t. Cohesion is an objective property of the
explicit language and text. There are explicit features,
words, phrases, or sentences that guide the reader in interpreting the substantive ideas in the text, in connecting ideas
with other ideas, and in connecting ideas to higher level
global units (e.g., topics and themes). These cohesive devices cue the reader on how to form a coherent representation.

"This referential relationship between the words – words systematically indicating other words – forms a system of higher-order relationships that allow words to be about indexical relationships, and not just indices in themselves. But this is also why words need to be in context ith other words, in phrases and sentences, in order to have any determinate reference. THeir indexical power is distributed, so to speak, in the relationships between words. Symbolic reference derives from combinatorial possibilities and impossibilities, and we therefore depend on combinations both to discover it (during learning) and to make use of it (during communication). Thus the imagined version of nonhuman animal language is made up of isolated words, but lacking regularities that govern possible combination, is ultimately a contradiction in terms" (Deacon, Symbolic Species)
