Spoken language production theories and lesion studies highlight several important prelinguistic conceptual preparation processes involved in the production of cohesive and coherent connected speech.
Cohesion and coherence broadly connect sentences with preceding ideas and the overall topic. Broader
cognitive mechanisms may mediate these processes.
This study is an endeavor to find how English native and nonnative EFL/ESL (English as foreign language/English as second
language) writers use adversative conjunctions to connect ideas together so that texts have both coherence and cohesion.
