cases intelligible and to lead the reader safely along the emerging lines of their arguments.
- The difference between Cohesion and Coherence
• If different sentences in a text are linked properly, it is said to be cohesive.
• If a text appears to make sense to a reader, it is said to be coherent.
• A cohesive text can appear as incoherent to the reader making it clear that the two properties of a text are not the same.
• Coherence is 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.
