Languages differ in the level of lexical repetition they will normally tolerate. Greek, as Arabic, tolerates a far higher level of lexical repetition than English, so some lexical items arerepeated, Reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion are the devices identified by Halliday and Hasan for establishing cohesive links in English. These devices are probably common to many languages. However, different languages have different preferences for using specific devices more frequently than others. For instance, pronominalization is very frequent in English, while lexical repetition is uncommon. Cohesion is also achieved by many other devices: continuity of tense, consistency of style and punctuation. Cohesion may often contribute to redundancy in text. Finally, the overall level of cohesion may vary from one language to another. even within the same language, different texts will vary in the density of their cohesive ties.
