An Analysis of Lexical Cohesion in the Text “After Twenty Years”

Lexical cohesion plays an important role in forming a discourse, which effectively connects different part of the text and contributes to the main idea. In terms of short stories, lexical cohesion aims to linguistically enhance plot description, image building and theme expression. This study investigates the lexical devices in the short story After Twenty Years written by O. Henry. By means of discourse analysis, it turns out that O. Henry takes advantage of both reiteration and collocation. For one thing, four kinds of lexical cohesion, including repetition, synonym or near-synonym, superordinate, and general word, are all used in the text to form lexical cohesion. For another, multiple collocation chains manage to integrate the scene, the characters, and the plot from different dimensions. The overall result shows that the short story is highly cohesive, which largely makes it a great work around the world.

The 1948 Soviet-Yugoslav Conflict in the Public Discourse of Montenegro

The article analyzes Montenegrin public discourse in the first years after the Second World War in the context of the political conflict between the Soviet Union and Yugoslavia in 1948. The research has been based on archival material, daily press, and texts in literary journals, and is focused on the change of public discourse towards the ussr, conditioned by the political and ideological conflict between Yugoslavia and the ussr. The historical and semantic-pragmatic analysis of the text, as well as the analysis of lexical cohesion and taxonomy, indicate all changes in public discourse that result from the political conflict between the two countries. The critical analysis of public discourse points to the justification of the initial research hypothesis that political processes had a dominant influence on the formation of postwar public discourse in Montenegro.

Lexical cohesion analysis on articles of the Russia-Ukraine conflict in Arabic and English online newspapers

Discourse studies on the Russia-Ukraine conflict have been conducted in the past few years, especially in newspapers. Comparative studies on the media in several countries have been widely carried out; however, none so far focused on comparing Arabic and English newspapers. Thus, this article aimed to examine the lexical cohesion of Arabic and English newspapers to identify each newspaper’s tendency to represent the conflict. Aljazeera and The Guardian newspaper were designated as subjects of the study, in which five opinions published in March 2022 by each newspaper were purposively selected as data sources. Data was collected through internet archival documentation techniques and analysed by referring to the lexical cohesion theory framework proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2013). The results showed that repetition was the dominant cohesive device used in Aljazeera, whereas repetition and collocation were the most used lexical cohesion devices in The Guardian. The use of these lexical cohesion devices showed that Aljazeera took a neutral position in representing conflicts and actors. On the other hand, The Guardian tended to side with Ukraine while framing Russia and Putin negatively. Differences in these tendencies were due to the differences in interests. Aljazeera could stay impartial because Qatar had no political interests in the conflict. By contrast, The Guardian was positioning itself against Russia and Putin because Britain had economic and geopolitical interests in the conflict.

Lexical Cohesion: A Brief Review on Theoretical Emergence, Development and Practical Application in Discourse Studies

Lexical Cohesion: A Brief Review on Theoretical Emergence, Development and Practical Application in Discourse Studies Zubairu Malah Abstract Following the seminal publication of Halliday and Hasan’s Cohesion in English (1976), lexical cohesion became a major source of prolific inquiries among discourse analysts. Through the decades, this field of research has made tremendous advances in terms of newer frameworks and the data being explored. Lexical cohesion studies have applied different models to investigate different registers and genres (spoken and written) and reported findings which significantly advanced knowledge on the relation between lexical resources and different properties of discourse. Adopting the review method, this paper attempts to provide a brief account on lexical cohesion as an approach to discourse analysis. It endeavors to capture some appreciable impression of description, emergence, development and practical application of lexical cohesion in discourse studies. The paper is generally structured into four major sections as: (1) emergence and nature of cohesion in discourse analysis, (2) scholarly rhetoric and debate on cohesion and textuality in discourse, (3) approaches to lexical cohesion analysis, and (4) insights from lexical cohesion studies. Therefore, this study reviews the theory of (lexical) cohesion and its significance as a field of researching discourse. It is hoped that the study would be of help to students and researchers interested in applying lexical cohesion to analyze discourse. Full Text: PDF DOI: 10.15640/ijlc.v8n2a6

Participant interaction in asynchronous learning environments: Evaluating interaction analysis methods

The purpose of this empirical study was to determine the extent to which three different objective analytical methods—sequence analysis, surface cohesion analysis, and lexical cohesion analysis—can most accurately identify specific characteristics of online interaction. Statistically significant differences were found in all points of comparison: duration of discussions, rates of participation and extent of interaction. Sequence analysis over-reports the duration of discussions but consistently under-reports both participation rates and the extent of participant interaction. Surface cohesion analysis accurately reports discussion duration and participation rates but under-reports the extent and nature of interaction between participants. Lexical cohesion analysis accurately reports all three characteristics and also reflects the integrated nature of participant interaction. The findings support the recommendation that at least a surface cohesion analysis and preferably a lexical cohesion analysis be conducted prior to engaging in a thematic analysis of discussion content. Surface and lexical cohesion analyses reveal the central role of the instructor in online discussions and have implications for course design and delivery.

Lexical Cohesion Analysis of Political Speech

This article presents a novel automatic method of text analysis aimed at discovering patterns of lexical cohesion in political speech. The unit of analysis are groups of words with related meanings; the software is based on the results of a multiperson annotation experiment that captures reliably identified connections between words in a text. We illustrate the advantages of such a representation by juxtaposing results of a detailed hand-made analysis of Margaret Thatcher's rhetoric with analysis based on the automatically detected groups of words. We both corroborate previous findings regarding Thatcher's rhetorical tools and illuminate additional elements thereof. We suggest that lexical cohesion analysis is a promising technique to bridge the gap between quantitative and qualitative analyses of text as political material, by establishing units that are both robust enough to enable comprehensive coverage and coherent enough to support direct interpretation.
