Cohesion and coherence:

Coherence: The ways a text makes sense to readers and writer through
the relevance and accessibility of its configuration of concepts, ideas
and theories. When the elements of a text all fit together and there is no
confusion in meaning, then it is Coherent . A semantic property of discourse
formed through the interpretation of each individual sentence relative
to the interpretation of other sentences, with "interpretation" implying
interaction between the text, the reader and the writer. a property
that a reader will discern in the text allows the reader to make sense of
the text refers to the semantic unity created between the ideas,
sentences, paragraphs and sections of a piece of writing.

Cohesion:

The grammatical and lexical relationship between different elements of

a text which hold it together. Cohesion is when the link between
sentences, words and phrases are visible, or easily understandable.
cohesion means flow i.e. how will your ideas follow from one para to
the next with seamless and logical transition. As you develop your
paragraph, your ideas must be related to each other and they should be
logically linked with referencing and linking words. -Links between
words. Syntax, lexis and phonology may all be used to create cohesion
within and between sentences. Another term meaning the same thing
is cohesive ties .In written text, cohesive devices are used to create
cohesion. This helps the text stick together, linking previous ideas with
subsequent ones so that they can flow naturally. Examples of such
cohesive devices are the use of linking words (e.g. because, but,
however, nevertheless, moreover, etc…).

Example 3:
James likes yellow apples. He eats them every day.

In example 3, the interpretation of “he” depends on another element in

the text (i.e. “James”). Similarly, the interpretation of “them” depends
on “yellow apples”. In this case, cohesion is achieved by the use of
personal pronouns “he” and “them”.

The important difference between coherence and cohesion is that

coherence relies on semantics of a given text as well as cultural
knowledge and the overall context in which discourse is unfolding.
There is no explicit manifestation of textual coherence in a text itself.
Coherence is rather deduced from a text.

Cohesion, in turn, starts with concrete textual elements which are then
built upon to produce the effect of cohesion. Cohesion is often
manifested through the use of such “devices” as pronouns (e.g. I, he,
she, it) and deictic words (e.g. here, there, then).

Poem

This short, love, lyric poem “He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven”
composed by the well known Irish poet W. B. Yeats has expressed his
personal feeling for his beloved Maud Gonne. The poet himself is
identified as the main character in the poem. Here he says that if he
had some fine cloths of gold and silver embellished with fine colors, he
would spread them on the ground where his beloved would walk. But
because of his poverty, he could not afford such heavenly comfort to
her. Therefore he requests her to accept only his dreams that he has to
offer her. He further warns her to step in his dreams softly because his
dreams are softer and fragile (delicate) than heavenly clothes.

in stylistics, foregrounding is a the linguistic strategy of calling attention

to certain language features in order to shift the reader's attention
from what is said to how it is said. Foregrounding is when you
manipulate words or sentences to be put in such a way that may seem
to be grammatically incorrect but it attracts attention. In this method
the poet set's your imagination free and allow you to think beyond
reality .

The favored techniques for creating foregrounding are patterns, such as

repetitions; ambiguity, in which meaning is clear but conclusions may
be variable; metaphor; tone; parallelism; and diction.
