Özet:

The concept of text which carries a semantic and structural integrity within the framework of modern textual linguistics studies and which is possible to be defined as “a group of speeches that have a message” has gained importance. It is essential whether textual criteria have been taken into consideration in both creating new texts and distinguishing what is text and what is not. Principally, textual grammatical criteria which have been handled within two titles called cohesion and coherence are essential for detecting whether an oral or written stuff has a textual quality or not. Particularly in the works belonging to historic Turkish dialects, the narration of the subjects handled in different geographies, sometimes in different forms, and their surpassing ahead of its time verify that textual criteria was considered in making up the texts to a great extent. Cumcumename which poses the subject of the study is a verse of masnavi which has copies in Anatolia and Chagatai areas apart from Khwarazm. Moreover, it attaches a similarity in terms of subject with its wellknown folk tale (Kesikbaş Destanı). The work’s comforming to the textual criteria and its fictititous structure facilitated the dissemination of the work, and contributed a lot to the oral tradition. The work will be studied in terms of referential cohesion which is one of textual criteria and parts of speech which are made use while providing referential cohesion will be approached according to their predecessor/independent successor/dependent qualifications in terms of co-reference, post-reference, and pre-reference. Therefore, the effect of cohesion criterion on the fluency of the work will be studied.
