What is "cohesion"?
Cohesion refers to the grammatical and lexical connections that link sentences and ideas within a text, making it easier for readers to follow along. It involves the use of various devices, such as pronouns, conjunctions, and transitional words, to tie different parts of the text together. For example, in a cohesive paragraph, pronouns like "it" or "they" might refer back to previously mentioned nouns, while words like "however" or "for instance" help to clarify relationships between ideas. Cohesion is essential for creating a unified and understandable piece of writing or speech.
