About cohesive features in EFL writing

I intend to make a small corpus of English majors writing, based on which to explore the cohesive devices employed by those students. Is it feasible? should i analyze one kind or all kinds of cohesive devices? Can anyone give me any suggestion?
THANKS!
 
I think that's feasible.

You can base your classification of the cohesive devices on either Quirk et al (1985) or Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Frenman (1999)'s framework.

It's better to analyse more than one category of cohesive devices, such as listing, summative, appositional, contrastive, transitional, inferential, resultive, corroborative etc..

非常感谢ocean的帮助。基于韩礼德(1976)的分类好不好?
期待更多老师的批评和建议。

Celce-Murcia and Larsen-Freeman (1999)的分类就是基于韩礼德(1976)的分类,做了一些简化:Additive, adversative, Causal and Temporal (see, Chen 2006)

有些衔接手段(比如reference,omission)是不是不好检索啊?用WS4能检索出来吗?
