1.0 Introduction

This Unit is a continuation of what we started in Unit 11. In Unit 1, we started looking at the idea of a text and the properties of a text. You learnt about the textuality, which is what makes a text not just a random collection of sentences, but a collection of related ideas and, which has meaning as a whole. The two most important properties of a text we examined are cohesion and coherence. In Unit 12, we looked at the five grammatical cohesive devices. In this Unit, we shall be looking at the lexical cohesive devices, which are six in number.
