Abstract
This study aims to analyze the novel text in order to identify the elements of cohesion in the text: which type of grammatical cohesion is the most essential contribution to the structure and to identify whether this type is effective or not. Text within text is formed when it has cohesion characteristics. Beyond the apparent grammatical structure of the text, semantic cohesion is the most important principle and criterion of textuality to be in another sentence. Halliday and Hassan (1976) generally identified four different types of grammatical cohesion: indicative, pronoun, deviation, and freezing. Cohesion means a textual element which is dependent on another element can be referred to in the text. That is, cohesion occurs where the interpretation of some elements in the text depends on the interpretation of another element. One presupposes the other, in the sense that it cannot be effectively decoded except by recourse to it.
