Cohesion: linguistic devices that tie sentences together (pronouns, conjunctions, reference words)

Example

John went to the store. He bought milk → “He” refers to John → cohesion

Coherence: logical and meaningful flow of ideas in discourse

Example

John went to the store. Mary cooked dinner → still coherent if context explains why John’s shopping matters

Using linguistic devices (reference, substitution, conjunctions) to connect ideas = cohesion; coherence refers to overall logical flow
