Textual Cohesion — Coesione Testuale·Pronoun, Synonymy, or Repetition?
💡

Rule reminder

Italian writers choose between three main strategies to avoid repetition while maintaining clarity: (1) pronouns (lui, essa, essi, lo, ecc.) — efficient but can be ambiguous; (2) synonymy (a different word with similar meaning); (3) strategic repetition — used for emphasis, clarity, or when ambiguity is a risk. Context determines which strategy is best.
