Abstract:

 The research aims to explore the grammatical mechanisms that achieve cohesion in text surface structure, their impact on achieving textual coherence, and the meanings resulting from the interactions of these mechanisms in Surat Noah. These mechanisms are reference, conjunction, and ellipses. The research must go beyond the sentence framework analysis to achieve its aim. It seeks a higher-level text framework analysis that represents the overall meaning. Then it analyzes the general purpose into its minor elements and their relation. The research comes to some conclusions, the most important of which may be that textual analysis has shown the importance of grammatical cohesion in constructing the text and achieving its textuality. Pronouns constitute the most referential elements mentioned in the surah, and they have a clear role in linking the text elements to each other, making the text a single structure. Conjunction tools distributed in the surah contribute to achieving the sequence of ideas and consistency. As for ellipses, although it is infrequent, their use is well-invested in expanding potential meanings, besides achieving coherence.

 Bu araştırma, metnin yüzeysel yapısındaki dil bilgisi üzerinde duran bağlantıyı gerçekleştiren mekanizmaları ve bu mekanizmaların metinsel tutarlılığı gerçekleştirmesindeki etkisinin boyutunu, Nuh Suresindeki oluşumlarından kaynaklanan semantikleri ortaya çıkarmayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu mekanizmalar referans, bağlama ve hazf üzerinde temsil edilmiş olup; bu amaca ulaşmak için analizde son bir çerçeve olarak cümle analizi çerçevesi aşmaya çalışılmıştır. Hatta cümle analizinden çıkarak bu araştırma, daha geniş bir düzeyde, bütünsel anlamı temsil eden metin düzeyinde analize, sonra en küçük parçalarının analizine ve birbirleriyle olan ilişkilerine yönelmiştir. Bu araştırma; metin analizinin, metnin inşasında, anlaşılmasında ve metinselliğini gerçekleştirmede kendi aralarında kümeleşen dil bilgisel kalıbın araçlarının öneminin boyutunu açığa çıkardığı sonucuna varmıştır. Örnek surede zamirler en çok referans alan unsurları oluşturmuştur. Zamirlerin, metnin unsurlarını birbirine bağlamada açık bir rolü olmuş ve metni sağlam tek bir doku haline getirmiştir. Ayrıca; atıf edatları da bir yandan fikirlerin teselsülüne ve metnin bütünlüğüne, bir yandan da -tutarlılığı temin edecek şekilde- metnin içerisinde dağılan parçalarının kalıba dökülmesine katkıda bulunmuştur. Suredeki hazf olgusu ise az da birçok anlamın olabilirliğinde ve anlamı genişletmekte işlerliği kesin ve faydalı olmuştur.
