INTRODUCTION

One of the characteristics of a good paragraph is the interrelated sentences.  As well as the viewpoint that language consists of meaning and form (Martinec & Van Leeuwen, 2020). The entanglement of the sentences in a paragraph can be differentiate into two types, namely meaning and form entanglements. The meaning entanglement between sentences called as coherence and the form entanglement between sentences called as cohesion (Chin & Huh, 2019). The following example is presenting the coherence and cohesion in Indonesian paragraph.

(1)   a. Dengan pendidikan, manusia bisa menjadi lebih dewasa, mandiri, dan bertanggung jawab atas apa yang dilakukannya. b. Selain itu, pendidikan juga mampu mendorong orang untuk menentukan identitas dan masa depan mereka (https://smpislampapb.sch.id/jenis-paragraf/eksposisi/).

(1)   a. With education, man can become more mature, independent, and responsible for what he does. b.  In addition, education is also able to encourage people to determine their identity and future.

 

Paragraph (1) consists of two sentences, namely sentence (1a) and sentence (1b). The (1a) sentence is called as topic sentence, while the (1b) sentence is called explanatory sentence. The topic sentence and explanatory sentence in the (1) paragraph have ‘additive’ coherence. Additionally, the (1a) sentence and (1b) sentence also contain cohesion, those are the cohesion conjunction of selain itu (means in addition) and repetition conjunction in the word pendidikan (means education).

Based on the form, cohesion is divided into two namely the cohesion of lexical and grammatical (Halliday and Hassan 1976). Lexical cohesion is the cohesion in the form of meaning entanglement between one to another constituent sentence (Haberman et al., 2020). The following sentences are the examples of lexical cohesion in Indonesian paragraph.

 

 

(2)   a. Buku fiksi ditulis berdasarkan imajinasi sehingga isi dari jenis buku ini lebih banyak berupa cerita yang menghibur dan membangkitkan emosi. b. Sementara, buku nonfiksi adalah buku yang ditulis berdasarkan kenyataan. c. Buku jenis ini menyajikan suatu informasi dan pengetahuan baru. (https://www.bola.com/ragam/read/4456121/perbedaan-bukufiksidannonfiksiyangperludiketahui#:~:text=Buku%20fiksi%20ditulis%20berdasarkan%20imajinasi,suatu%20informasi%20dan%20pengetahuan%20baru)

(2)   a. Fiction books are written based on imagination so that the content of this type of book is more of an entertaining and emotionally evoking story. b. Meanwhile, a nonfiction book is a book written based on reality.   c. This type of book presents a new piece of information and knowledge.

 

The (2) paragraph consists of three sentences. They are (2a), (2b), (2c) sentences. The (2a) sentence is the topic sentence, meanwhile (2b) and (2c) are explanatory sentence. In the (2) paragraph, the topic sentence and the explanatory sentence have ‘comparative’ coherence. The antonymy cohesion can be seen in the phrase buku fiksi (means fiction book) in (2a) sentence which is antonymic to the phrase buku nonfiksi (means nonfiction book) in (2b) sentence and the word imajinasi (means imagination) in (2a) sentence is antonymic to the word kenyataan (means reality) in (2b) sentence.

The grammatical cohesion is the cohesion in a form of grammatical entanglement between one to another constituent sentence. The following sentences are the examples of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraph.

 

(3)   a. Di suatu siang yang cerah, dua orang gadis bernama Rara dan Tina tengah mengerjakan tugas sekolah di rumah Rara. b. Mereka mengerjakan dengan serius dan suasana nampak hening (https://made-blog.com/contoh-cerpen/).

(3)   On a sunny afternoon, two girls named Rara and Tina are doing schoolwork at Rara's house. b.  They worked seriously and the atmosphere seemed to be quiet

 

Paragraph (3) consists of two sentences, namely sentence (3a) and sentence (3b). The (3a) sentence is called as topic sentence, while the (3b) sentence is called explanatory sentence. The topic sentence and explanatory sentence in the (1) paragraph have ‘method’ coherence. Additionally, the (3a) sentence and (3b) sentence have grammatical cohesion namely substitution cohesion. Substitution cohesion appears in the word mereka (means they) in (3b) sentence which replaces dua orang gadis bernama Rara (means two girls named Rara and Tina) and Tina in the (3a) sentence.

In this study, the Indonesian paragraph is specifically studied in terms of grammatical cohesion. The problem of study is the type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs and the grammatical units that become its means.

Several literatures have been discussed the grammatical cohesion in Indonesian, including Ramlan (1993), Baryadi (2002), Mulyana (2005), Sasangka (2018) and Sakrim and Maryam Ulfa (Sakrim, 2021). Ramlan (1993) discussed grammatical cohesion to explain the relationship markers between sentences in Indonesian paragraphs. By applying Halliday and Hasan's (1972) cohesion theory, Ramlan has explained each type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs, namely reference, substitution, elision, and conjunction.

Baryadi (2002), discusses grammatical cohesion to explain the relationship of the parts of discourse. Similar to Ramlan's (1993) discussion, Baryadi's discussion of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian discourse also applies the theory of cohesion from Halliday and Hasan's (1972). Baryadi (2002) has discussed the types of grammatical cohesion and the form of grammatical units in the Indonesian discourse section. In this review, the grammatical units that are the means of each type of grammatical cohesion are also incomplete.

Mulyana (2005) discusses the grammatical cohesion to explain the unity of the discourse structure. Mulyana (2005) has explained the types of grammatical cohesion and their examples in the Indonesian discourse section.  In this review, only a few examples are given of grammatical units for each type of grammatical cohesion.

Sasangka (2018) analysed the grammatical cohesion in the variety of legislation language. Sasangka (2018) discussed the types of grammatical cohesion and the form of grammatical units in the discourse of laws.

Sakrim and Maryam Ulfa (2021) analysed grammatical cohesion in their study on the manifestation of cohesion and coherence in the student’s papers. Sakrim and Maryam Ulfa (2021) realised each type of grammatical cohesion in papers made by students. 

The cohesion theory proposed by Halliday and Hasan (2014) is used in this study. Moreover, this study also observes the result about cohesion in either Indonesia or English as an implementation of the cohesion theory from Halliday and Hasan (2014). The studies of cohesion in Indonesian language has been explained in the literature review. The results of the cohesion studies in English including the works from Hameed (2008), Michael et al. (2013), and Bahazig (2016).

   Cohesion refers to the entanglement between one to other sentences in a paragraph. Cohesion occurs when the interpretation of particular sentence depends to another sentence (Adiantika, 2015). The sentences in a paragraph can be called as cohesive when one constituent sentence presupposes or is presupposed by another constituent sentence.

   Based on its form, cohesion divides into two, namely lexical cohesion and grammatical cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 2014). Lexical cohesion is cohesion that takes the form of a lexical meaning relationship between one to another constituent sentence. Grammatical cohesion is cohesion that takes the form of grammatical relationships between one to another constituent sentence.

Based on the nature of the relationship, grammatical cohesion consists of reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, allusion cohesion, and conjunction cohesion (Halliday & Hasan, 2014). Reference cohesion is cohesion in the form of one sentence constituent pointing to another constituent sentence (Uru et al., 2021). Substitution cohesion is cohesion in the form of one constituent sentence replacing another constituent sentence. Ellipsis cohesion is cohesion in the form of constituents when one sentence being omitted in another sentence. Conjunction cohesion is cohesion in the form of a conjunction that connects one to another sentence. 

This study specifically examines each type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs. The discourses used as data sources including news discourse, exposition discourse, narrative discourse, and procedural discourse, both found in online media and offline discourse. In addition, this study examines the grammatical unit that becomes the means for each type of grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs.

 

METHODS

The object of the study is the grammatical cohesion in Indonesian paragraphs. The data of the study is Indonesian paragraphs that contain grammatical cohesion. The data were collected from news discourse, exposition discourse, narrative discourse, and procedural discourse in online and offline media. The data collection was conducted using the observation method (Sudaryanto, 2015), namely observing paragraphs in expositional discourse, narrative discourse, and procedural discourse. Paragraphs containing grammatical cohesion were then recorded on data cards.

After the data collected, then it will be classified based on the types of grammatical cohesion, namely reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, ellipsis cohesion, and conjunction cohesion. The data that has been put into its group then analyzed using the distributional method. It is a method that using determining tools in the form of language elements in the data itself (Sudaryanto, 2015). The distributional method is applied with the replacing technique and the marker reading technique. The replacing technique is used to demonstrate reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, and ellipsis cohesion. The replacing technique is implemented by placing the designated, replaced, or omitted constituent sentence back into the pointer, substitute, and zero constituents in another sentence. The marker reading technique is used to demonstrate conjunction cohesion. The marker reading technique is applied by determining the markers. It appears in a paragraph on the form of conjunctions between sentences.

   Informal and formal method are used to present the result of data analysis. It is in the form of an explanation of each type of grammatical cohesion and its means. The informal presentation method is the formulation of the results of data analysis using ordinary words even with technical terminology. The formal presentation method is the formulation of the results of data analysis using what is commonly known as signs and symbols (Sudaryanto, 2015). In this study, the result of the data analysis are presented in a table by using the formal method.

 

RESULTS

Based on the data analysis, four types of grammatical cohesion were found in Indonesian paragraphs. They were reference cohesion, substitution cohesion, ellipsis cohesion, and conjunction cohesion. Each type of grammatical cohesion and its means in Indonesian paragraph will be presented in the following discussion.

 

Reference Cohesion

Reference cohesion is cohesion formed in one constituent sentence pointing to another constituent sentence of a paragraph. There are two parts of reference cohesion, namely the pointing part and the pointed part. According to the direction, reference cohesion divides into two namely anaphoric and cataphoric reference cohesion.

Anaphoric reference cohesion is noticed by the occurrence of a sentence constituent pointing to a constituent that has already been mentioned. In anaphoric reference cohesion, the pointed part is on the left while the pointing part is on the right. In Indonesian, the means of anaphoric reference cohesion are the words itu, ini, tersebut, and demikian (means thereby). The words itu and ini (means this and that) can stand independently (examples (4) and (5)) and can be preceded by a noun (examples (6) and (7)) or it should be preceded a noun first (examples (8) and (9)). The word demikian (means thereby) is used independently (example (10). There are several examples of paragraphs comprising anaphoric reference cohesion as follows:

(4)    a. Kita dukung Jabodetabek disekat sehingga tidak muncul episentrum-episentrum baru penyebaran korona di wilayah lain. b. Itu tidak boleh terjadi (Media Indonesia, 25 April 2020:2).

(7)   a. Kita berharap seluruh warga ibu kota dan wilayah penyangga mematuhi dengan penuh kedisiplinan ketetapan yang telah diberlakukan tersebut. b. Tanpa ketaatan dan kedisiplinan, niscaya larangan mudik untuk mengerem dan menghentikan penyebaran virus korona ini tidak membawa hasil optimal. c. Hal ini kita tekankan benar, mengingat ketaatan dan kedisiplinan untuk mematuhi aturan masih kerap menjadi persoalan (Media Indonesia, 25 April 2020: 2).

We hope that all residents of the capital and buffer areas will comply with full discipline the provisions that have been imposed. b.  Without obedience and discipline, undoubtedly the ban on going home to put the brakes on and stop the spread of the coronavirus does not bring optimal results. c. We emphasize this to be true, considering that obedience and discipline to comply with the rules are still often a problem.

It is noticed that in the (10) sentence also found anaphoric reference cohesion namely demikian in the (10b) sentence referring to (10a) sentence.

Cataphoric reference cohesion is cohesion formed of one constituent sentence reffering to the constituent of the upcoming mentioned sentence. In Indonesian, berikut, berikut ini, yakni, and yaitu are the means of cataphoric reference cohesion. Cataphoric reference cohesion is presented in the following discussion.

(11)  Berikut adalah cara yang benar dalam menggunakan masker. Pastikan untuk menggunakan masker yang sesuai dengan ukuran wajah Anda, tidak kekecilan atau kebesaran. Selalu mencuci tangan dengan sabun atau hand sanitizer sebelum menggunakan masker. Perhatikan sisi masker. Biasanya masker memiliki warna hijau dan putih.

Here's the right way to use a mask.  Be sure to use a mask that fits your face size, not smallness or oversizedness. Always wash your hands with soap or hand sanitizer before using a mask. Pay attention to the side of the mask. Usually masks have a green and white color. The green side is the outside so the white side that sticks to your skin. Put a wire line on the mask on your nose. If you are using a strap mask, tie the top strap on the head of the crown. Then, strap the bottom until the mask covers your chin, then tie the strap around your neck. If you use a rubber mask, you only need to tie the rubber to the ear part. Once the mask is in place, pinch the wire line to follow the shape of your nose so that there is no gap left between the mask and your face. Extend the bottom of the mask until it covers the chin.

Made of soft material and comfortable to use. It is generally packed in a box containing disposable masks.

 

Cataphoric reference cohesion occurs in the example (11), the word berikut located in the beginning of the first sentence referring to the other next sentences.  In the example (12), cataphoric reference cohesion also found. The phrase berikut ini  in the end of the sentence referring to the other next sentences. Similarly, paragraph (13) also contains cataphoric reference cohesion, the word yakni at the end of the first sentence referring to the other next sentences.

There are several words and phrases that are used in Indonesian as means of anaphoric reference cohesion. The following table presents the words and phrases used as a means of anaphoric reference cohesion and cataphoric reference cohesion in Indonesian.

Substitution Cohesion

Substitution cohesion is a cohesion formed in a one constituent sentence to replace another constituent sentence in a paragraph. There are two elements in substitution cohesion. They are replaced element and replacement element. If replaced element expresses persona, then replacement element is the pronomina persona. The function of pronomina persona as a marker of substitution cohesion is as third person singular consisting of dia, ia, -nya, and beliau and third person plural consisting of mereka,  nya, and beliau-beliau. The function of persona pronominal as a means of substitution cohesion is presented in the following table.

Table 2 Third-person Pronomina as a Means of Substitution Cohesion

Pronomina Persona

Neutral 

Respectful

Third-person singular pronomina

dia, ia, -nya

beliau

Third-person plural pronomina

mereka, -nya

beliau-beliau

 

The third-person pronomina on the table can be used as a means of substitution cohesion because the third-person pronomina has intratextual properties, which can replace sentence constituents that have already been mentioned. Here are the following examples of the use of persona substitution cohesion in Indonesian paragraph.

On the example (14) is found replacement cohesion. They are the word dia in the (14b) sentence replacing Ahli Psikologi Politik Universitas Indonesia (UI) Hamdi Muluk in the (14a) sentence. The example (15) also found  substitution cohesion, namely nya and orang tuanya in the (15b) sentence and ayahnya in the (15c) sentence replacing the word Taslam in the (15a) sentence. In addition, in example (15) there is also substitution cohesion, namely -ia in sentence (15c) replacing the word Taslam in sentence (15a). In the (16) example also found replacement cohesion, the word nya  in the word menurutnya in the (16c) sentence to replace Juru Bicara Pemerintah untuk Penanganan Covid-19 Achmad Yurianto in the (16a) sentence. In the (17) sentence found substitution cohesion, the word mereka in the (17b) sentence replacing banyak warga yang tidak mengeluh dan tidak hanya mengharapkan bantuan in the (17a) sentence. In paragraph (18) there is substitution cohesion, namely the word beliau in sentences (18b), (18d), and (18f) which replace the word Ki Hajar Dewantara.

When the replaced element formed in a language element that expresses a place or location, the replacement element is a locative pronomina (Praptomo, 2002). Locative pronomina are sini, situ, and sana. Examples are given below.

Substitution cohesion found in the example (19), the phrase di sana in the (19b) sentence replacing the phrase di Malaysia in the (19a) sentence. It is found substitution cohesion in the (20) example, the phrase di situ in the (20b) example replacing the phrase di depan halte bus in the example (20a). In the example (21) there is substitution cohesion, where the phrase di sini sentence (19c) replaces the phrase di kota ini in sentence (21a). The following table is a table of grammatical units formed as substitution cohesion.

Ellipsis Cohesion

Ellipsis cohesion is cohesion in the form of the omission of one to another sentence in a paragraph. The grammatical unit that is omitted is called zero (ǿ). The following is an example of ellipsis cohesion.
