Is this some kind of cohesion?
(I did not expect nor was prepared for the level of complexity (((I had experienced.) ((Licentious behaviour, gallant behaviour and ineffable camaraderie were in a sense anachronistic to me given my age.)){)))}
- The first sentence enclosed within the parenthesis ( and ) is a coherent unit by itself.
- The second sentence enclosed within the parenthesis (( and )) is also a coherent unit by itself.
- The full stop separates both the first and second sentence
HOWEVER
When reading both sentences, the text starting at the parenthesis ((( ' I had experienced' ties seamlessly with the text enclosed within (( and )) despite the full stop after 'experienced'.
Example Two
(The discourse my lecturer offered was invaluable for my understanding of the kind of support available (((at my university.) (( I was given an extensive list of support sessions and personal recommendations functioning as coping strategies.)){)))}
The first sentence enclosed within the parenthesis ( and ) is a coherent unit by itself.
- The second sentence enclosed within the parenthesis (( and )) is also a coherent unit by itself.
- The full stop separates both the first and second sentence
HOWEVER
When reading both sentences, the text starting at the parenthesis ((( ' at my university' ties seamlessly with the text enclosed within (( and )) despite the full stop after 'university'.
I do not know is this phenomenon has meaning and definition in the realm of grammar. I think it is 'ultimate' cohesion. Imagine writing a paragraph that links so seamlessly from one sentence to another insofar that that a fragment from the sentence prior to a full stop would make sense when placed at the start of a sentence after a full stop, if that makes sense/

Gram The first sentence enclosed within the parenthesis ( and ) is a coherent unit by itself. No, it isn't. 'Experience' is transitive.
