Abstract

There is no doubt that texts are one of the significant vehicles providing communication among people. Unlike the traditional knowledge, texts are not only considered as written. Every item maintaining the communication can be regarded as text. Not only a small hand sign can be regarded as text but also a book consisting of hundreds of pages as well can be accepted as text. Considering the written texts, although some texts are composed of a few sentences, others, however, are composed of hundreds of pages. Therefore, belles-lettres as well is one of text examples. More than that, in the formation of long written texts, thematic progression has been a debatable issue for centuries.In this paper, thematic progression is dealt with and tried to be explained with short story examples taken from Aziz Nesin and O. Wilde.

Tekstler, şüphesiz ki insanlar arasında iletişimi sağlayan önemli araçlardan biri olagelmiştir. Bilinenin aksine, tekstler yalnızca yazılı olarak kabul edilmezler. İletişimi sağlayan her unsur tekst olarak kabul edilebilir. Sadece küçük bir el hareketi değil aynı zamanda yüzlerce sayfadan oluşan bir kitap da tekst olarak kabul edilir. Yazılı tekstler göz önüne alındığında, bazı tekstler birkaç cümleden oluşmasına rağmen bazılar ise yüzlerce sayfadan oluşur. Bundan dolayı, edebî eserler de birer tekst örnekleridir. Bunun yanı sıra, yazılı uzun tekstlerin oluşumunda, tematik ilerleme de yüzyıllarca süregelen bir tartışma konusu olmuştur.Bu makalede tematik ilerleme, Aziz Nesin ve Oscar Wilde’dan alınan kısa öyküler incelenerek açıklanmaya çalışılmıştır.
