The analysis has been carried out on newsarticle “The Pleasure of Reading” by Zubeda Mustafa published in one of the famousnewspaper- Dawn news.Halliday and Hasan’s(1976) framework was applied for thecohesion analysis. Halliday and Hasan (1976) provided the concepts of referencing,ellipsis, conjunction, substitution and lexical cohesion which have been analyzed in thepresent study. The study establishes the fact that all the above mentioned cohesiveelements are exploited in the text which have ultimately contributed to clarify theoverall meanings of the text by binding it in a more organized way.
