Research Abstract

This text-linguistic study aims at analyzing the lexicogrammatical, semantic and semiotic cohesion in one of the Quranic chapters, namely /?an-naba?/ 'the news'. It applies Jin Soon Cha's (1985) Extended Systemic Cohesive Model to the analysis of cohesion in that Quranic chapter to see how far that model is helpful in explaining cohesion in the Holy Quran. Section (1) introduces the cohesive model that will be applied. Section (2) applies the lexicogrammatical, semantic and semiotic components of the model to the selected chapter. Section (3) summarizes the main findings of the study.
