substitution

A type of cohesive device.

Do not omit the word(s), but use a synonym (or synonyms) to refer to the same thing.

For example: The boy and the girl went to the shop where they bought an ice cream each. The boy bought a chocolate flavoured ice cream and the girl bought a caramel one. He asked for his in a cup, she a cone. Afterwards, they went to the park.

one = ice cream
