  1. LFFs This guide will help you learn the technical names of the Language Forms and Features that you just have to learn… spot… and use in English

  4. Conjunctions... (joining words)

  5. Cohesive techniques are usually repeated: • phrases, • catch-phrases, • Lexical chains (groups of words) • or, your thesis statement… • which (like a stapler that holds your pages together) “glues” ideas and images together through a text… from the beginning to the end! Cohesive techniques...

  6. Lexical (word) cohesion… • Word associations - form links within a text. • Repetition • Synonyms; antonyms; hyponyms; hypernyms "My dad bought a new car",             "bought" can be replaced by "purchased" (synonym—similar meaning)             "bought" can be replaced by "sold" (antonym—contrasting meaning)             "car" can be replaced by "Ford" (hyponym—more specific meaning)             "car" can be replaced by "vehicle" (hypernym—more general meaning) • Collocation - words which typically occur together, making a text predictable.

  7. Collocation?? • In fairy tales, the words "Once upon a time", "wicked stepmother", "wicked witch", and "lived happily ever after" collocate.
