• W245100862 abstract "Faced with different lengths of texts under study, previous research in cohesion has mathematically adjusted the data in ways that assume a linear relation between length and opportunities for writers to make cohesive ties. But because cohesion is often redundant, that relation probably is not linear, and gives an advantage to writers of longer essays. The failure of researchers to control the factor of length qualifies the implications of their findings. In the most recent research application of Halliday and Hasan's 1976 system of measuring cohesion, Jerome L. Neuner (1987) quite properly mentions length of the writing analyzed as a question worth the researcher's attention: how many differing lengths of essays under study affect the analysis? Neuner, however, does not face the most radical implications of this question. Since the essays he studies differ considerably in size, he expresses the presence of cohesive ties either as a proportion (percent of all ties) or as a frequency adjusted by square-root transformation. Other researchers, such as Cooper et al. (1980), Witte and Faigley (1981), Odell and Goswami (1982), McCulley (1985), and Fitzgerald and Spiegel (1986), attempt to control for length by expressing cohesion as a rate, as instances per T-unit or per word. McCulley also computes partial correlation coefficients with length held constant. All these mathematical adjustments of the data appear reasonable efforts to equalize performance in terms of opportunity. They assume that one writer who has produced twice as many words as another writer has had twice as many opportunities to produce cohesive ties, and this advantage ought to be controlled for. But is this assumption correct? Do such proportions and rates really adjust for opportunity? They would if each word offered only one opportunity for cohesion. But that is not the case. To see this crucial fact it helps to visualize how Halliday and Hasan's cohesive ties are counted. Analysis proceeds from the first word of the second T-unit, each new word being considered as a coherer, as a possible cohesive link to a precursor in preceding T-units. Obviously, if a previous word can count only once as precursor, then cohesive opportunities For assistance with this study I would like to thank Stephen Simko and the Washington State" @default.
