How to write
paragraph with adequate and inadequate
A
paragraph is a collection of sentences which all relate to one main idea or
topic. Effective paragraphs have four main characteristics: a topic sentence,
unity, coherence, and adequate development.
Adequate Development means to
communicate a single idea fully, clearly, and effectively.
The Differences between Cohesion and Coherence
Cohesion
Cohesion
is a state or situation in which all the parts or ideas fit together well so
that they form a united whole. Synonym : cohesiveness, coherence
Example
: There was no cohesion in their performance. The lack of cohesion within the party lost them votes at election time.
Coherence
Coherence
Coherence
has two specific meanings/usages.
(1) The quality that something has when it
makes sense or is pleasing because all the parts or steps fit together well and
logically Synonym : unity Antonym : incoherence
Example : The stage sets were brilliant and
they gave coherence to a piece which was bitty in the second half. The points
you make are fine, but the whole essay lacks coherence.
(2) A state or situation in which all the
parts or ideas fit together so well so that they form a united whole. Synonym
cohesion, cohesiveness Antonym : incoherence
Example : His arrival threatened the
coherence of the group. France's
entry enhanced the coherence of the alliance.
Tell more about Cohesion
Cohesion
Cohesion is achieved when writers connect
their organized parts with sufficiently clear and numerous signals--like the
words 'finally,' 'thus,' 'however,'--to make the development of their cases
intelligible and to lead the reader safely along the emerging lines of their
arguments. . . .
"[W]riting must have not only coherence, an effective design, but cohesion, an explicit set of 'hooks' and 'ties' that ensure a reader's interest and comprehension. Coherence is the kind of 'holding together' that a good design will give any discourse, whether written or spoken. Cohesion is the result of giving readers the right kind of explicit help in figuring out the design. Cohesion gives readers the clues for discovering coherence."
(Wayne C. Booth and Marshall W. Gregory, The Harper & Row Rhetoric: Writing as Thinking/Thinking as Writing, 1987)

Types of Cohesion
"In linguistics,
[cohesion is] the use of language forms to indicate semantic
relations between elements in a discourse.
Grammatical cohesion concerns such matters as reference,
ellipsis,
substitution,
and conjunction;
lexical cohesion concerns such features as synonymy, antonymy,
metonymy, collocation,
repetition,
etc.; instantial cohesion concerns ties that are valid only for a
particular text. Together, cohesion and register
contribute to textuality,
the sense that something is a text and not a random
collection of sentences."
(Tom Michael McCarthy and Tom McArthur, "Cohesion." The Oxford Companion to the English Language. Oxford Univ. Press, 1992)
