though readers may pick up this and others that they have already read.
These standards underlie basic criteria of textuality, efficiency,
effectiveness and appropriateness.
The difference between cohesion and coherence is this.
Cohesion is a term for sticking together.
It means that the text all hangs together.
Coherence is a term for making sense.
It means that there is sense in the text.
Hence, the term coherence relations refers to the relations
between sentences that contribute to their making sense.
Cohesion and coherence relations may be distinguished in the following way.
A coherence relation is a relation among clauses or sentences,
such as elaboration, support, cause or exemplification.
There have been various attempts to classify all possible coherence relations,
but there is, as yet, no widespread agreement.
There does not exist a general feasible mechanism for
identifying coherence relations.
In contrast, cohesion relations are relations among elements in a text,
reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction and lexical cohesion.
