PS Cohesion in English (self-study)

This class will investigate linguistic resources used in Present Day English to construct texts. We will look at reference as a means of connecting sentences, for instance with the help of pronouns. Other ties we will treat include substitution, ellipsis, and conjunction, as well as lexical cohesion. This class will use Halliday and Hasan’s classic Cohesion in English (1976) and some more recent texts for multimodal cohesion.
