Abstract

A text, as distinct from a sentence, can be defined as a literal use of language. Text is the unit of communication, and for a piece of language to be a text, it must be produces for a communicative purpose. Every sentence in the text is loaded with communicative tools such as transferring information, conveying attitudes or feelings, presenting facts. Seven standards of textuality which are cohesion and coherence as a text oriented and acceptability, informativity, situationality, intentionality and intertextuality as a context oriented that helps to conduct this purpose. A text is considered as a communicative if it meets these properties otherwise it called non-text. (Widdowson, 2007). In this study, how the meaning of a short story is built through seven textuality standards is explained. Thus, "The Tell-Tale Heart" which had been written by Edgar Allan Poe is analysed in this research within the context of the seven textuality requirements. In this research qualitative research method conducted to explain the standards in the text. In the research, the text was examined in detail first in terms of cohesion and then in terms of coherence. In addition, the text was examined in detail according to other criteria. As a result of the examinations, it has been observed that the examined text complies with the properties of both cohesive and coherence.
