So, it is not impossible that a cohesive text will draw on the zig-zag strategy and the multiple-Theme strategy. As, Eggins1994:305 states that
written text will in general use Thematic progression strategy more frequently. Thus, both zig-zag and the multiple-Theme pattern will be
common.
F. Cohesion
Cohesion is the area of discourse competence most closely associated with linguistic competence Halliday and Hasan, 1989. It deals with the bottom up
elements that help generate texts, counting for how pronoun, demonstrative, articles, and other markers signal textual co-reference in written and oral
discourse. Cohesion also accounts for how conventions of substitutions and ellipsis allow speakerswriters to indicate co-classifications and to avoid
unnecessary repetition.
G. Coherence
Besides cohesion, there is another phenomenon of connectedness, namely coherence. Lyons 1995:263-264 proposes that the distinction between cohesion
and coherence has to do with the difference between form and content. As maintained by Eggins 1994:87, there are two properties by which clauses could
hang together in one unity, namely cohesion and coherence. She also adds that cohesion is the internal property of a paragraph, while coherence is contextual
properties of it. Coherence is a matter rather than of form. According to Celce- Murcia and Olshtain 2000:8, coherence contributes to the unity of a piece of
discourse such that the individual sentences or utterances hang together and relate
to each other. Coherence as: kepaduan atau kekompakan hubungan antara kalimat yang satu dengan yang lain dalam sebuah paragraph the unity or
cohesiveness of connection between one sentence and another in a paragraph Soedjito and Hasan :1994. Whereas, Celce-Murcia and Olshtain 2000:8 stated
that coherence depends on: the presence of linguistic devices that strengthen global unity; the patterns and strategies of text development that are very
culturally specific; and the presence of a conventional scheme or organization that is recognizable as generic or specific to a particular communicative purpose and
discourse community.
