In relations involving ‘replacement’, one piece of information is replaced with another, ie. alternative ideas are offered, for example:
Such a policy could stimulate the economy or it could plunge it deeper into
recession.
2. Comparison and Contrast In this type of relation, two ideas may be considered to be similar comparison,
for example: It is hard to see why a code in which GGC means glycerine and AAG means
lysine is either better or worse than one in which the meanings are reversed. Similarly a language in which “horse” mean a quadruped with cloven hoofs and
horns, and “cow” one with a single toe and a mane, would be neither better nor worse than English.
Such a policy could stimulate the or
It could plunge it deeper into recession The writer introduces a
second, alternative idea using or
It is hard to see why a code in which GGC means glycerine and AAG
means lysine is either better or worse than one in which the meanings are
reversed.
Similarly a language in which “horse” mean a
quadruped with cloven hoofs and horns, and “cow” one with a single
toe and a mane, would be neither better nor worse than English
The writer compares the idea in the first sentence
about code wth the idea in the second sentence
about language.

Two ideas may be considered to be different contrast, for example: Whereas pain and discomfort usually lead to avoidance behaviour, hunger and
thirst usually lead a person to seek food and drink. Anorexic patients, however, do not respond to hunger in the normal way.
We can also add relationships of concession to this group. While the two ideas in a concessive relation are in contrast with each other, one tends to be surprising
or unexpected in view of the other, for example: Even though the government introduced policies to stimulate the economy, the
recession worsened. pain and discomfort usually lead to
avoidance behaviour Wherea

do not respond to hunger in the normal way.
The writer contrasts the normal reaction to
pain and discomfort with the normal
reaction to hunger and thirst by introducing
one clause with whereas.
Whereas here does not come between the
clauses it joins.
Even though the government introduced
policies to stimulate the economy
the recession worsened.
The writer uses even though to introduce the
idea of stimulating the economy and to preare the
reader for an unexpected outcome – the worsening of
the recession.
