Linguistics Studies
rhetorical and cohesive elements of language
Hi everyone,
I am not sure if I am posting to the right sub-forum, but if not, please forgive me.
I am having a debate with someone and the discussion has come around to linguistics, which I have zero knowledge of. Can someone tell me, in layman terms so that I can understand, what are rhetorical and cohesive elements of language? Thanks in advance.
