Ph. D. Webinar - Cohesion and Adhesion
Part 1 of 4 in our 2021 Principles of Writing series.
In this webinar lecture, we examine how to make your writing more understandable by improving Cohesion. We also introduce how you can control the flow of ideas using the General-to-Specific principle, how to construct controlled and understandable paragraphs with Cohesion, and how to create better flow between paragraphs with Adhesion.
Improving your paragraph cohesion is the first step to better writing for you and more understandable writing for your reader.
