"Collocation" is missing as a means to create cohesion through "lexical cohesion" But "cohesion" and "lexical cohesion" are about the connection of sentences in a text. "Collocation" though, refers to the connection between words in a phrase. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.17.223.250 (talk) 23:27, 24 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Seems wrong[edit]

Exophoric reference is used to describe generics or abstracts without ever identifying them (in contrast to anaphora and cataphora, which do identify the entity and thus are forms of endophora): e.g. rather than introduce a concept, the writer refers to it by a generic word such as "everything". The prefix "exo" means "outside", and the persons or events referred to in this manner will never be identified by the writer. Halliday and Hasan considered exophoric reference as not cohesive, since it does not tie two elements together into in text.

It might be identified by pointing. Also, it might not be a writer but a speaker. It is probably not H & H's opinion, but terminology they introduced (in the same sense that Euclid did not "consider" a circle to be the locus of points equidistant from a line).

All of the bolded words are either orthogonal to the definition given in the article on exophora (and therefore are red herrings), or are in contradiction with it. (I think the definition in exophora is correct.) 84.227.228.178 (talk) 11:21, 28 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"Collocation uses related words that typically go together or tend to repeat the same meaning. An example is the phrase "once upon a time". This is lexical cohesion."

What is? And how is it?

I mean, what exactly is the repeated meaning and where is it repeated in "once upon a time"? And then explain how and why that (whatever "that" is), is lexical cohesion. פשוט pashute ♫ (talk) 06:39, 23 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
