Cohesion Analysis of “Looking at Others People’s Garden” By: Paulo Coelho
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2014, Vol 5, Issue 6
Abstract
This research study explores the relation between grammatical and lexical cohesion that determines meaningful chronological order in a text. The principles of referencing, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion stated by Halliday and Hasan (1976) were applied on the text “Looking at others people’s garden” by Paulo Coelho to reveal the significance of the cohesive elements that are responsible for transforming it into a cohesive whole. How these cohesive devices constitute semantic links among the structurally unrelated elements in the linguistic system of a text are looked into. Pedagogically it is facilitative for learners to attain better semantic understanding of a text in second and foreign language.
