lexical cohesion
Reiteration
Repetition
The most direct form of lexical cohesion is repetition of a lexical item; e.g. bear in sentence Algy met a bear. The bear was bulgy , . Here the second occurrence of bear harks back to the first.
Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
"Oh, woeful, oh woeful, woeful, woeful day!
Hyponymy
Hyponymy shows the relationship between a generic term (hypernym) and a specific instance of it (hyponym). A hyponym is a word or phrase whose semantic field is more specific than its hypernym. The semantic field of a hypernym, also known as a superordinate, is broader than that of a hyponym.
For example, pigeon, crow, eagle, and seagull are all hyponyms of bird, their hypernym, which itself is a hyponym of animal, its hypernym.
Antonymy
An antonym is a word that means the opposite of another word. For example, hot and cold are antonyms, as are good and bad. Antonyms can be all types of words: verbs
For example, hot and cold are antonyms, as are good and bad
Meronymy
Meronymy is a semantic relation used in linguistics. A meronym denotes a constituent part of, or a member of something.
for example, the word hands in “needing more hands to finish the project,” where hands refers to people, and the term set of wheels in “driving a new set of wheels,” where set of wheels refers to an automobile.
Synonymy
A synonym is a word , morpheme , or phrase that means exactly or nearly the same as another word, morpheme, or phrase in a given language.
For example, in the English language (, the words begin, start, commence, and initiate are all synonyms of one another: they are synonymous.

Collocation
This is a term used in critical discourse analysis (1). It is used to describe two terms which are routinely found in conjunction with each other, and which may in fact be joined by a conjunction. One common collocation used in international education policy is 'to close the gap and raise the bar'.
Some examples are "pay attention", "fast food", "make an effort", and "powerful engine". ! !
Lexical cohesion is about meaning in text. It concerns the ways in which lexical items relate to each other and to other cohesive devices so that textual continuity is created.
