The Literary Discourse in the Usage of Cohesion
Main Article Content
Abstract
This article explores the peculiarities of literary discourse in implementing cohesion in “The Martian Chronicles” by Ray Bradbury. It examines how cohesive devices, such as lexical repetition, conjunctions, references, and thematic continuity are used to create unity across the collection of interconnected stories. The analysis focuses on Bradbury’s unique narrative style, including his use of temporal shifts, symbolism, and recurring motifs, which bind the episodic structure into a cohesive whole. By investigating these linguistic and narrative techniques, the research highlights how cohesion enhances the reader’s understanding of central themes like colonization, nostalgia, and the conflict between humanity and technology. This study contributes to a deeper appreciation of Bradbury’s work and demonstrates the role of cohesive devices in shaping literary discourse.
