For this purpose, she developed an analytical tool, which takes into account formal and semantic features. The major outcome of the corpus analysis is that are much more flexible in form and function than Halliday/Hasan assumed and, most importantly, that they fulfil genre-specific functions some of which have not systematically been associated with lexical cohesion.
