"التَّماسُكُ النَّصِّيُّ فِي المجمُوعَاتِ الْقَصصية لِسَنَاء الشَّعلَان"

After contemporary textual and linguistic studies focused for a period on the sentence in terms of its structure, syntax, and other levels, which they considered the largest linguistic unit, researchers discovered that the sentence was no longer sufficient for all matters of linguistic description. It was necessary to adopt a broader level of analysis, namely, "the text." Then the topic of "textual cohesion" emerged, which has received considerable attention in textual studies and among text scholars, especially since it is based on linguistic and non-linguistic links. It achieves strong cohesion between textual parts through a set of tools, including formal consistency, which includes grammatical, lexical, and phonological issues, and semantic cohesion, which includes semantic contextual issues. Our study is titled "Textual Cohesion in Sanaa Al-Shaalan's Short Story Collections." This study explores the aesthetics of prose texts through short story collections, determining the extent of cohesion of these prose texts, and demonstrating the impact of both consistency and cohesion in shaping the writer's prose vision. The most important aspect of this study is revealing the aesthetics of prose narrative texts through Study and analyze them grammatically and semantically to arrive at the overall coherence of the short story collections by analyzing selected examples from them.
