Abstract

Ode is a verse-form wich has coherent frame; consist of four parts: lyricism, preparing for eulogy, eulogy, prayer; each part is related to the next part in meaning. Connecting the parts with their next part is necessary and the poet makes the speech connected consciously, but we wonder if in his mind, the parts wich are far from each other, are also related and coherent?

Studing Abd-al-Vase’ Jabali’s odes, 6th century A.H. poet, shows that in some odes, the last part (prayer) is connected in meaning with the first part (lyricism); in other words, associations send back the readership’s minds to the beginning of the poem so that makes the ode wholly coherent. Lexical cohesion is a way to creat a coheret text, consists of: Collocation, Synonymy, Antonymy, Repetition, Hyponymy and Meronymy. The relationship between these items constructs cohesive chains. The frequency of each item and methods of chain’s construction and expanding them in the whole text is a stylistics item wich helps the researcher to find out the stylistic index of works. This research indicates the function of these items in long chains to connect the beginning of the odes to their ending and to creat the coherent text, by giving examples from Jabali’s divan.
