Abstract

Literary texts, which require special or unusual language, play an important role in language teaching. They have the traces of the real socio-cultural world surrounding them while they represent a fictional world. In these texts the most used words in daily life are sampled because they reflect human life. Short stories are appropriate to be used in language teaching because of their structural, linguistic properties and shortness. They have a powerful function in raising moral and ethical values in the classroom. Short fiction is a supreme resource for observing not only language but also life itself. Literary texts cannot be analyzed in first reading and they require a close reading from visible surface structure to invisible deep structure. While analyzing a short story through textlinguistic analysis method students reach the meanings in the deep structure of the text through lexical and grammatical elements on its surface structure. They learn words in their context and acquire grammatical knowledge in detail. They can actively use language and improve their abilities to produce and interpret text. In this study, as a sample, Eveline by Joyce will be analyzed through basic standards of the textuality, ‘cohesion and coherence’.
