Abstract

Discourse coherence involves a multistrand phenomenon that is perpetually aided with connective elements to build a narrative. The paper explores the cohesive units that help in the formation of narrative context, thereby making them compelling and worth reading or listening to. Folk narratives consist of inclusive information that builds up the social identity of a community. In this, the cultural knowledge and community wisdom of natives play an important role in the decoding and meaning-making tales to inquire about the cohesive formation at sentence and process. The study analyses extracts collected from Dogri folk discourse level. To find out the importance of language creativity and contextual signals, the proposals of T. Givón, Bruce Fraser and George Yule are taken into consideration. The findings illustrate the active use of cohesive binders in Dogri tales. Also, the mechanisms work in varied forms to build a lucid discourse. This case study of regional tales can help popularise the culture of vulnerable societies and share the Indigenous wisdom embedded in their folk tales globally.
