Cohesion - Cohesie
Contraction
A very common way of creating cohesion, or more specifically, avoiding repetion, is to leave out words that have occurred previously in the same sentence. This process is known as contraction. Likely candidates for this are pronouns (like hij in the first example below), but nouns are quite frequently left out too (like zwembaden in the second example below).
| John van 't Schip stapt op als trainer van FC Twente. Hij werd daar vorig jaar hoofdtrainer en beleefde een moeilijk seizoen. |
| John van 't Schip is quitting his job as trainer of FC Twente. Last year he became head trainer there and experienced a difficult season. |
| De dertien zwembaden in Amsterdam en een aantal uit de omgeving gaan lastige klanten weren. |
| The thirteen swimming pools in Amsterdam and a number of those in the surrounding area are going to ban difficult customers. |
Back to home.
