Pretty sure it says at the start that Debbie de Laps is the chief assessor. But I might be wrong, or I might have read it wrong..

Hello everyone!
Does anyone know how antonymy can be used to create lexical cohesion in a text?

As far as I know, antonymy generally allows linkage and emphasis through contrast. It can also help clarify something and help readers/listeners in making sense of a discourse. It depends on context (like pretty much everything in Eng Lang)
So for example: Antonymy is employed in "I like soft pillows, not hard ones" (insert random line number), where the antonyms "soft" and "hard" are employed to reinforce and emphasise the message that the writer desires soft pillows.
EDIT: VCAA 2008 question 5 was on antonymy and cohesion. The examination report said this for antonymy:
SpoilerAntonymy in this text creates cohesion by providing a contrast and providing a link between opposing ideas. For example, "little" contrasts with "giant", "huge" and "great".

Hello,
Could you please help me with the different possible functions of texts?
I'm currently writing an analytical commentary on the transcript of Quentin Bryce's Swearing in ceremony as Governor General, but I'm not sure what the function would be.
Thanks
