The aim of the study was to analyse the relations of cohesion in Emil Zola's Nana. First, we provide an outline of essential terms referring to the notions of „coherence” and „cohesion” (after Halliday and Hasan in Cohesion in English). This has been the basis for a discussion of the cohesive phenomena best represented in the analysed novel, i.e. diaphoric relations – anaphoras and cataphoras – with respect to various criteria. Most of the terms that have been used come from Marek Kęsik's La cataphore. In order to ensure their comprehensibility, the terms have been illustrated with examples taken from Zola's novel. Thus, we have distinguished two groups of anaphoric expressions: pronominal and nominal anaphoras, the latter subdivided into „faithful” and „unfaithful”, possessive and associative (the last, very interesting case has led us to specify different types). Next, we have presented epithetic, nominal, indirect anaphoras and anaphoras sensu lato. Cataphoras have been classified as indirect, sensu stricto or sensu lato.
