Lexical Cohesion

Lexical cohesion refers to the way words and phrases in a text are related to each other, creating a sense of continuity and coherence. It involves the use of repetition, synonyms, antonyms, collocations, and other lexical devices to link sentences and ideas. In language teaching, developing students' awareness of lexical cohesion helps improve their reading comprehension and writing skills. Teachers can focus on cohesive devices in texts, analyze their use, and practice creating cohesive texts with students.
