Nghiên Cứu Về Tổ Chức Đề Thuyết Và Các Mối Liên Kết Trong Truyện Ngắn Chiếc Lá Cuối Cùng Của O Henry​

This study is an attempt to apply systemic functional grammar to investigating a short story “The Last Leaf” by O‟Henry in terms of the theme – rheme structure and cohesive ties. Based on the theory of systemic functional grammar as developed by Halliday, the study focuses on the analysis of O‟Henry‟s story “The Last Leaf” in terms of the textual metafunction which is represented via theme - rheme pattern, and cohesion (grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion) of the text. The findings show that in terms of theme - rheme pattern, topical theme which forms unmarked one is the most striking feature of the text. We can also realize how the author develops the text and creates a surprise ending which makes the story one of O‟Henry‟s masterpiece. Moreover, grammatical cohesion represented by reference and conjunctive devices and lexical cohesion shown via repetition, synonyms, meronyms and antonyms make the text more cohesive and coherent. The analysis proves that systemic functional grammar is the smartest choice for those whose concern is for the structure and meaning of a particular text.
