Cohesion in English is achieved through grammatical and
lexical devices, as categorized in the seminal work by
Halliday and Hasan. Regarding the use of substitution
and ellipsis as cohesive mechanisms in discourse, mark
T for True or F for False:
( ) Substitution involves the replacement of one linguistic item by another, such as using "one" to replace a previously mentioned noun.
( ) Ellipsis can be defined as "substitution by zero," where a clause or part of it is omitted because it is understood from the context.
( ) Lexical cohesion is strictly limited to the repetition of the exact same word throughout a paragraph to maintain thematic unity.
( ) Anaphoric reference occurs when a pronoun refers forward to a noun that will only be introduced in the subsequent chapter of the book.
After analysis, choose the alternative that presents the CORRECT sequence:
