Textual cohesion in the poetry of Blend Al-Haidari Diwan (Songs of the Dead City) as a model

Abstract

The functions of textual linguistics have varied among researchers due to their interest in issues that are closely related to text construction, such as consistency, coherence, textual context, text structures and their interpretation. Among these, we find Van Dijk in his book, An

Interdisciplinary Introduction, that text linguistics: an interdisciplinary science that analyzes texts in a systematic manner, touching on textual forms and different textual structures, their conditions, functions and varying effects, everyday conversations, therapeutic talks, journalistic materials, tales, stories, intentions, advertising texts, speeches, usage instructions, school books, writings, inscriptions, legal texts, instructions and the like. Although these textual forms gain special attention in different sciences, and result in different aspects of raising issues; it is clear that the function of text linguistics is to study the text on the basis that it is the largest coherent semantic unit that performs a communicative function in a specific context and analyzes language in use.
