Abstract
In this paper, an attempt is made to scrutinize Shakespeare’s use of temporal correlatives as a means to foreground the theme of time in a number of his sonnets. It too endeavours to prove that these cohesive ties have much to do not only with highlighting the theme of the sonnets but also with their textual structure and logical organization. To address this issue, a textual analysis is aimed at to present first the theme of each of the selected sonnets separately, then the focus will be shifted to uncover the patterns of correlation stylistically created to organize the thoughts and arguments in the sonnets. Following that is an application of Halliday’s (1985) approach to cohesion system and clause relations. Besides, the paper shows how these devices have been depicted when translated into Arabic by three well-known Arab translators. Hence, each Arabic translation of the selected sonnets is analysed in terms of the choice of the Arabic equivalents that replace the English temporal correlative conjunctions.
