The Theory of Cohesion and Cohesive Harmony and The usage of it in a minimal story: The Tale of a Ladder

The cohesion and the coherence of a text are the aspects that are always considered by analysts of texts. In this research, we are to investigate cohesion, cohesive harmony, coherence and also usage of this theory in a minimal Persian story based on Halliday and Hasan's theory that has been completed by Hasan and Halliday in 1985 and the concept of "cohesive harmony" introduced by Hasan in 1984. Using this theory, we concluded that by knowing this new method of cohesion and cohesive harmony, it is possible to use it in any literary and non-literary texts; especially by the cohesive harmony we can compare the quantitative degree of cohesion and coherence of texts.
