Coherence, Cohesion, and Writing Quality

0.00 (0 votes)
Document Description
A question of continuing interest to researchers in writing is what internal characteristics distinguish essays ranked high and low in overall quality. Empirical research at the college level has for the most part taken two approaches to this question, examining errors1 and syntactic features2 while generally ignoring the features of texts that extend across sentence boundaries. Neither the error approach nor the syntactic approach has been entirely satisfactory.
