The Analysis Of The Typical Lexical Cohesion In News Text

This paper mainly analyzes the typical lexical cohesion in news texts with the theory of Halliday&Hasan and Hu Zhuanglin.It’s mainly from the following several aspects:Firstly,the elements of the news text and the two common structures. Textual cohesion and coherence and the structure of the text is closely indivisible.Only understanding the elements and the common structure of the news text, can we understand how the elements join together to form a coherent text by lexical cohesion better.The structures of Pour pyramid and interviewing are common.when we are analyzing the two structure,we find different structure has different lexical cohesion.Secondly,some typical lexical cohesion items in news texts.After analyzing the news texts and doing statistics,we find the news text has its typical lexical cohesion items,including:the items which indicate the news source;the items which show the time;the statistics;the items which govern the boundary and so on. These items not only make the news reliable but also make the text coherent.Thirdly,the form of the lexical cohesion in the news text.at first we define and divide and theory of Halliday and Hasan again according the characteristic of the news text.Then we analyze the lexical cohesion between sentence and sentence,paragraph and paragraph.we draw a conclusion that the forms of the lexical cohesion mainly include the form of chain,jumping and flat.At last,the relationship between coherence and cohesion in the news text.this paper considers that items are not Sufficient conditions and Necessary conditions,but the cohesion plays an important role to coherence in the text. Then we analyze the affect from the semantic relevance,the topic and the context.
