Summary/Abstract: This paper is concerned with cohesive devices in written legal discourse, which is a differentiated language variety with a number of prominent features. The ways in which coherence and cohesion are formed in written legal discourse are explained, as well as the ways in which cohesive devices in legal texts contribute to coherence. Cohesive devices are first theoretically explicated and afterward they are analyzed on the basis of examples taken from references and the corpus. The corpus is created from legal documents of the European Union
