O knihe

This book is about how coherence is constructed in English and Arabic. Coherence is seen as an umbrella term that covers the unity of the text including both macrostructures manifested in patterns of text organization, and microstructures represented by cohesive ties. It comprises everything which helps to hold the text together and thereby encourages us to perceive it as "a whole". The book tries to provide a relatively new approach to the analysis of coherence with regard to patterns of text organization. The study is an attempt to contribute to the understanding of the relationship between patterns of macrostructures and microstructures. It also investigates the adequacy of their contribution to the construction of coherence in English and Arabic written texts. The data chosen to be analyzed are a sample of equal amounts of randomly chosen articles collected from both English and Arabic weekly magazines. Time International and Newsweek are chosen to represent American-English magazine writing, whereas Rose El Youssef and October are taken to represent Egyptian-Arabic magazine writing.
