3.8.4 Putting the text types into tables based on the types

After identifying the cohesive devices found in the text, tabulating each cohesive devices of each sentence is the next step. The example of the table cohesive devices which was taken from speech A was as follows: Table 3.3 Cohesive Devices Found in the Text A Number of clauses Number of devices Cohesive item Type Presupposed item 1 - - - - 2 1 One S1 Resolution 3 1 Weight L1 Weight 4 2 and it C1 R1 Preceding clause My weight 5 1 But C2 Preceding clause 6 2 And Weight C1 L1 Preceding clause Weight 7 2 Got L1 Got 8 instead of C2 Preceding clause 9 my mother L1 My mother 10 - - - - 11 1 That R2 Question 12 3 And That around C1 R2 L1 Preceding clause Question Around 13 4 so next year lift up my weight C3 L1 L1 L1 Preceding clause Next year Lift up My weight 14 2 Lift up My weight L1 L1 Lift up My weight 15 4 So It around 60kg around 70kg C3 R1 L1 L1 Preceding clause My weight Around 60kg Around 70 kg 16 - - - - 17 2 Do Maybe L1 L1 Do Maybe 18 4 And Maybe increase weight C1 L1 L1 L1 Preceding clause maybe raise Weight 19 2 and it C1 R1 Preceding clause Medicine 20 1 It R1 Medicine

3.8.5 Calculating the cohesive devices used in all the percentage of each device.

In calculating the cohesive devices in form of percentage, I used a simple formula as follows: X = � ∑� x 100 Where X = the percentage of cohesive devices in the text N = the number of each types of cohesive devices ∑N = the total number of cohesive devices The example calculating the cohesive devices in percentage: Table 3.4 The Calculation of Cohesive Devices Found in the Speeches No. Type of Cohesion Number of Ties Percentage 1 Reference Substitution Ellipsis Conjunction 2 Lexical Cohesion Total 100

3.8.6 Interpreting the research findings

Interpreting the research findings was the last step of the data analysis. The research finding of analysis was interpreted based on the number of grammatical and lexical cohesion. After doing the interpretation, the cohesive devices found in the speeches could be clearly shown. 53 CHAPTER IV FINDINGS AND DISCUSSIONS This chapter presents the findings of the research about cohesive devices found in the third semester students’ speeches of Unnes. It includes the general description, findings, and discussion of the findings.
