Interpretation of literary

V. Cohesion and integration of the text. 
The text consists of two fragments but their logical coherence is 
ensured by the common theme and consecutive order of events. 
Analysing the first fragment we can state, that although the writer 
doesn't Use any lexical or grammatic means of linkage between separate 
paragraphs, 
their 
organic 
cohesion 
is 
evident. 
However 
the 
chronological order of narration is violated in the second paragraph. The 
author describes the contemporary state of the university at the time of 
writing the novel {1923} and then returns to 1904, when Martin was a 
third-year student. That becomes a certain obstacle in the realization of 
the category of cohesion. 
The development of the main theme through a number of 
subthemes and minute patricular themes creates intratextual connections 
playing text-forming function-s. Thus if we consider Martin's university 

---

88 
days as the main theme of our micro-text and the character-sketches of 
professor Edward Edwards and Fatty Pfaff and the description of the 
boarding-house as the sub-themes, then the realization of the main 
theme through the development of the subthemcs in separate paragraphs 
creates intratextual connections which integrate the independent spans of 
the text into a single unity. 
Such intratextual connections arc not always expressed by tra-
ditional conjunctional words or temporal (e.g. A few days later) and 
spatial (e.g. Not far from ...) indicators. They can also be realized 
through the chosen contiguous position of paragraphs in case it ensures 
the onward movement of the narration logically developing the plot. 
Such is the case of expressing linkage in our text. The recurrent use of 
the key words: Winncmac, University, Martin, Digamma Pi etc also 
contributes to the cohesion arid integration of the text.
