Rule reminder
Cohesion and coherence are related but distinct concepts. COHESION refers to the linguistic devices that link sentences: pronouns, connectives, synonyms, ellipsis. COHERENCE refers to the logical and conceptual unity of a text — whether ideas connect meaningfully. A text can be cohesive but incoherent, or coherent but lacking explicit cohesive markers.
What is the term for the reader's ability to make sense of an apparently disconnected text using world knowledge?
