Cohesion in English is concerned with a relatively neglected part of the linguistic system: its resources for text construction, the range of meanings that are speciffically associated with relating what is being spoken or written to its semantic environment. A principal component of these resources is 'cohesion'. This book studies the cohesion that arises from semantic relations between sentences. Reference from one to the other, repetition of word meanings, the conjunctive force of but, so, then and the like are considered. Further, it describes a method for analysing and coding sentences, which is applied to specimen texts.
Lexical Cohesion and Corpus Linguistics (Benjamins Current Topics)
Lexical cohesion is about meaning in text. It concerns the way in which lexical items relate to each other and to other cohesive devices so that textual continuity is created. The seminal work on lexical cohesion is Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) Cohesion in English, where it is nevertheless given the shortest treatment of the five types of cohesion identified by the authors.
This book set out to examine communication between writers and readers,and speakers and listeners, from the perspective of the relations of meaning with which speakers and writers can mark the unity within and between their messages.We found that speakers and writers make use of cohesion in different manners in different texts, which suggests that cohesive strategies are sensitive to communicative conditions.
Does multiculturalism ‘work’? Does multiculturalism policy create social cohesion, or undermine it? Multiculturalism was introduced in Canada in the 1970s and widely adopted internationally, but more recently has been hotly debated, amid new concerns about social, cultural, and political impacts of immigration. Advocates praise multiculturalism for its emphasis on special recognition for cultural minorities as facilitating their social integration, while opponents charge that multiculturalism threatens social cohesion by encouraging social isolation.
