Textual linguistic analysis of Feyzi Ersoy's novel named 'Bir Kitaba Tutuldum'

Language is a vast field that has the ability to express every emotion, thought, situation and event in the World. Subjects, events and situations expressed in this endless field can be expressed through words, sentences and supra-sentential units, respectively. Bringing these linguistic units together can become a text, provided that grammatical and semantic relationships are established correctly. While the text, which is the material of linguistics and text linguistics, one of its important sub-branches, is examined from a linguistic perspective, it is evaluated in terms of 7 criteria of being a text: cohesion, coherence, acceptability, intentionality, informativity, situationality and intertextuality. In this study, Prof. Dr. Feyzi Ersoy's novel titled 'Bir Kitaba Tutuldum' was discussed in terms of the principles of 'cohesion' and 'coherence'. In the first chapter, the concept of cohesion, which deals with the grammatical relationships in the surface structure of the text, is explained and the concept of cohesion is discussed under 5 separate headings. Each topic discussed was interpreted through examples and the extent to which the principle of coherence was achieved was evaluated. In the second part, the concept of consistency, which focuses on the relationships in the deep structure of the text, is explained and the text; It was discussed in terms of event-based topic order, time and place focus, language and style, and intertextuality markers. In this context, the coherence of the evaluated text has been discussed. This study will contribute to the field of text linguistics and other researchers who will study similar subjects.
