1 2_lexical cohesion

2 Task 1 Can you pick up any textual threads in text 5.1 (WWT)? In doing so you intuitively rested on lexical and grammatical cohesion

3 Main forms of lexical cohesion
repetition synonyms, near synonyms antonyms superordination: where one word (hyperonym) encompasses other meanings (hyponyms) Co-hyponyms: words that are hyponyms of the same superordinate term (e.g. daisy and rose are co- hyponyms of the class of flowers). Semantic field (a set of lexemes which cover a certain conceptual domain. Related to the concept of hyponymy, but more loosely defined) specific-general/ general-specific reference (words referring to the same thing or person, but where one provides greater detail than another) ordered series (words that we recognise as part of a set series minutes, hours,days, week, seasons, etc.) whole-part relations, where one word names a part of an item that another names in full (apple-- pips)

4 Synonims These are the elements that inspired the look of the hotel of Ruairí and his wife Marie-Thérèse, which is an incredibly simple and rustic design hotel.

5 General-specific/superordinator-hyponym
The building was hard to spot among the village cluster of the pub, the shop, and a few cottages, as it is perfectly camouflaged by a limestone façade – a long, low building that is more like an Andy Goldsworthy creation than a hotel.

6 antonyms A rustic but stylish hotel set among the stone walls of Inis Meáin is helping to bring new life to this Aran island[…] These are the elements that inspired the look of the hotel of Ruairí and his wife Marie-Thérèse, which is an incredibly simple and rustic design hotel. The building was hard to spot among the village cluster of the pub, the shop, and a few cottages, as it is perfectly camouflaged by a limestone façade – a long, low building that is more like an Andy Goldsworthy creation than a hotel

7 Semantic field: agriculture,geology, vegetation.
The ridges are all stone: thousands of dry stone walls enclosing tiny, empty fields, most cultured by people long gone, and a few still maintained by the island’s diminishing population of around 200. Other expansive slabs of limestone, too resistant to the traditional farming methods when soil was created from sand and seaweed, still boasts fissures filled with rare, wild flowers.

8 Text 5.1 (WWT) Main forms of lexical cohesion
Repetition: juice (2), apples (2) Synonyms: near synonyms: ensure-take care Antonyms: put them into vs spoon out superordination: where one word (hyperonym) encompasses other meanings (hyponyms): fruit>apple Co-hyponyms: apples, brandy, sugar, wine, water, double cream Semantic field: cookery, specific-general/ general-specific reference (words referring to the same thing or person, but where one provides greater detail than another): apples-cooked apples, sugar-rest of the sugar ordered series (words that we recognise as part of a set series of minutes, hours, days, week, seasons, etc.): gas regulator 6 - 3 whole-part relations, where one word names a part of an item that another names in full (apple– pips, fruit-juice) rinton (2000: p. 112) defines "semantic field" or "semantic domain" and relates the linguistic concept to hyponymy: "Related to the concept of hyponymy, but more loosely defined, is the notion of a semantic field or domain. A semantic field denotes a segment of reality symbolized by a set of related words. The words in a semantic field share a common semantic property."[6] A general and intuitive description is that words in a semantic field are not synonymous, but are all used to talk about the same general phenomenon.

9 Cohesion beyond verbal text
Which relation links visual and verbal contents?

10 Cohesion beyond verbal text
Which relation links visual and verbal contents? Metonymy: two ideas are juxtaposed and linked by association underpants for maleness/prostate

11 Other activities: Carter et al. Working with texts (WWT)
Formality as an element of cohesion Text 5:5 (leter from a bank manager…)
