The study of text cohesion and coherence has been a topic of heated
discussion in Linguistics since the 1990s. Western linguists have
developed two major theoretical frameworks to describe the
relationship between the two concepts: one posits that cohesive
devices are important means to ensure cohesion; the other argues
that coherence does not rely on cohesion. Yet neither has complete
explanatory power over reality; nor can they solve real-life
problems. This title proposes a creative, concrete, and highly
operational theoretical model that unites cohesion and coherence
using authentic English or Chinese examples. The authors clarify
the concepts of coherence and expand the scope of the research by
focusing on a variety of internal and external factors, such as
psycho-cognitive and socio-cultural factors. Moreover, the authors
propose that the new theoretical paradigm can be applied to a range
of other disciplines, including translation and foreign language
teaching. This title has been one of the most cited works on
cohesion and coherence in China. Students and scholars of discourse
analysis, linguistics, and language education will find this an
invaluable reference.
