COHESION IN WRITTING PARAGRAPH



Ridho Mela Prasesti (12340024)
Description about how to write paragraph with adequate an inadequate
Make a good paragraph which Cohesion, means that it has a complete components and related each other. When we would like to write a good paragraph we have to include at least three components of paragraph itself, there are topic sentence, supporting sentence, and closing or concluding sentence.
            Paragraph can be derives into adequate and inadequate unity. To make an adequate unity, you have to make sure that the topic sentence as a main idea is holding up all of paragraphs with a constructical and structural sentence. Topic sentences will be support by some related sentence to make the idea clear.
            Otherwise, inadequate unity is when the idea is not hold all of paragraphs and the supporting sentences are unrelated to topic sentence. Furthermore, the most important thing is pay attention for the details of ideas and relationship between each paragraphs for developing the paragraph.
Definition of Cohesion
"Cohesion is achieved when writers connect their organized parts with sufficiently clear and numerous signals--like the words 'finally,' 'thus,' 'however,'--to make the development of their cases intelligible and to lead the reader safely along the emerging lines of their arguments. . . .
Types of Cohesion
"In linguistics, cohesion is the use of language forms to indicate semantic relations between elements in a discourse. Grammatical cohesion concerns such matters as reference, ellipsis, substitution, and conjunction; lexical cohesion concerns such features as synonymy, antonymy, metonymy, collocation, repetition, etc.; instantial cohesion concerns ties that are valid only for a particular text. Together, cohesion and register contribute to textuality, the sense that something is a text and not a random collection of sentences."
The difference about Cohesion and Coherence
cohesion
and coherence were often used interchangeably, both referring either to a kind of vague sense of wholeness or to a more specific set of relationships definable grammatically and lexically. The work of Halliday and Hasan (1976) influenced scholars and researchers in rhetoric and composition so that, by the early 1980s, the two terms were distinguished. Cohesion is now understood to be a textual quality, attained through the use of grammatical and lexical elements that enable readers to perceive semantic relationships within and between sentences. Coherence refers to the overall consistency of a discourse--its purpose, voice, content, style, form, and so on--and is in part determined by readers' perceptions of texts, dependent not only on linguistic and contextual information in the texts but also on readers' abilities to draw upon other kinds of knowledge, such as cultural and intertextual knowledge."
