Students and scholars of discourse analysis, linguistics, and language education will find this an invaluable reference. This title has been one of the most cited works on cohesion and coherence in China. Moreover, the authors propose that the new theoretical paradigm can be applied to a range of other disciplines, including translation and foreign language teaching. 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. This title proposes a creative, concrete, and highly operational theoretical model that unites cohesion and coherence using authentic English or Chinese examples. Yet neither has complete explanatory power over reality nor can they solve real-life problems. Cohesion can be measured and verified through rules of grammar and semantics though measuring coherence is rather difficult. 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. Coherence is a property decided by the reader whereas cohesion is a property of the text achieved by the writer making use of different tools like synonyms, verb tenses, time references etc. The study of text cohesion and coherence has been a topic of heated discussion in Linguistics since the 1990s.
