Stylistics II: Textual Cohesion and Coherence



This course will help students become familiar with certain linguistic mechanisms that build coherence/cohesion within a text: lexical and grammatical substitutes, alternating “thème/rhème”, modal qualifiers, and argumentative connectors. We will analyze these linguistic and textual processes. Students will write various short texts: descriptive, explicative, and argumentative. The purpose of the course is to reach clarity and to express nuances using textual analysis and producing written texts.
