cohesion means 'cues that are directly observable in a text', whereas 'coherence' refers to 'connections that are formed in the mind of the reader or listener' (McNamara 2013: 590). Palmer (1999), who has also studied the field of coherence and cohesion, highlights the difference as well, also drawing on various other authors. He points out that if we look at what has been said by Widdowson, we can conclude, in spite of some differing views, that cohesion is not a necessary condition for coherence as we are sometimes perfectly capable of understanding texts that do not contain any cohesive links (Widdowson in Palmer 1999: 67). The opposite situation, however, leads to nonsense. Just because a text contains certain word patterns and even grammatically valid sentences does not mean it is coherent. There have even been successful attempts in developing text generators that could fool automated essay- grading software by compiling texts based on the keywords they are fed. A text generator that was given the keyword 'privacy' came up with the following sentences: 'Privateness has not
