Abstract

By using cohesion devices such as reference, ellipsis, substitutions, lexical cohesion, or conjunction, this study is intended to analyze the textual interpretations which correspond to selected high cohesion texts whether they carry the comprehension of reading or not. The textual interpretations from which two stated meaning questions and two implied meaning questions correspond to the text have been analysed by descriptive qualitative method. Firstly, the comprehension of the stated meaning questions is drawn from the abundant semantic ties carrying semantic integration in the text. It also inserts relational coherence situated in closer to text based. Secondly, the comprehension of the implied meaning questions is described as the abundant semantic ties carrying semantic integration and occupies relational coherence in the microstructure of text. Therefore, the comprehension of reading is composed of abundant semantic ties leading to semantic integration and relational coherence situated in closer to text based and microstructure of text on the high selected cohesion texts in this study.
