COMPARATIVE COHESION
In comparative cohesion something is
always compared with something else in the
discourse. Words of identity (e.g. same as),
similarity (e.g. very like), difference (e.g.
unlike); distinctness (e.g. totally different)
are important for comparative cohesion.

COHERENCE
The textual world (what the text is about) is made
up of concepts and relations. Coherence concerns
the way in which concepts and relations are
mutually accessible and relevant. In other
words, a coherent text is one which is easy for us
to understand because it is easy for us to make a
mental representation of it. Remember that it is
possible for a text to be cohesive but not
coherent. The Faulkner text is full of cohesive
elements but it is not easy to understand.
