, 1. In a well-structured answer, identify any three cohesive devices and explain
how they contribute to achieving cohesion of the text. In your response, briefly
define each cohesive device you intend to discuss and describe how it functions
in the text. (20 marks)
A crucial cohesive device employed in the text is referencing. This involves using
pronouns, demonstratives, or other words to refer back to previously mentioned entities
in the text. For instance, the text states, "Especially in today's society, bilingualism or
even multilingualism is very common due to close proximity to other countries with
different languages and an increased desire to acquire such skills." In this context, the
word "such" functions as a reference, tying back to the earlier mention of "different
languages." This referencing technique helps maintain textual cohesion by preventing
redundancy and ensuring a smooth flow of ideas.
Conjunction cohesive device
Another cohesive device contributing to the text's coherence is the use of conjunctions.
Conjunctions are words that connect sentences or clauses, either coordinating (e.g.,
and, but) or subordinating (e.g., although, because). An example from the text illustrates
this: "Global Awareness: People who know other languages often familiarize themselves
with those cultures as well. They appreciate cultural differences and are more open to
new approaches and traditions." The term "as well" acts as a coordinating conjunction,
establishing a logical link between the appreciation of cultural differences and the
openness to new approaches. This conjunction cohesive device aids in creating a
seamless flow between related ideas within the text.
