  • More about New Research on Cohesion and Coherence in Linguistics


The study of text cohesion and coherence has been a topic of debate in Linguistics since the 1990s, with Western linguists developing two major theoretical frameworks. This title proposes a creative, concrete, and operational theoretical model that unites cohesion and coherence using authentic English or Chinese examples and can be applied to other disciplines. It has been one of the most cited works on cohesion and coherence in China.

The study of text cohesion and coherence has been a central focus in Linguistics since the 1990s, with Western linguists developing two major theoretical frameworks to understand the relationship between these concepts. The first framework posits that cohesive devices are essential for ensuring cohesion, while the second argues that coherence does not necessarily rely on cohesion. However, neither framework has been able to fully explain the complexities of text cohesion and coherence in real-life situations, nor can they provide practical solutions to real-world problems.

In response to this challenge, this title presents a novel, practical, and highly operational theoretical model that unites cohesion and coherence using authentic English or Chinese examples. The authors clarify the concepts of coherence and expand the scope of research by considering a range of internal and external factors, including psycho-cognitive and socio-cultural factors. Moreover, the authors propose that the new theoretical paradigm can be applied to various other disciplines, such as translation and foreign language teaching.

This title has been highly cited in China and is considered an invaluable reference for students and scholars of discourse analysis, linguistics, and language education. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date understanding of the relationship between cohesion and coherence, and its practical applications in different fields.
