It does not appear in the same dublicated element but also in the existence of different lexical item that is mainly related to the first one such as synonym or super ordinate of it. This case fits wide generally, without being sure of there is identity of reference or not. So lexical reiteration is not applied only on repeated items.(Halliday and Hasan,1976,p.284) Besides that there is the repetition. Repetition has a very significant role in order to make the text cohesive. In other words, repetition gives the reader hints to make him understand what the text is focusing on. Besides that it makes reader be able to give a brief summary of the whole text if he traces the repeated words.

First one is reference can reflect away back in the text but ellipsis and substitution are greatly limited to the previous clause. The second one is that reference and co-reference are typically items which refer to the same thing. But according to ellipsis and substitution the condition is not the same. There is also a difference between reference and substitution. The first one refers to something outside the language and inside it but the last one refers to something inside the language only.(Paltridge,2006,p.142) The fourth category in grammatical cohesion is conjunctions. Conjunctions are links and words that tie and knit the sentences in cohesive manner. They are divided into various types such as: additives, adversatives, causal, temporal and continuatives. The place of conjunctive adjunct is at the beginning of any sentence and it has its significant role. In other words the entire meaning of the adjunct reflects its shadow on the sentence. So the usage of colon and semi-colon after conjunctive adjunct has its importance.(Halliday and

When writing a novel authors must think not only about what they are about to write, but why they are going to write it. They have to select diction that will convey their inner thoughts and emotions. There is a need of imagery to pull the reader into the story so they will not lose their drive to read. Tone must constantly shift in order to keep the reader so engaged that they are determined to read until it all makes sense. From the longest to the shortest sentence, there is a reason -- called syntax-- why that sentence is there.
For my final project of the semester, Project 4, I decided to revise my rhetorical analysis of project 2. I took your comments and feedback very solemnly, to avail further my inditement. I understood the feedback consummately, and optically discerned precisely what I needed to do. The main thing I wanted to fixate on was understanding that the paper was filled with many conceptions, and constructing it down to precise conceptions, and expounding them exhaustively. I abstracted some conceptions that I believe that weren’t apart of the process of explicating the argument or how it works.

In history there have been multiple leaders that have used rhetoric, propaganda and charismatic personalities to gain power, despite their morals.
An important discourse community that was a part of my life was my volleyball team during my four years of high school. I started playing my first year going into high school and continued until I graduated.

During the 1980s, space exploration was a popular topic to watch, listen to, and learn about in American life. NASA had already sent a lot of missions to space, all reaching new milestones and increasing interest in space exploration. The Challenger, however, had a different mission than the rest.

It seems as if Americans must learn a hard lesson when one is able to find two separate works,decades apart, yet united with similar purpose. In the year of 1852 a former slave by the name of Frederick Douglas gave a speech on the Fourth of July titled “The Hypocrisy of American Slavery”. Years later in 1965, after a violent incident in Selma, Alabama, President Lyndon B. Johnson gave a speech titled “We Shall Overcome” to a full congress. Both speeches, convey the same concept of equality, and are infused with the same persuasive techniques to develop the argument that all men are created equal.

In the future I will try to recieve help earlier on because at first I struggled to understand what the purpose of the paper was.
