Textual Cohesion Analysis

Textual Cohesion Analysis is a methodological framework in discourse linguistics that systematically identifies and evaluates linguistic devices—such as reference, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion—linking textual elements to assess the surface-level connectedness of a discourse, distinguishing it from coherence analysis by focusing on explicit structural relations rather than conceptual or pragmatic unity.
