Title   A Study on the Correlation between Cohesive Devices and Textual Coherence in L2 Writing 

Abstract

This paper is to study English majors’ use of cohesive devices, especially referential items, in L2 writing through the statistic analysis of 40 English sophomores’ L2 compositions. Based on Halliday’s textual cohesion theory and the results of  researches in this field that have been conducted, this paper is to examine both quantitatively and qualitatively those cohesive devices which may weaken textual coherence from the aspects of personal reference and demonstrative reference, and to find out some potential factors behind the choice of these cohesive devices on the basis of the research result. Some suggestions are also made on how to improve writing ability and strengthen English learners’ textual consciousness in order to help them write out coherent texts of high quality.

1 Introduction

1.1 Research Background

Writing, as we all know, is certain to be the most challenging one among the four fundamental language skills (listening, speaking, reading and writing) in English acquisition. Second language writing (L2 writing for short), as one vital language skill and one of the major criteria for appraising the language ability of English learners, has gained more and more emphasis in the study of second language acquisition. On L2 writing, various studies have been carried out in terms of vocabulary, syntax and thinking mode employed during the process of writing and so forth. Through analyzing some existing problems and putting forward feasible suggestions to the point, they have promoted both “teaching” and “acquiring” in L2 writing. However, the overall textual quality of L2 compositions, especially reflected through cohesion and coherence, is yet to be improved.文献综述 二语写作中衔接方式与语篇连贯的相关性研究:http://www.youerw.com/yingyu/lunwen_76686.html
