Investigating lexical patterning in samplesof Dylan Thomas’s poetryin terms of Ruqaiya Hasan's Sense Relation model : a semantico-stylistic study

الملخص EN

The present study aims to study Dylan Thomas's usage of sense relations.

It also aims to analyse the lexical cohesion (sense relations) in terms of Ruqaiya Hasan‟s Model (1989) and observe whether there is any relationship between the lexical patterning and the literary analysis of the poems.

The study consists of two sections, theoretical and practical.

The theoretical part of the study contains several sub-sections concerning cohesion and the adopted model.

As far as the practical part is concerned, the researcher analyses the two poems of Dylan Thomas‟ poetry, “Especially When the October Wind (1933)” and “There was a Saviour (1940)”.
