This paper is an attempt to concentrate on two strategies which constitute text coherence, viz , local and global .These two strategies enable the reader to reach at good understanding for the text .By following the strategies suggested in this paper, the reader is supposed to easily point out the hidden relations in any text.

A whole new subdiscipline has developed in recent years called psycholinguistics . This can be seen as the intersection between psychology and linguistics. It has also some relation with logic and the philosophy of language . It links also with neurolinguistics ( the study of the neurological basis for language) . The above discipline tries to show the relation between throught , mind and language. The conception of the relationship of thought , language and speech is clearly a mentalistic one . A ccording to that conception , a person is regarded as having mind that is distinct from that person's body . Body and mind are seen as interacting with one another.
In this work , we try to reflect the different views about Chomsky's belief that a sizeable part of early linguistic learning comes from an innately specified language ability in human beings , and that the role of the environment and the like effects is no more than activating this process of language acquisition .
Also, Chomsky's other belief ( acquisition of even the barest rudiments of language is quite beyond the capacities of any other wise and intelligent ape ) will be criticized by psycholinguists owing to the obvious capacities of the trained chimpanzees to cope with some signs of language.
More points are going to be discussed in the following pages beginning with "Chomsky and mentalism" and ending with some views that stand with or against the question of innateness.

It is generally known that politics is an important theme of George Orwell's (1903-1950). His literary writing is influenced by different political and social changes of his time. As a political thinker, his novels reveal political and social problems that caused the social and political upheavals of his time. He seeks for a political theory that may enrich the society with ideal thoughts. This research aims at showing the political theory as reflected in Animal Farm . It is divided into three sections. Section one illustrates Animal Farm as a novel. Section two shows Animal Farm as a political allegory and section three explains the political views found in Animal Farm. Finally a conclusion that sums up the findings of this research.

Logically , the past is the foundation on which the present is erected. So ,it is useful to know something about the history of the English teaching materials which were used in Iraq in the previous historical eras.

This interest came from an article wrote by Al – Hamash on IDELTI Journal (4) in 1975. Al – Hamash mentions that a great deal of dissatisfaction with the result of teaching English in Iraq is attributed to the textbooks used. This article made the researcher curious and eager to know something about the syllabuses used at that time. Therefore , the efforts were made to delve deeply in the history for this purpose.

To trace the history of the Iraqi syllabuses from the year 1873 A.D. to 2003 A.D. is something uneasy nowadays due to the present situation engendering from the American occupation ; the situation is insecure which limits the action of any researcher , most of the documents were looted or burned , and the devastation is everywhere in the state institutions. All these have their impression.
