ABSTRACT
It often happens that two parts of a text are connected in meaning. For instance, in a story, the events described in one sentence often follow the events described in the previous sentence. Sometimes this connection may be explicitly stated in the text; or it may be implicit and left for the reader to figure out. Compare these two examples:
(269) I handed Paul the canteen of water. He drank a little and handed it back to me. I drank and hung it back up.
