2.3 Relevant of Study
In order to support the ideas of the analysis, some books had been consulted that contains some important information related to the analysis based on the
sociolinguistic. Some of the related analysis are as follows:
Universitas Sumatera Utara
1. Halliday and Hasan 1976:8 state that cohesion is a semantic relation between one element in the text and some other elements that is crucial
to the interpretation of it. The location of these some other elements in the text are no way determined by grammatical structure. The two
elements, the presupposing and the presupposed, maybe structurally related to each other, or they may not; it makes no difference to the
meaning of cohesive relation. 2. Bloor 1995 which is not much different to Halliday and Hasan’s,
explains about cohesive ties in texts. He classified cohesion into four main types: reference, ellipsis and lexical cohesion. He further explains
the relationship between grammar and text. A text has textual components of the grammar, lexical cohesion is a part of cohesive
components. 3. Gutwinsky 1976:26 in Tarigan state that, “Kohesi merupakan organisasi
sintaktik, merupakan wadah kalimat-kalimat disusun secara padu dan dapat untuk menghasilkan tuturan. Juga kohesi adalah hubungan antar
kalimat didalam wacana, baik dalam strata gramatikal maupun strata leksikal tertentu.”
I also consult some thesis that relevant to my analysis, they are: 1. Whardhani Irma 1997 has also analyzed the text of the discourse in
Minangkabau Traditional Wedding Ceremony in terms of cohesive ties encompassing grammatical cohesion reference, substitution and ellipsis,
lexical cohesion re-iteration and collocation and conjunction additive,

adversative, clausal and temporal. She found that all the cohesive ties occur in the text especially grammatical cohesion reference and lexical
cohesion. 2. Novayanti 1994 has analyzed that cohesive analysis; especially the
reference is applicable to the analysis of scientific texts. She analyzed the cohesion in discourse; reference, substitution, ellipsis, conjunction and
lexical cohesion in discourse, and found that reference, as one type of cohesion exists in different types of text, such as narrative, poetic and even
scientific text..
