Abstract

This COHESIVE DEVICES have prominent role in the text because they provide surface evidence for the text unity and express the continuity that exists between one part of a linguistic form and the other. The present study aims at investigating COHESIVE DEVICES in literary texts. In doing so, the third chapter is culled from the Gulistan of Sadi (one of the greatest Iranian poets) and is compared with its four English TRANSLATION versions done by Edwin Arnold (1899), James Ross (1890), Edward Rehatsek (1964), and Backhouse Eastwick (1952). This study adopts the taxonomy of COHESIVE DEVICES put forward by Halliday and Hassan (1976) to set up relationships within a text. They make a detailed classification of cohesion in English. The headings are reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction, and LEXICAL COHESION, which are investigated to determine whether there are any relationships between frequency of COHESIVE DEVICES of the original text and its TRANSLATION versions. To do so, the devices were first identified in the original text and then compared with each other in terms of number of OCCURRENCEs in the TRANSLATION versions. The results reveal that there are differences in the frequency of COHESIVE DEVICES in the Persian (original) text and that of English TRANSLATION versions. Each of these texts utilizes one of the devices more frequently which is indicative of the different nature of the two languages under investigation. These results can be used in TRANSLATION teaching, TRANSLATION criticism, and evaluation.
