cohesion and coherence?

By 沙漠俚语 2021-09-19 3252次浏览 课时53

What is the exact definitive difference between cohesion and coherence? 

教师的答案

  • 唐瑞梁 老师 2021-10-02

    Cohesion refers to the many ways (grammatical, lexical, semantic, metrical, alliterative) in which the elements of a text are linked together. Cohesion differs from coherence in that a text can be internally cohesive but be incoherent – that is, make no sense.  By contrast, texts can be coherent when not cohesive. In short, cohesion is objectively identifiable; coherence is far more subjective, depending on the reader/listener's interpretation.

      Thank you very much, Professor. Tang, for your patience and your time. Your words explains a lot and I'd better get back to the course and have a review. It is an amazing course. Thanks again!
