COHESION AND SEMANTIC UNDERSTANDING
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
This research paper aims to explore the relation between different cohesive devices and semantics of a text. Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) model of cohesion consisting of referencing, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and lexical cohesion has been applied on a text: “How one thing can contain everything” by Paulo Coelho. How cohesive devices result in semantic linkages among different structural elements at both grammatical and lexical levels has been looked into. A better appreciation of the relationship between cohesive devices and semantics would facilitate second or foreign language learners in developing better semantic comprehension and meaningful flow in target language.
