ABSTRACT

Thesis entitled "An Analysis of Lexical Cohesion in Selected Articles of the Jakarta Globe E-Paper", is an analysis of lexical cohesion contained in the online news article as a discourse. There are five types of lexical cohesion is distinguished by Halliday and Hasan's theory, which can be identified through sentences that make up the unity in a text or discourse, and was instrumental in connecting sentences in the text consistently so that the message to be conveyed and discussed in text can be properly received by the reader. Lexical cohesion illustrates how the words in a text are related to each other in a systematic arrangement. Data analysis was taken from twelve online news articles by using the theory of Arikunto, purposive sampling, whereas the data is calculated by using the theory of Nawawi. From the discussion of the five types of lexical cohesion is found that repetition is a kind of lexical cohesion appeared most dominant (76.32%) in the text because in general a text gives an informative message written in detail and descriptive so that the repetition of a word (both the subject and object) in the common phrase. Synonymy is also found in the text as part of the variation of vocabulary (10.9%). Meronymy, which is a form of word collocation also encountered although relatively small (4.89%). Antonymy is also found in every text in this analysis (4:51%). While Hyponymy, which is very rarely found in the text, is a kind of lexical cohesion least used (3:38%).

CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION

1.1Background of the Study

Language has a great position in human life, it becomes a means of communication to utter human’s feeling in interacting to others. Language is a social phenomenon as a means of doing than knowing (Halliday and Hasan, 1976:8). By using language, human can convey their idea, make statements, explain or ask about something and keep social relations among the language users.

Sumarlam (2004:173) states that cohession is semantic relation between one element in the text and some other element that is crucial for its interpretation. This other element must also be found within the text. Cohesion refers to the range of publisities that exist for linking something with what has gone before. Without cohesion the sentence system cannot be effectively activated all.

Halliday and Hasan (1976) say that the concept of cohesion refers to relation of meaning that exists within the texts, and it is that defines it as a text. Cohesion occurs where the interpretation of some elements in the discourse is dependent on that of another. They classify cohesion into five types: reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction, and lexical cohesion.

However, cohesion can be concluded as “the means by which texts are linguistically connected” (Carter, 1998: 80). It is significant to recognise that lexical cohesion cannot exist without sentences. That is, cohesive words should be discussed not only as the meaning relations which hold between items, but also as the explicit


(18)

expression of those meaning relations within a text. Ultimately, it is necessary to consider cohesion as “a set of discourse semantic systems” (Martin, 2001: 37).

Furthermore, the meaning of cohesion (Halliday, 1994:170) refers to the sources within language that provide continuity in a text, above and over that is provided by clause structures and clause complexes. Therefore, cohesive relations are non-structural relations which help the text to be understood together.

Cohesion is thus one of the text properties that contributes to the organization of discourse. The term refers to the connectedness of the surface elements in the text. The three main categories of cohesion are

i. Referential cohesion (anaphoric chains) ii. Relational cohesion (connectives and ellipsis) iii. Lexical cohesion.

Lexical cohesion, which is the focus of this thesis, contributes to the ideational (semantic) structuring of discourse (Martin 1992). It refers to the semantic relations between the lexical items in the text; thus it provides information about the way lexemes are organized in the discourse (lexical patterning).

Lexical cohesion refers to the relationship between or among word in a text. It is concerned with the content words and primarily related to that field. The field is discovered through the content words within a text. This field tends to have specialized vocabularies and tend to engage in specialized activities. Hassan (1984:320) presents five categories of general lexical cohesion:


(19)

1. Repetition / Re-iteration (including inflection and derivation).

Repetition is the act or process instance of repeating or being repeated.

Example: Miley is in the singing contest on Sunday. Everyone believes that she will win the

2. Synonymy (similarity of meaning) singing contest

Synonymy is a word having the same or nearly the same meaning as another word or other words in a language.

For example: I am taken to the clinic – I am taken to the 3. Antonimy (opposite or contrastive meaning) .

hospital

Antonymy is a word having a meaning opposite that of another word.

For examples: Male - female

4. Hyponymy (classes / super ordination and subclasses / is a type of) season

Hyponymy is relation between two words in which the meaning of one of the words includes the meaning of another words. For example: She’ll win a trophy. The prize

5. Meronymy (whole part relation) won’t mean much to her.

Meronymy is a figure of speech in which one word or phrase is subtituted for another with which is closely. For example: Linguistics- discourse analysis, language acquisition, sociolinguistics.

The object of this study is newspaper. Newspaper is media that provides any information for people everyday. So, it is the most readable printed media compared to


(20)

other kinds of printed information such as books or magazines. In the past, newspaper was only provided in printed version. But, in this 20th century supported by the advanced technology newspaper is also provided in online version. This thesis uses online newspaper as the main object of the study because:

1. Online newspaper is the most read writing that could influence people grammatically.

2. Online newspaper is very easy to access, people are more interested to read online newspaper than printed newspaper nowdays.

“Jakarta Globe” is one of newspaper which is provided in two versions, there are printed and online version. This thesis uses the selected articles of “Jakarta Globe” Electronic paper(E-paper) as the main object of the study because:

1. ”Jakarta Globe” is one of the most well-known newspaper in Indonesia. 2. Cohesions are found in articles of “Jakarta Globe”.

3. “Jakarta Globe” is provided in online version. 4. “Jakarta Globe” is written in English.

5. “Jakarta Globe” is written by Indonesian people and the reporters are not native speakers too.

The reasons above have motivated the writer to analyze the lexical cohesion of the selected articles contents of “Jakarta Globe” Electronic paper (E-paper) as a kind of written discourse.


(21)

1.2Problem of the Study

By writing this thesis, the writer would like to find out the sollution of some following problems:

1. What are the lexical cohesion categories found in the selected articles of Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014?

2. What is the most dominant lexical cohesion found in selected articles of Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014?

1.3 Objective of the Study

The objectives of the study are:

1. To find out the lexical cohesion categories in the selected articles of Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014.

2. To find out the dominant lexical item applied in the selected articles of Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014.

1.4 Scope of the Study

In research, it is important to limit the analysis on specific data that has been choosen, and to avoid over complicating the issues and analysis.

There is cohsion in this paper, but the writer just focused on lexical cohesion in the selected articles taken from Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014 based on the theory of Halliday and Hasan.


(22)

1.5 Significance of the Study

The significances of study are:

1. It helps the readers to understand the lexical cohesion.

2. It gives an explanation about the categories of lexical cohesion.

3. Theoritically, it will enrich the study of Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL), especially dealing with lexical cohesion.

4. Practically, it will be useful for English Department students who are interested in the field of lexical item study. So, they can use this thesis as reference for their analysis.

CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

2.1 Definition of Discourse

Linguistic had focused its analysis on sentence until the begining of decade 1950s. Then in 1952, a famous linguist, Harris published an article entitled “Discourse Analysis” in

Language magazine. He expressed a new opinion stating that the most complete unit of language is discourse, not a sentence. That opinion had brought linguist started to analyze language basic on discourse.

Discourse analysis is not only widely recognized as one of the vastest, but also the least defined areas in linguistics. One reason for this statement is that our understanding to discourse analysis is based on scholar from a number of academic disciplines that are actually very different from one to another. However, as the least defined areas in linguistics, the study of discourse analysis is supposed to be the most important study of language.

There are some linguists who give definition of discourse. Few of them are as follows.

(a) Henry Guntur Tarigan (1987:27) state that: “wacana adalah satuan bahasa yang terlengkap dan tertinggi atau terbesar di atas kalimat atau klausa dengan kohesi dan koherensi yang berkesinambungan yang mempunyai awal dan akhir yang nyata disampaikan secara lisan dan tulisan.” (Discourse is one complete and highest language unit above sentence and clause with continuous cohesion and coherence, which have the reality beginning and ending, communicate as verbal and writing). (b) Stubbs (1983:1) explain that, “discourse analysis refers to the attempts to study the

organization of language above the sentence or above the clause and therefore to study larger linguistic unit such as conversational exchanges or written texts.”


(24)

(c) Edmonson (1981:4) in Tarigan (1981:4) says that discourse is a structural event manifested in linguistic behavior or athers whereas a text is an arrangement of structural lingusitic expressions which forms a unity.

(d) Linde (1981:85) in Tarigan says that discourse is a stretch of continuous

beginning and ending, and also a number of internal structure.

(e) Carlson (1983:xii-xiv) in Tarigan says, “Discourse is a stretch of continuous utterances (a sequence of individual sentences). So, it does not only consist of utterances or sentences which are grammatically well-formed.”

From definitions about discourse analysis above, the writer see some similarities and differences on concept of the linguists. There are essentially some important points that the writer gets from all those definitions, they are: (1) lingusitic unit; (2) the most complete or the highest; (3) above the sentence or above the clause; (4) well-tied or coherent; (5) sense of unity or cohesion; (6) continuity; (7) written and spoken; and (8) clear beginning and ending.

2.1.1 The Functions of Discourse Analysis

As the highest unit of language above the sentences or the clause is discourse. It has the main functions or targets just like the function of language, that is to transmit information in social communication. So the study of discourse analysis is to lead the


(25)

language users to understand thoroughly about the discourse and also are qualified to produce a well-formed discourse.

It is important that the recipient gets the information correctly. For instance, when the doctor tells a nurse how to administer medicine to the patients, a policeman gives direction to the travelers, or a salesman explains the products to the buyers and so on. In each case, it matters that the speaker or writer should make what he/she says could be understood. Every speaker or writer is expecting that his/her utterances or written text will be understood and appreciated by the recifients. In this situation, the speaker or the writer will try to find the best way to make all events easily reported or uttered. So discourse is an appropriate unit for this purpose.

Finally, it can be insisted that the function of discourse is defined as to organize a larger idea of a writer or a speaker (that the sentence has failed to do) and to arrange that the idea into a coherent state so that the recifients will easily comprehend what the writer or speaker means. That is why, as the consequence, the goal of language will be obtained. So, the main function of discourse is as the best way to convey information in the terms of communication. But, however, the participants, either the speaker (writer) or hearer (reader) should certainly understand thoroughly about the discourse and its structure or organization.


(26)

2.1.2 The Types of Discourse Analysis

After talking about the definitions and functions of discourse, then the writer would like to talk about the types of discourse analysis. This is very important to know how the types of discourse analysis found in linguistic scientific.

Every text has different characteristic of discourse, such as narrative, conversation, exposition, poem, and so on. But the formal characters which characterize each types of discourse in every language often differ from one language to another (Nida 1987:42).

According to his point of view, a discourse can be classified into various ways, as follows: (a) based on the medium used; (b) based on the way of discourse is conveyed; (c) based on thematic orientation; and (d) based on the form of discourse.

Based on the medium used, a discourse can be classified into: (1) Written discourse. This is a type of discourse that is conveyed in written form, through written media. The recifients should read the discourse if he/she wants to enjoy or comprehend it. The example of written discourse can be found in newspaper, magazine, book, and others. Written discourse can be an indirect discourse, a prose, a poem, and so on. (2) Spoken discourse is a type of discourse which is conveyed orally through speaking or spoken form. The recipients should listen to the discourse if he/she wants to enjoy or comprehend it. This includes casual conversation and speech.

Then, based on the way of discourse is conveyed, a discourse can be classified into : (a) Direct discourse, Kridalaksana (1984:208) state that direct discourse is a type


(27)

of discourse which is limited in its conveyance by intonation or functuation. (b) Indirect discourse can be said that indirect discourse is conveyed by using a certain grammatical construction of word, instead of quoting the words used by the speaker directly.

Beside that, based on the thematic orientation, a discourse can be classified into: (a) Expository discourse, is oriented in the subject and parts that tied logically which ignore the time and the expositor, and (b) Narrative discourse, a discourse which focused on time chronological, writen or spoken by first person or third person in the specific time, and oriented to subject linguistic, the all forms of this discourse based and tied by chronological time (Kridalaksana, 1984:208).

Then, based on its form, a discouse can be clasified into; (a) Prose, is the type of discourse conveyed in the form of prose. It can be written or spoken, direct or indirect, and also expository or narrative. This type of discourse includes novel, short story, articles, and so on. (b) Play, is the type of discourse conveyed in the form of dialog, either spoken or written. This includes causal conversation, classroom. Interaction, and so on. (c) Poem, is a type of discourse which ruled in stanza, line, rhytmh, and rhyme. It can be spoken or written.

2.2 The Concept of Cohesion

Halliday and Hasan (1976:4) state that the concepts of cohession is semantic one. It refers to relation of meaning that exist within the text, and that define it as a text. It means that the key to the concepts of cohesion is based on meaning, that is something wich exists in the language, not something which exists in people.


(28)

A relationship neglected aspect of the linguistic system is its resources for text construction, the range of meanings that are specifically related to something which is being said or written to its semantic environment. The essential component of these resources is cohesion. Furthermore, cohesive relation is relation between two or more elements in a text that are independent of the structure. For example between a personal pronoun and an antecedent proper name such as Robert... he, Stephanie... she, and so on. A semantic relation of this kind may set up either within a sentence or between sentences. Concerning with that, when it crosses a sentence boundary, and the concepts have been outlined by Halliday in his writing on stylistic, and the concepts was developed by his partner, Hasan, in his University of Edinburgh doctoral thesis. According to Halliday and Hasan, there are four concepts of cohesion, they are: (1) text; (2) texture; (3) ties; and (4) cohesion and coherence.

2.2.1 Text

Text is the verbal record of communicative event. Halliday and Hasan (1976:1) state: “The word text is used in linguistics to refer to any passage, spoken or written, of whatever length. That does form a unified whole.” This means that a text may be spoken or written, prose or verse, dialogue or monologue. It may be anything from a single proverb to a whole play, from a momentary cry for help to an all-day discussion on a committee.

A text is language in use. It is regarded as a semantic unit, a unit which is not of form but of meaning. A text is not a grammatical unit like a clause or a sentence and does not defined by its size. A text may be of any length.


(29)

Since it is not of the grammatical rank scale and does not consist of sentences, a text is not tied to the sentences as its lower limit. In fact, many familiar texts such aswarning, titles, announcements, inscription, and advertisement come out as less than one sentence in grammatical structure, and often consist of a verbal, nominal, adverbial or proporsional group.

Examples:

(1) No smoking!

(2) Stop!

(3) No shoes, no service!

However, there is no upper limit on the length of the text. A play, a lecture, a meeting, or an entire book may – and in many genres such as fiction typically does— comprise a single text in summary, text does not defined by its size but realization.

2.2.2 Texture

The concept of texture is entirely appropriate to express the property of being a text. A text has texture, and this is what distinguishes it from something that is not a text. It devices this texture from the fact that it functions as a unity with respect to its environment (Halliday and Hasan 1976:2). This also means that every discourse has a texture, which is identified by a thight relation between the sentences in the discourse itself and which makes the sentences coheren (logically related). When a passage of English containing more than one sentence is perceived as a text, there will be the


(30)

certain linguistic features present in that passage which can be identified as contributing to its total units and giving the texture. For examples:

(4) Jeremy and I went to Gramedia Book Shop. We bought some dictionaries.

(5) Pevita and her little sister are shopping. I am making a cake in my home.

The sentences in example (4) above are related one another that make the reader or the listener easy to understand what they are about. The word “we” from the example (4) clearly refers back (anaphoric to) “Jeremy and I.” This gives a cohesive relation that does not occur in the example (5). This cohesive relation, in the example (a), makes a texture in that two sentences.

2.2.3 Ties

According to Halliday and Hasan (1976:4) the concepts of tie make it possible to analyze a text in terms of its cohesive properties, and gives a systemic account of its pattern of texture. From this statement, we will know that the basic concept that is employed in analyzing the cohesion of a text is the tie.

A tie is a complex notion, because it does not only include in the cohesive elements itself, but also that is presupposed by it. A tie is the best interpreted as a relation between those two elements. For examples:

(6) Jeremy goes to Gramedia Book Shop. He buys dictionaries and pencils.


(31)

In the example (6) the two sentences related one another. In which there is a cohesive relation between “Jeremy” and “he”, which constitutes what we called tie. The particular kind which we can find in this example is called reference. While in example (7) there are actually two ties, of which one is reference kind occurs in the anaphoric relation of the three watermelons and the other is of a different kind and consists in the repetition of the word watermelon, a repetitionwhich would still have a cohesive effect even if the two were not referring to the some watermelons.

2.2.4 Coherence and Cohesion

Halliday and Hasan (1976:1) offer a definition of text that provides a starting point for an exploration of text. Text is any passage of language, spoken or written, of whatever length, that does form a unified whole. In describing how a text forms a unified whole, they introduced the concept of texture. Texture is the property that distinguishes text from non-text. A text has texture which holds the clauses of a text together to give them unity. If the clauses within a text do not relate each other, we are reacting two dimensions of the paragraph: its contextual properties, what we call as coherence, and its internal properties, what we call as cohesion.

2.2.4.1Coherence

Coherence refers to the way a group of clauses or sentences relate to the context (Halliday and Hasan, 1976:23). There are two types of coherence in the systemic model:


(32)

2. Generic coherence

A text has situational coherence when we can think of one situation in which all the clauses of the text could occur, for example when we can specify a field, mode and tenor for the entire collection of clauses.

The field of discourse - What is happening? What are the participants engaged in?

The tenor of discourse - Who is taking part? What are their rules?

The mode of discourse - What part of language is playing? Is it persuasive, expository, narrative, or descriptive.

A text has generic coherence when we can recognize the text as an example of a particular genre, for example when we can identify a scheme structure.

2.2.4.2 Cohesion

Halliday (1976:4) says, “The concept of cohesion is a semantic one. It refers to relation of meaning that exist within the text and that define it as a text. Cohesion occurs where the interpretation of some elements in the discourse is dependent on that of another. The one presupposes the other, in the sense that it cannot be effectively decoded except by recourse to it. When this happens, a relation of cohesion is set up, and the two elements, the presupposing and the presupposed, are thereby at least potentially integrated into a text.”

From this definition, we can get understandings of cohesion. They are:


(33)

- Sense of unity

- Inter sentence relation

- Relation in meaning

A very wide range of semantic relationship is encoded through the clause complex. But in order to construct discourse, we need to be able to establish additional relations within the text. The relations within the text that may involve elements of any extent, both smaller and larger than clauses, from single words to lengthy passages of text, and that may hold across gaps of any extent, both within the clause and beyond it. This cannot be achieved by grammatical structure; it depends on a resource of a different kind. These non-structural resources for discourse are what are referred to by the term cohesion.

Cohesion is part of the system of a language. The potential for cohesion lies in the systematic resources that are built into the language. Like other semantic relations, cohesion is expressed through the strata organization of language. Language can be explained as a multiple coding system comprising three levels of coding or strata: the semantic (meanings), the lexicogrammatical (forms), and the phonological and orthographical (expression). Meanings are realized or coded as forms, and forms are realized in turn as expressions. In everyday terminology, meaning is put into wording, and wording into sound or writing (Halliday, 1976:5). It can be seen in this figure :


(34)

Meaning (the semantic system)

Meaning (the semantic system)

Sounding/ Writing (the phonological and orthographic system)

There are five types of cohesion, they are:

1. Reference

Reference refers to how the speaker introduces participants and then keeps track of them once they are in the text. Participants are the people, places, and things that get talked about in the text.

Examples:

(a) Three strong horses, three strong horses See how they run! See how they

‘They’ refers to ‘three strong horses’. run!

(b) Jeremy went to the market with his friend on the Sunday morning. Theywould bought some milks

‘There’ refers to ‘the market’.

there.

Wording (the lexicogrammatical system, grammar and vocabulary)


(35)

Whenever a participant is mentioned in a text, the writer/ speaker must signal to the readers/ listeners whether the identity of the participant is already known or not. A participant or circumstantial element introduced at one place in the text can be taken as a reference point for something that follows.

2. Ellipsis

A clause or a part of a clause, or a part of a verbal or nominal group, may be presupposed at a sub sequent place in the text by the device of positive omission. Ellipsis requires supplying the appropriate word/words available.

Examples:

(a) Freddy will go

(b) Kate

abroad on Sunday, and Vanessa on Wednesday. (verb)

has

(c) Who was taken to the hospital yesterday? two rabbits, Jane five. (noun)

Jeremy was. (verb) 3. Substitution

The replacement of one item by another is called substitution. Essentially substitution and ellipsis are the same process but the mechanism involved in, are rather different.

Examples :

(a) Do you want the blue or the purple shirt? The purple one.


(36)

One is cohesive, it is a substitute for the word shirt (b) Is it difficult for you?

.

I think so.

So substitutes the whole clause.

4. Conjunction

A clause or clause complex, or some longer stretch of text, may be related to what follows it by one of a specific set of semantic relations. Conjunction has functions to specify the semantic connection of a clause with the preceding text. There are many expressions, which serve to express conjunctive relations. Halliday and Hasan categorize the four kinds of conjunction (1976:242):

Additive : and, nor, or, also, etc.

Adversative : yet, however, infact, etc.

Causal : so, therefore, because, etc.

Temporal : then, next, in short, etc.

5. Lexical cohesion

Lexical cohesion refers to how the speaker/ writer uses lexical items (nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs) and even sequences (chains of clauses and sentences) to relate the text consistently to its area of focus. Lexical relation analysis derives from observing that there are certain expectancy relations between words, lexical relation analysis is a way of systematically describing how words in a text relate to each other.


(37)

There are five types of lexical cohesion (Halliday and Hasan, 1976:320): Repetition, Synonymy, Antonymy, Hyponymy, and Meronymy.

2.3 Types of Lexical Cohesion

Lexical cohesion is established through the structure of lexis, or vocabulary, and hence at the lexicogrammatical level. There are five types of lexical cohesion:

2.3.1 Repetition

Repetition occurs when two or more lexical items repeated. This is the repetition of a lexical item, or the occurrence of a synonym of some kind, in the context of reference, that is, where the two occurrences have the same referent. For example:

- Miley is in the singing contest on Sunday. Everyone believes that she will win the

2.3.2 Synonymy singing contest

Synonymy occurs when two or more lexical items express similar meanings. In other words, when two words essentially restate each other.

Examples:

- I am taken to the clinic - I am taken to the hospital

Clinic - hospital


(38)

housemaid - servant

- She has a thin body - She has a skinny body

Thin - skinny

2.3.3 Antonymy

Antonymy occurs when two or more lexical items encode a contrast relationship.

Examples:

Male >< female

Hot >< cold

Satisfied >< dissatisfied

Old >< young

There are many pairs of terms in English that can act as antonym, where one term is unmarked and the other is marked. Unmarked is the term that would be used in straightforward questions and statements, while the marked term reflects a particular meaning.

There are also some lexemes which are related to gender, examples:

Nurse >< male nurse

Model >< male model


(39)

Doctor ><woman doctor

Furthermore, in English we have pairs of terms where the unmarked form is male and the marked form is female. They are recognize by adding a suffixes such as “ess”, “ine”,

Examples:

Actor ><actress

Waiter ><waitress

2.3.4 Hyponymy

Hyponymy occurs when there is a relationship between a super ordinate term and its members, or hyponyms. It occurs because of classification. Classification is the ‘x’ is a type of ‘y’ relationship. When two or more lexical items used in a text are both members of a super ordinate class.

Examples:

- Jundice – Pneunomia Both terms are members of the super ordinate class.

- She’ll win a trophy. The prize

Hyponymy may also occur when two or more lexical items used in a text are related through sub-classification, e.g: illness – jaundice here are the relationship is super ordinate term to hyponym. English possesses separate lexemes for the male and the female of various species of animals that human domesticated: one of


(40)

the two is used when the identification of the sex is not important to the person who is speaking. They are:

Animal Male

Lion lion lioness Female

Tiger tiger tigress

Fox fox vixen

The term lion is a hyponym of lion-lioness. Lion and lioness are co-hyponyms of lion. Lion is the super ordinate, while the specifically male term lion and the specifically female term lioness as co-hyponym. It can be seen in this figure :

Lion

Lion (male) Lioness (female)

Furthermore, the pattern where the term of super ordinate use a generic term which cover animals of both sexes can be found.

Animal Male

Chicken cock hen Female

Horse stallion mare


(41)

2.3.5 Meronymy

Meronym occurs when two or more lexical items are related as whole to part:

Example: Body – Arteries

When two or more lexical items are related by both being parts of a common whole, it is called as co-meronym:

Examples:

- Law – family law, civil law, contract law, government law, international law.

- Linguistics – discourse analysis, language acquisition, sociolinguistics, language structure.


(42)

2.4 Previous Study

The idea of writing this thesis is based on some books which supply relevant information to the topic. The writer refers to the related analysis based on the cohesion in discourse. Some of them are follows under the review.

1. Halliday and Hassan (1976:4) in their book entitled Cohesion in English say that The concept of cohesion is a semantic one. It refers to relation of meaning that exist within the text and that define it as a text. Cohesion occurs where the interpretation of some elements in the discourse is depend on that of another. The one presupposes the other, in the sense that it cannot be effectively decoded except by recourse to it. When this happens, a relation of cohesion is set up, and the two elements, the presupposing and the presupposed, are thereby at least potentially integrated into a text.

2. Thomas Bloor (1995) in his book entitled The Functional Analysis of English, explains about cohesive ties in the text which can be claasified into four main types: reference; ellipsis and subtitution, conjunction, and lexical cohesion. Further, the writer explains about the relationship between grammar and text. A text has some textual components of the grammar and the lexical cohesion is a part of cohesive components.

3. Hassan (1984:320) presents five categories of general lexical cohesion in his book entitled Coherence and Cohesive Harmony in Understanding Reading Comprehension. They are: (a) repetition, (b) synonymy, (c) antonymy, (d) hyponymy, and (e) meronymy.


(43)

4. Irma Wardhani (1997) in her thesis entitled “An Analysis of Cohesive Ties in the Discourse of the Traditional Minangkabau Wedding Ceremony” has analyzed that text of the discourse in Minangkabau tradidional wedding ceremony

(baralek) in terms of cohesive ties encompassing grammatical cohesion

(reference, subtitution and ellipsis), lexical cohesion (re-iteration and collocation) and conjunction (additive, adversative, clausal, and temporal).

Chapter III METHODOLOGY

3.1 Research Method

The writer applied library research in writing and completing the analysis, by using the relevant theories to support this analysis from written sources, such as textbooks, thesis, internet, and dictionaries.

3.2 Data Collecting Method

The primary source of the analysis is Jakarta Globe E-paper and the other sources are the written materials, textbooks, or references that related to the topic of this analysis.

The data are collected randomly from the 12 (twelve) choosen articles of Jakarta Globe E-paper, from January until March 2014 by using “Gambling System” (Hadi, 2004:83). It is by collecting all the articles, and then numbering each of them. The number of articles are drawn, it is the article that being choosen. So, from 20 articles, there are only twelve that will be analyzed as data source by the writer. The twelve articles are:

1. Indonesian Worker in Taiwan Paralyzed After Alleged Abuse article 27th,January 2014.

2. Akil Mochtar Named Drug Suspect article 18th, January 2014.

3. KPK Seizes 17 Cars From Ratu Atut’s Brother article 28th, January 2014


(45)

5. Cars, Cash and Celebrities: Wawan’s Case Widens article 13th, February 2014. 6. In Banten, an Education System Plundered by Graft article 18th, February 2014. 7. Three Arrested in Jakarta as Police Find Half Ton of Marijuana article 28th,

February 2014.

8. Jakarta Governor in Mission to Rid City’s Procurement Process of Graft article 19th, February 2014.

9. Indonesia Religious Affairs Minister Wants Right to Issue Halal Certification article 3rd, March 2014.

10. Court Tells Pertamina Director to Stop Making Up Stories article 5th, March 2014. 11. Hambalang Suspect Andi Mallarangeng to Stand Trial on Monday article 8th, March

2014.

12. MH370 Spans Asia, But Investigation Shows Little Progress article 18th, March 2014.

The samples of this analysis are collected by using “Purposive Sampling” (Hadi, 2004:78). It is by selecting the data that can be representatives of the whole data here.

3.3 Data Analysis Method

It is a quantitative analysis method, which means a research which use some instruments for collecting the data, for instance: formulas to count the data which means here to count the categories of lexical cohesion occurs in the text. In counting the percentage of data, the writer applies Nawawi’s social analysis method ( 1991:127) to find the most dominant type of lexical cohesion in Jakarta Globe E-paper from January until March 2014.


(46)

The following formula is: �

� × 100% = N

X : Number of categories of lexical cohesion Y : Number of all data

N : Percentage of lexical cohesion

In analyzing the data, the applied procedures are: 1. Reading the choosen articles of electronic paper. 2. Identifying the words which belong to lexical cohesion. 3. Classifying the lexical item according to their groups.

4. Listing and recapitulating the lexical item which occur mostly. 5. Making the percentage of lexical cohesion.


(47)

Chapter IV

ANALYSIS OF LEXICAL COHESION IN SELECTED ARTICLES OF JAKARTA GLOBE E-PAPER

Lexical cohesion refers to the relationships between or among words in a text. They are repetition, synonimy, antonymy, hyponimy, and meronymy. The existence of each of lexical item will be calculated in the table.

3.4 Repetition

torture at the hands of her Taiwanese employer, .... Rieke said that Sihatul was often tortured

(page 1, par 1 and 5)

by her employer, Huang Deng Jin.

The words migrant and torture are repeated because the writer wants to emphasize the topic/ the word in the news. That is why they are called repetition.


(48)

3.4.1 The Existence of Repetition

Repetition occurs when two or more lexical items repeated. This is the repetition of a lexical item, or the occurrence of a synonym of some kind, in the context of reference, that is, where the two occurrences have the same referent.
