  2. Metafunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metafunction

    These systems "create coherent text – text that coheres within itself and with the context of situation" [8] They are both structural (involving choices relating to the ordering of elements in the clause), and non-structural (involving choices that create cohesive ties between units that have no structural bond).

  3. Cohesion (chemistry) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(chemistry)

    Cohesion allows for surface tension, creating a "solid-like" state upon which light-weight or low-density materials can be placed. Mercury exhibits more cohesion than adhesion with glass Rain water flux from a canopy. Among the forces that govern drop formation: cohesion, surface tension, Van der Waals force, Plateau–Rayleigh instability

  4. Jakobson's functions of language - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jakobson's_functions_of...

    The six factors of an effective verbal communication. Each corresponds to a communication function (not displayed in this picture). [1] Roman Jakobson defined six functions of language (or communication functions), according to which an effective act of verbal communication can be described. [2] Each of the functions has an associated factor.

  5. Surface tension - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surface_tension

    There is also a tension parallel to the surface at the liquid-air interface which will resist an external force, due to the cohesive nature of water molecules. [1] [2] The forces of attraction acting between molecules of the same type are called cohesive forces, while those acting between molecules of different types are called adhesive forces.

  6. Cohesion (linguistics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cohesion_(linguistics)

    Cohesion is the grammatical and lexical linking within a text or sentence that holds a text together and gives it meaning. It is related to the broader concept of coherence. There are two main types of cohesion: grammatical cohesion: based on structural content; lexical cohesion: based on lexical content and background knowledge.

  7. Group cohesiveness - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Group_cohesiveness

    Group cohesiveness, also called group cohesion, social harmony or social cohesion, is the degree or strength of bonds linking members of a social group to one another and to the group as a whole. [1] Although cohesion is a multi-faceted process, it can be broken down into four main components: social relations , task relations, perceived unity ...

  8. Communicative language teaching - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Communicative_language...

    Learners in environments using communication to learn and practice the target language by communication with one another and the instructor, the study of "authentic texts" (those written in the target language for purposes other than language learning), and the use of the language both in class and outside of class.

  9. Complex harmonic motion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Complex_harmonic_motion

    In physics, complex harmonic motion is a complicated realm based on the simple harmonic motion.The word "complex" refers to different situations. Unlike simple harmonic motion, which is regardless of air resistance, friction, etc., complex harmonic motion often has additional forces to dissipate the initial energy and lessen the speed and amplitude of an oscillation until the energy of the ...
