Abstract
Corpus-based approaches to analyze literary texts are getting popular as these provide unbiased and transparent quantitative results of a specific phenomenon within a limited time. This study utilizes Halliday and Hassan’s model of cohesion to conduct corpus-based study of conjunctions of James Joyce’s novel A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. Their model of cohesion is based on two main types of cohesion that are lexical cohesion and grammatical cohesion. The main concern of this research is grammatical cohesion. Grammatical cohesion considers four main types of cohesion that are ellipsis, substitution, referencing, and conjunctions. Conjunctions are the words that join words, sentences, and phrases, and coherence is achieved in a text. This AntConc corpus tool by Lawrence Anthony is used for text analysis, text mining, and for general-purpose analysis. Results and findings are elaborated with the help of figures and tables that are taken from the corpus tool
