چکیده:
According to the discoursal view of language, any move or variation in the
textualization process is considered to be discoursally motivated. The present
paper would focus on the lexicalization as one dimension of this textualization
process and examine the lexical strategies employed by discourse producer. The
paper would take a specific piece of text (a short story by Poe) as its data and
look at the way lexical choices attempted there and the lexical networks
produced thereby would contribute to the texture of the text, affect its
cognition, and enhance its intended literary value. It would also discuss the
cognitive value of the lexical strategies and the interaction among the lexical
chains in a text drawing implications for the pedagogy of language.
خلاصه ماشینی:
In the case of our data, we can argue that the more the semantic and physical distance between the nodes of a lexical chain, the longer its perception, and the stronger the aesthetic effect of the text.
This direct interaction creates a cognitive effect on the reader and, one would presume, activates his or her discourse comprehension process leading to a better understanding and negotiation of the central theme of the story (Figure 8).
In this way they have interactions with the members of the second (field of time) and the sixth (field of place/location) semantic fields and function as the chain which activates the scene in the mind of the reader; and in this way it develops and reinforces the theme of the story in the reader''''s cognitive system.
As mentioned earlier, in this examination, the text will be analysed in terms of the lexical chains and interrelations among them in order to describe the hidden patterns which, we argue, would contribute to the cognitive and aesthetic effect of the text, as well as to the development of the theme of the story which is disintegrating effect of fear and the resulting depression of soul.
These nine semantic fields, especially the first one, the distribution of TEXTURE AND LEXICAL CHAINS It has been argued that in discourse analysis we deal with text as the unit of communication rather than with individual sentences.
The present paper will focus on lexical cohesion and look at the way the lexical choices made by the discourse producer within the boundary of a text would create lexical chains and how such chains would be cognitively functional in the textual processing.
