Abstract
Cohesion strategies used by 3 normal and 3 head-injured adults were examined in both conversational and narrative conditions. Two major findings emerged. First, the head-injured subjects used different cohesion patterns from the normal adults in both conditions. Second, both groups used different cohesion patterns in the conversational and narrative conditions. The study highlights the importance of viewing the language of head-injured adults within the context of discourse. Testing the language system through narrative as well as conversational discourse is important since both conditions are characterized by their own distinctive internal structure and organization.
