4. Counting the number of cohesive items which have been coded in
percentages. The purpose of this step is to find what kind of grammatical cohesion mostly existed in a passage and to count each kind of grammatical
cohesion found into percentages using a simple formula explained by Anas Sudiyono:
1
P F
N X Notes:
P = the percentage of a kind of grammatical cohesion existed in a passage. F = the number of each type of grammatical cohesion existed in a passage.
N = the total number of grammatical cohesion items found in a passage.
5. Describing the result. The table of grammatical cohesion for each passage
will be explained in this step.
6. Concluding. The last step is making a conclusion from the result of the data
analysis.
