1.语法手段
(1)照应:指使话语中某一实体的所指在文本中得以确定的语义关系。它是一些起信号作用的词汇,其语义必须从该词语所指的对象中寻找答案。
照应分为人称照应、指示照应和比较照应。比较照应通过形容词和副词的比较级等形式以及其他一些有比较意义的词语(same`identical`such`equal`different`otherwise等)表示照应关系。
(2)替代:通过用某一词替代前面句中出现的名词(短语)、动词(短语)或小句来实现的衔接关系。替代有名词替代、动词替代和小句替代。
(3)省略:指把语篇中某些成分省去不提。省略使上下句在语义上建立一种相互依赖关系,使语篇紧凑,被省略的成分能从上下文中找到。省略可分为名词省略、动词省略和小句省略。
(4)连接:指连接成分凭借其自身的意义使语篇建立句子间的语义联系。Halliday和Hasan把连接分为添加(in addition等)、转折、因果和时间。

指语篇中使用一些相互之间存在意义联系的词语,从而建立一个贯穿语篇的语义链,保证语篇的连贯性。词汇手段分为重复、同义/反义、上下义和词汇搭配。此处的搭配指一般意义上句子中同一结构内的词语搭配(如动词与名词、形容词与名词等),习惯性共现类型的搭配(如hair与comb,sky与 sunshine等)。
