Classification and Textual Function of Conclusions in Text and Paragraphs

Text and paragraph are two forms of discourse. Their conclusions are similar in structure and semantics. There are three types of conclusion sentence in paragraphs: closing sentence, comment sentence, concluding sentence. The closing sentence is the restatement of the theme of the paragraph and generally has a discourse marker indicating a summary; The comment sentence is the remark on the topic of the paragraph; The concluding sentence is the ending of the paragraph with both summary and comment. When the conclusion sentence is in the thesis paragraph, it is also the thesis statement of the text. There are two types of paragraphs in the conclusion part of the text: the transitional paragraph and the conclusion paragraph. The latter is a summary and comment on the topic of the text. Usually, the topic sentence of the conclusion paragraph, often accompanied by discourse markers indicating the general conclusion, is the closing sentence of the text, which forms a circulation in viewpoint with the thesis statement of the text through lexical cohesion of keyword repetition. The conclusion sentence of the conclusion paragraph is the comment sentence of the text, which forms an emotional echo with the title of the text and realizes the sublimation of the theme
