ALBERT: A Lite BERT for Self-supervised Learning of Language Representations (2019, background): “Coherence and cohesion in discourse have been widely studied and many phenomena have been identified that connect neighboring text segments (Hobbs, 1979; Halliday & Hasan, 1976; Grosz et al., 1995).”
Towards Coherent and Cohesive Long-form Text Generation (2018, background): “…Rhetorical Structure Theory (Mann and Thompson, 1988), and other forms of coherence and cohesion relations and their quantiﬁ-cation (Edmundson, 1969; Halliday and Hasan, 1976; Hobbs, 1985; McKeown, 1985; Cohen and Levesque, 1985; Hovy, 1988; Liddy, 1991; Hovy, 1991; Mani et al., 1998; Cristea et…”
Modeling Local Coherence: An Entity-Based Approach (2005, background): “In other theories, salience is defined in terms of topicality (Chafe 1976; Prince 1978), predictability (Kuno 1972; Halliday and Hasan 1976), and cognitive accessibility (Gundel, Hedberg, and Zacharski 1993). More refined accounts expand the notion of salience from a binary distinction to a scalar o”
Planning with Learned Entity Prompts for Abstractive Summarization (2021, methodology): “As entities in the summary contribute to the continuity of lexical meaning of the summary, we hypothesize that by learning to predict the entity chain c in advance, we enforce our model to learn entity-level lexical cohesion (Barzilay and Elhadad, 1997) and coherence (Halliday and Hasan, 1976; Azzam”

Predicting Second Language Writing Proficiency: The Roles of Cohesion and Linguistic Sophistication (2012, background): “Cohesion is critical to the understanding of how language functions and is premised on the notion that the linking of ideas allows for the creation of coherent discourse (Halliday & Hasan, 1976).”
In the heat of the sequence: Interactional features preceding walkouts from argumentative talk (2001, background): “…is recognized that there are important ways through which referential coherence and “topic” are constituted through the design of talk (see especially Halliday & Hasan 1976, Sacks 1992), there are also various difficulties in treating units like “topic” as pervasively being the locally relevant…”
Mindful storytellers: Emerging pragmatics and theory of mind development (2013, background): “Table 3 presents the coding categories for the first-level cohesion scoring (based on Halliday & Hasan, 1976; Sebastián & Slobin, 1994; Trabasso & Nickels, 1992).”
Learner Articulation as Interactional Achievement: Studying the Conversation of Gesture (2002, background): “Halliday and Hasan (1976) used the term cohesion to describe the various mechanisms by which linkages are constructed across units of discourse.”
