This research studies one of the tools that achieve cohesion in the text, which is definition and indefiniteness, as a complete structure that meets the conditions of textuality, and the work it does to make the units of the text and its sentences cohesive, and thus achieve the purpose for which the text was created to convey its purpose to the reader. The research took as a model for application the diwan of Al-Sahib ibn Abbad, who died in the year( 385 AH)This indicates that modern studies have had extended roots in our ancient Arab heritage, and that scholars of language, rhetoric, and interpretation have been aware of the issue of cohesion and have demonstrated its importance, and have even applied the standards of textual linguistics at an early time, preceding Western studies ,After defining cohesion and explaining the limits of the term among linguists and linguists, and defining Al-Sahib ibn Abbad, the research dealt with examples from the diwan of the aforementioned poet and explained the importance of definition and indefiniteness and their role in achieving cohesion in the linguistic structure of the text.

The topic of textual thresholds is one of the most important topics that has received extensive research in recent times, given their importance in identifying textual texts and unlocking their creative secrets. Thresholds constitute procedural keys that contribute to decoding the textual corpus and uncovering its connotations. Their selection reflects a conscious and influential intention on the part of the author. The title (Thraya al-Text), with all its connotations and types, intertwines with other thresholds and influences them through an effective dialogue that contributes to the interrogation of texts and enhances their significance at the level of structure, formation, and purpose. We chose the semiotic approach to approach the topic of thresholds, as it is one of the most consistent and appropriate critical approaches to approach the topic of thresholds, as it contains tools that help us understand textual signals. This research relied on many Arabic sources that enriched and established the research, including: Semiotics and Titling by Jamil Hamdaoui; The Thresholds of Jenit: From Text to Source by Abdelhak Belabed; The Theory of the Title: An Interpretive Adventure in the Affairs of the Textual Threshold by Khaled Hussein Hussein; Textual Thresholds in the Stories of Nashed Samir Al-Basha by Dr. Narjes Khalaf Asaad; The Semiotics of the Title by Bassam Musa Qatous; and the MA thesis by Ruwa Saad, entitled (Titling in the Poetry of Rushdi Al-Amel 1934-1991).

Since ancient times, humans have sought different approaches in all aspects of life to derive the most effective and accepted methods. Language, as a powerful social phenomenon and means of communication, has played a tremendous role in people's daily lives. Certainly, language possesses various styles of expression, and humans have long attempted to present the most beautiful linguistic styles in their expressions. Behind each of these different language styles are several social variables (such as age, gender, occupation, social status, etc.) that influence the type of linguistic style. Age is one of the strongest factors in creating different language styles. Human age consists of several distinct stages, each with its own unique vocabulary and linguistic expressions. These differences have resulted in the production of various linguistic styles.

Language is one of the important tools of life, in such a way that it organizes all the various relationships in human life. Without language, humans cannot fulfill their material and spiritual needs, because language is the bridge of communication between individuals. One of the factors in life that influences language is psychological effects, and these psychological influences are so prominently reflected that they have led to the emergence of a branch of linguistics called psycholinguistics. Language can produce several different linguistic styles, each of which has specific causes behind it. Language and psychology have a direct impact on each other, to the extent that we can say language is a direct reflection of the psyche and also has an effect on the psyche. This influence has led to the formation of several different linguistic styles according to the psychological aspect. In the course of the research, some of these different dimensions and aspects of speech style have been examined.
