ELLIPSIS, REFERENCE & SUBSTITUTION AS COHESIVE DEVICES THE BEAR BY ANTON CHEKHOV
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2013, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
There are several cohesive relations that link the sentences into a text. In this one act play “The Bear” by “Anton Chekhov”, there will be highlighted substitution, ellipsis and reference. These mechanisms of cohesion, common to all languages, make a series of sentences coherent, so they do not seem to occur randomly. Their common purpose is to avoid the burdening repetitions within the text, and to make the whole text cohere. The linguistic devices of “ellipsis, substitution and reference” will be illustrated on selected one act play “The Bear”. Finally, we find that each of the elements however, has identifiable functions which contribute to the effective meaning of the story. It can therefore be concluded that these elements trigger and play important roles in passing the intention of the writer across.
