Cohesive devices are sorted into two types by Halliday and Hasan: lexical cohesion(repetition, synonymy and collocation) and grammatical cohesion(reference, ellipsis, substitution and conjunction). The present thesis intends to render insight into the internal structure of Hemingway's world-famous novel The Old Man and the Sea from a discourse-stylistic perspective by analyzing both the grammatical and lexical cohesive devices employed in it. Additionally, the thesis will consider the relationship between the employment of cohesive devices in Hemingway's classic profound language techniques and his gist of heroism that encompasses a trinity of roles ——Saint, Hero and Father.展开更多
