Text Cohesion & Transition Analyzer

Mesure l'utilisation de transitions, la liaison entre paragraphes, la cohérence des références pronominales et les changements abrupts de sujet.

Non conçu pour le Français

Cet outil a été calibré pour l'anglais (et quelques langues proches). Les résultats en Français risquent de ne pas être significatifs.

Quand l’utiliser

Use on essays, blog posts, and long-form articles where ideas need to flow from paragraph to paragraph. Marketing copy often *should* score lower (direct, punchy).

Comparaison

Most readability tools miss cohesion entirely. A 5th-grade Flesch score with zero transitions still reads as choppy.

Comment ça marche

The analyzer scans for five families of connective phrases — addition, contrast, cause, sequence, example — and counts their density.

Paragraph linkage measures the % of paragraphs that begin with an explicit transition. Pronoun ratio captures referential cohesion.

The composite score blends transition density (40%), paragraph linkage (30%), and pronoun cohesion (30%).

FAQ

What is cohesion vs. coherence?

Cohesion is the local glue between sentences (transitions, pronouns). Coherence is the global logic of the whole text. This tool measures cohesion.

What target score should I aim for?

60+ is healthy for essays and articles. Marketing copy can score lower (more direct, fewer transitions).

Why does it flag paragraphs with no transition?

Each new paragraph should signal how it relates to the previous one. Starting cold often loses readers.

Exemple concret

Entrée

I tried the new café. The coffee was strong. The pastry was fresh. I will go back.

Sortie

Cohesion: 28 / 100 — Choppy.

Four short sentences in a row with zero transitions and no pronouns linking back. Cohesion is low even though every sentence is grammatical.

Pièges courants

  • High transition density isn't automatically good — overuse signals AI-style padding.
  • Pronoun ratio can be inflated by dialogue.
  • Doesn't evaluate logical coherence — only surface cohesion.
