المستخلص: The purpose of this study is to examine and investigate the relative frequency of grammatical cohesive devices in Hemingway's famous-world novel The Old Man and the Sea. Cohesion is normally defined as the use of grammatical and lexical devices to guarantee text integrity. It gives the quality of wholeness and unity to a text. Cohesion occurs where the interpretation of certain elements in the discourse is dependent on that of the other. The one presupposes the other in the sense that it can only be effectively decoded by recourse to it thus establishing the relationship of cohesion between the two elements, that is, presupposing and the presupposed. (Halliday & Hasan, 1976, p. 4) Having analyzed grammatical cohesion, the findings indicate that the use of grammatical cohesive devices and their function as a cohesive linking in different discourses may help unfold the hidden implications of the writing style. The thesis attempts to combine a discourse-stylistic approach to the cohesive devices and the novella under analysis. It also aims to reveal that examining the language of a literary text could be a means to a fuller understanding and appreciation of the writer's artistic achievement as well. The novel is the best illustration of Ernest Hemingway's ''powerful style-forming mastery of the art of writing modern fiction" (McGowan, 2011, p. 95) and is also earned him the Pulitzer Prize in 1953 for fiction and the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1954. The novella, meanwhile, is a final summary of Hemingway's language techniques and artistic features; his implicit and profound thoughts – "grace under pressure" embodied in the story are well displayed in the simple, colloquial and concise language.
