This research aims to study and compare the cohesion-coherence of proverbs related to woman inAmsal-O-Hekam and Kouche. The framework of analysis is textual metafunction in Halliday-Matthiessen’s Model. The method consists of both qualitative and quantitative approach, extracted from cohesive-coherent devices and figuring out the correlation between the number of words and cohesive devices based on Pearson Correlation, Chi-square and Median tests. The results show that both lexical and grammatical devices are used but their distribution is different; there are no cohesive devices in 18.83% of Kouche and in 31.47% of Amsal-O-Hekam, in which, cohesion-coherence is related to coherence not cohesion; Pearson test shows there is a higher correlation between the number of cohesive devices and words in Amsal-O-Hekam in comparison with Kouche, but both are statistically significant (p˂0/01).This shows proverbial discourse makes a continuum with two ends. In one end there is minimalityand in the other end, maximality.
