Abstract
Dalam penelitian ini penulis tertarik untuk melakukan penelitian mengenai penanda kohesi dalam esei eksposisi yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa semester tiga program studi sastra inggris. Tredapat dua rumusan masalah, yakni: (1) tipe penanda kohesi apa sajakah yang digunakan oleh mahasiswa semester tiga program studi sastra inggris dalam menulis esei eksposisi, dan (2) tipe penanda kohesi apakah yang paling sering digunakan oleh mahasiswa semester tiga program studi sastra inggris dalam menulis esei eksposisi. Untuk menjawab rumusan masalah, penulis menggunakan dua teori, yaitu teori kohesi gramatikal oleh Halliday and Hasan (1976) dan teori kohesi leksikal oleh Renkema (2004). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif karena dalam penulis menyajiakan analisis data dalam bentuk deskripsi bukan angka. Penelitian ini juga menggunakan analisis dokumen karena data berupa frasa dan kalimat yang diperoleh dari esei eksposisi. Sumber data didalam skripsi ini adalah 7 esei yang ditulis oleh mahasiswa semester tiga program studi Sastra Inggris. Sampel tersebut diambil berdasarkan teknik purposive sampling dengan kriteria esei yang mendapat nilai tertinggi di ujian tengah semester dari tiap kelas. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa mahasiswa semester tiga program studi sastra inggris menggunakan empat jenis kohesi gramatikal: reference (personal, demonstrative, comparative), subtitution (nominal), ellipsis (nominal, verbal, clausal), conjunction (additive, adversative, causal, temporal). Dalam kohesi gramatikal, tipe yang sering digunakan adalah reference (66%), sementara dalam kohesi leksikal, reptition (59%) merupakan tipe kohesi yang paling umum digunakan. Disarankan untuk peneliti mendatang yang ingin meneliti di bidang yang sama untuk menggunakan obyek penelitian lain seperti latar belakang masalah pada skripsi. Selain itu peneliti juga menyarankan agar para peneliti mendatang meneliti keterkaitan antara penggunaan kohesi dan kejelasan atau tingkat persuasi sebuah tulisan.
English Abstract
In this study the researcher is interested in conducting a research on cohesive devices found in expository essays written by third semester students of English Literature. There are two proposed problems: (1) what are the types of cohesive device used by the third semester students of English Literature in their expository essays, and (2) what are the dominant types of cohesive device used by the third semester students of English Literature in their expository essays. To answer the problem of study the writer employs two main theories, those are theory of grammatical cohesion proposed by Halliday and Hasan (1976) and theory of lexical cohesion by Renkema (2004). This research used qualitative approach because the data were explained in the form of description rather than numeral. Besides, the research was conducted through document analysis because the data were in the form of phrases or sentences containing cohesive devices derived from the expository esssays. The data source in this thesis are 7 essays written by the students of the third semester of English Literature. These sample are taken based on purposive sampling, the criterion of which is the highest graded essay in midterm test from each class. Based on the result of the analysis, it is revealed that third semester students of English Literature could employ all the four types of grammatical cohesion to build cohesion in their expository essays: reference (personal, demonstrative, comparative), subtitution (nominal), ellipsis (nominal, verbal, clausal), conjunction (additive, adversative, causal, temporal). In regard to grammatical cohesion, the most commonly used type is reference (66%), while in lexical cohesion, the most frequently used type is repetition (59%). It is suggested to the next researchers who want to conduct study with the same field as the recent one to use other objects of study such as introduction in thesis. Besides, the writer also suggested the next researchers to investigate the corelation between the usage of cohesive devices with the clarity or persuasive quality in certain kinds of writing.
