Abstract

This study investigated the cohesion of descriptive texts made by the seventh grade students at SMP N 4 Ungaran in the Academic Year of 2017/2018. It aims to describe the dominant grammatical and lexical cohesive devices in the texts and to identify whether the texts are cohesive or not from from the use of those devices. The data of the study were twenty texts. In collecting the data, the students were assigned to write descriptive texts about their family. The data were analyzed qualitatively based on Halliday and Hassan’s` theory of cohesion (1976). First of all, the texts were divided into clauses, and the cohesive items were identified into percentages. The results showed that of four elements of grammatical cohesions, only three occurred in the texts: reference (607 occurrences or 52%) and conjunction (123 occurrences or 10%). Then, it is followed by ellipsis with 23 occurrences or 2% while substitution is not found in the data. In terms of lexical cohesion only reiteration was found, that is 427 occurrences or 36%. Reiteration was realized as hyponym and repetition in the texts. There was not any collocation in students writing. Based on the result, it can be concluded that all texts under this study were cohesive enough.
