About This Resource
This C1 resource develops cohesion through accurate reference chains, lexical ties, substitution, ellipsis, repetition, and linking expressions. It focuses on reader tracking across complex discourse so that pronouns, demonstratives, repeated terms, and other cohesive choices connect ideas without creating uncertain antecedents.
What You’ll Learn
• Track reference chains across several sentences or clauses.
• Use pronouns, demonstratives, lexical repetition, substitution, and ellipsis to maintain cohesion.
• Distinguish cohesion from the broader concept of coherence.
• Revise passages when cohesive devices make readers work too hard to identify the intended referent or relationship.
