(__) The integral repetition of nouns, word by word, configures the main mechanism of textual cohesion indicated for academic texts in the English language.

(__) Connectors such as "however", "therefore", and "moreover" establish logical relations between clauses and paragraphs, articulating ideas throughout the written text.
