Abstract

This thesis aims at analyzing the main devices of cohesion and coherence in English and Chinese, finding out their differences and similarities and their influence on translation theory and practice. Cohesion and coherence is the core of context. This thesis is based on five cohesive devices proposed by Halliday and Hasan in their book Cohesion in English. Through study on Jane Austin’s Pride and Prejudice and its translation by Sun Zhili, it sums up how to translate cohesive devices in English into those in Chinese. Then their translating methods will be suggested respectively. This thesis is generally going to be developed in the following parts: First, it will in brief present five cohesive devices of English proposed by Halliday and Hasan couple. Second, some main cohesive devices of Chinese are to be introduced based on cohesive theory come up with by Hu Zhuanglin. Third, it is to give a brief introduction of basic features of and differences between English and Chinese. Last and foremost, Pride and Prejudice and its Chinese version will be studied and analyzed as main linguistic material, thus comparing differences and similarities of the two languages in cohesive devices.

Chapter 1 Introduction
Before we come to cohesion, another linguistic term should be first introduced, i.e. text. “The word TEXT is used in linguistics to refer to any passage, spoken or written, of whatever length, that does form a unified whole. [1]” defined M. A. K. Halliday in his Cohesion in English. Halliday is one of the founders of system-functional linguistics which attaches great importance to discourse level. The discourse analysis is the characteristic of the systematic linguistics. It seeks verification of its hypothesis by means of observation from texts and by means of statistical techniques. The significance of text in many aspects of linguistic study has been increasingly recognized by linguists of various schools.
