Lexical cohesion
establishes semantic (through lexical devices, such as
repetition, equivalence - synonymy, hyponymy, hyperonymy, paraphrase,
collocation) and pragmatic (presupposition) connectedness; in contrast with the
previous types of cohesion, it operates over larger stretches of text since it
establishes chains of related references.
REITERATION – the repetition of the same lexical item + the occurrence of
a related item.
