초록
The purpose of this study is to examine cohesive devices in English writing textbooksand Korean college students’ writings through text and corpus analyses. An analysis ofthree writing textbooks used in one college English program in Seoul showed that thetextbooks did not cover a full range of cohesive devices; instead, they focused onsentence transitions and conjunctions, which L2 writers often overuse or misuse. Othercohesive devices such as demonstratives and lexical cohesive devices such as synonyms,paraphrasing, or collocations, however, were rarely covered. To understand how Koreancollege students actually use cohesive devices in writing, this study also analyzed thefrequencies of sentence transitions and demonstratives in learner and native speakercorpora. The results revealed L2 learners’ tendency to overuse sentence transitions anddemonstrative pronouns compared to native speakers. However, the results also showedthat as proficiency increases, learners tend to use fewer sentence transitions.
