In this book, Dickens's Hard Times is thoroughly studied in terms of two types of cohesion: non linguistic and linguistic cohesion. As a result, it is demonstrated that the two kinds operate together to build up the novel coherence. Also, it is obtained that the novel non-linguistic cohesion is essentially realized via its linguistic cohesion. Thus, this corroborates the notion of cohesion as a main factor for coherence as the present study model of analysis proposes and this presents an objective view in this regard.

In this book, Dickens's Hard Times is thoroughly studied in terms of two types of cohesion: non linguistic and linguistic cohesion. As a result, it is demonstrated that the two kinds operate together to build up the novel coherence. Also, it is obtained that the novel non-linguistic cohesion is essentially realized via its linguistic cohesion. Thus, this corroborates the notion of cohesion as a main factor for coherence as the present study model of analysis proposes and this presents an objective view in this regard.
