What are Cohesive Devices?
Cohesive devices, sometimes called linking words,

Cohesive Devices are words or phrases that show the
*'clationship between paragraphs or sections of a text or speech.
‘In
Cohesive devices are words like ‘For example*,
30Ы Conclusion*, ‘however* and ‘moreover*.

Let’s look at these two examples below: For emphasizing, you can use cohesive devices such as:
1 .Netflix has many movies and shows and it is only $9.
Infact Certainly
2.The Christmas tree is natural but it is expensive.
As we can see in the sentences above, and it is used to add Absolutely :| Obviously
something to the previous statement,
In the second sentence, we can see how something positive and Withoutanydoubt I Definitely
negative is said about the Christmas. We know that because the
word but is used to contrast ideas.
Coherence
What are some examples of Cohesive Devices? Questions for discussion:
There are many examples of cohesive devices, they can be l.The definition of coherence
grouped by category. 2.Deferentiation of coherence from cohesion
3.The position of coherence in discourse analysis
If you want to show similarity, you can use cohesive devices
Coherence as a grammatical term contrasts with cohesion, both
such as:
being necessary components of effectively organised and
And jl Equally meaningful discourse.
Coherence is the term used to describe the way a text establishes
Also Identically links in meaning within and between sentences. Essentially
coherence is concerned with the content of a text, the meaning it is
Too Equally attempting to convey. When texts are not coherent, they do not make
sense or they make it difficult for the reader to follow and
Similarly understand.

Coherence often relies heavily on reader knowledge and


If you want to introduce an item in a series, you can use: sometimes the coherence is weak because too much knowledge is

w ic re les on the reader knowing the lager adverts which make use

vjordprobably would be most odd!

If you need to compare, you can use cohesive devices such as: Similarly, the following dialogue relies upon the reader making
e appropriate inference or connections between the two sentences.

Ann:I was up all night with the baby.
Nevertheless Bycomparison
Both speakers leave out information which they expect the other
