Abstract (Swedish)
Den här uppsatsen undersöker och problematiserar textbindningen hos andraspråkselevers texter på gymnasiet för att se vilken typ av textbindning som kan vara extra svår för dem att producera, samt extra viktig att undervisa om. Det görs mot bakgrund av Rydling och Svenssons (2004) undersökning som visar på andraspråkstalares generellt lägre skriftliga nivå. Analysmodellen som används bygger på ett urval av textlingvistiska modeller, där definitioner av Collberg (2020), Hellspong & Ledin (1997) och Nyström (2000) appliceras för att undersöka koherens, i form av diskursrelationer, samt kohesion, i form av konnektiv-bindning, referensbindning och anaforisk länkning i andraspråkselevers texter. Sex olika problemtyper kopplat till textbindning... (More)

Sex olika problemtyper kopplat till textbindning hittas i elevtexterna varav de tre mest frekventa problemtyperna är Vilseledande konnektiv, Otydlig inferensbindning och Otydlig anaforisk länkning. Dessa problemtyper går även att finna i Wikborg och Björks (1989) analys av förstaspråkstalares texter på universitetsnivå. Textbindningens relation till erfarenhet av skrivande och kunskaper om målspråket diskuteras. (Less)
Abstract
This paper investigates and problematizes the cohesion of second language students' texts in secondary school to see what kind of cohesion may be particularly difficult for them to produce, as well as particularly important to teach. The investigation is carried out in the light of Rydling and Svensson's (2004) study showing a generally lower level of writing by second language speakers in the Swedish secondary school. The analysis model is based on a selection of text linguistic models, where definitions by Collberg (2020), Hellspong & Ledin (1997) and Nyström (2000) are applied to investigate textual coherence, in terms of discourse relations, and cohesion, in terms of the use of connectives, anaphors and referential coherence.

This paper investigates and problematizes the cohesion of second language students' texts in secondary school to see what kind of cohesion may be particularly difficult for them to produce, as well as particularly important to teach. The investigation is carried out in the light of Rydling and Svensson's (2004) study showing a generally lower level of writing by second language speakers in the Swedish secondary school. The analysis model is based on a selection of text linguistic models, where definitions by Collberg (2020), Hellspong & Ledin (1997) and Nyström (2000) are applied to investigate textual coherence, in terms of discourse relations, and cohesion, in terms of the use of connectives, anaphors and referential coherence. Six different problem types related to cohesion are found in the student texts of which the three most frequent problem types are Misleading connectives, Underspecified inferences and Underspecified anaphors. These types of problematic cohesion can also be found in Wikborg and Björk's (1989) analysis of first language speakers’ texts at university level. The relationship between cohesion and writing experience as well as knowledge of the target language is discussed in the paper. (Less)
