Cohesion in Film
Chiao‐I Tseng · Palgrave Macmillan UK eBooks · 2013
This chapter develops the framework of cohesion in film, with a particular focus on filmic cohesive reference, or identification 1 borrowing Martin’s term. As reviewed in Chapter 2, the choices of the identification system in natural language realise the identity tracking of people, places and things throughout a text, and the structures of identification, namely, how relevant people, places and things are actually tracked, highlights the unity of a particular text. The chapter as a whole will unravel how this framework provides a powerful method for examining cohesive ties between characters, objects and settings within and across scenes in film.
