Cohesion refers to the linguistic elements that link
sentences together, while coherence relates to the
underlying logical connection of ideas. Analyze the
following excerpt: "John arrived late. This annoyed his
boss. He had missed the meeting." and identify the
specific cohesive devices employed.
I. "This" is an example of reference, specifically referring back to the entire preceding clause ("John arrived late").
II. "He" is an example of anaphora, referring back to the antecedent "John".
III. The connection between the sentences relies on lexical repetition rather than pronominal reference.
It is correct what is stated
