The Textual Threshold and Its Impact on Textual Cohesion: Qadīsha as a Model

Abstract

The novel Qadīsha is a literary work by the author Rabah Zrif, in which he expresses the intangible heritage of the Awlad Draj through narrative and dialogue, depicting the lives of a group of characters who operate within a specific social framework defined by time and place (the Eastern Hedna). The Awlad Draj throne forms the backdrop from which he draws upon his deeply held convictions, transforming them into artistic structures and a remarkable narrative stance. The theme of communication is among the topics that modern linguistic research has given great importance to, aiming to understand its nature, the way it occurs, and the mechanisms it relies on in the process of conveying meaning.
