Why is it important?
The majority of the studies so far conducted on cohesive devices focused on how these tools maintained texture in certain types of texts. This paper focuses on another dimension, the links that exist between the text and the outer world, or context and culture.
Perspectives
This is an interesting work that revealed the writers' purposes of using cohesive devices in a way that serves purposes related to context and culture.
