Non-Structural, grammatical coherence in Sermon 175 of Nahjolbalaghah and its Translations (Case Study: Translations by Jafari, Shahidi and Faqihi)

Coherence is a topic in linguistics which analyzes different texts according to their structure and meaning. Coherence lies in the tools of the linguistic system such as reference, omission, replacement and conjunction, which lie inside language itself. The present paper adopts an analytical-descriptive approach to the issue of non-structural grammatical constituents in the text of Sermon 175 of Nahjolbalahagah and the translations by Jafari, Shahidi and Faqihi. The results show that among the aforementioned constituents, Faqihi is closer to the original text and manages to show the coherence in the original text in his translation. Notwithstanding, it was observed that the translators have made some mistakes due to the influences such as their style and the linguistic-grammatical possibilities of their language.
