the overall sense of unity, logic, and connectedness in a text or discourse, where the ideas, information, and elements are organized and presented in a clear and meaningful way

What is "coherence"?

Coherence refers to the logical connections and consistency in a piece of writing or speech, allowing ideas to flow smoothly and making it easier for the audience to understand the message. It ensures that different parts of the text or conversation relate to each other in a meaningful way, helping to create a clear overall structure. For example, in a coherent essay, each paragraph builds on the previous one and contributes to the main argument, guiding the reader through the content without confusion. Coherence is important in effective communication, as it enhances clarity and comprehension.

What is "register"?

Register refers to the variation in language use depending on the context, audience, and purpose of communication. It involves adjusting vocabulary, tone, and style to suit different situations, such as formal, informal, academic, or casual settings. For example, a person may use formal language in a job interview but switch to a more casual tone when chatting with friends. Understanding register is important for effective communication, as it helps convey the appropriate level of professionalism or familiarity based on the audience and context.

phrase

/ɑːnðə fˈɛns/
Idiom
Informal

used to show indecision over something

What is the origin of the idiom "on the fence" and when to use it?

The origin of the idiom "on the fence" can be traced back to the literal image of someone physically sitting or straddling a fence, which represents a position of neutrality or indecision. The phrase has been in use since the late 19th century and has its roots in the idea of being caught between two sides or options. It can also be used in discussions about opinions or beliefs when someone is hesitant to take a definitive stance or express a clear viewpoint.
