Cohesion is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a text together and gives it meaning. It is related to the broader concept of coherence. There are two main types of cohesion: grammatical cohesion which is based on structural content, and lexical cohesion which is based on lexical content and background knowledge. A cohesive text is created in many different ways. coherence- when the parts of something fit together in a natural or sensible way There was no coherence between the first and the second half of the film. cohesion- when the members of a group or society are united social/national cohesion
