Referensi sebagai Penanda Kohesi dalam Berita Utama Harian Bali Post

Abstract

There are two kinds of reference found in this writing based on the reference direction such as anaphoric and cataphoric reference. Anaphoric reference refers to information that has been mentioned immediately before (the left side), meanwhile cataphoric reference refers to the information that comes in the following text (the right side). Both anaphoric and cataphoric reference can be in form of personal pronoun and demonstrative pronoun. Personal pronouns can be in form of enclitic –nya and third person pronoun; meanwhile demonstrative pronouns are the words that determine something, such as this or that. The theory used in this writing is cohesion theory, which is proposed by M.A.K. Halliday, and Ruqaiya Hasan in their book entitled Cohesion in English (1976). Cohesion is the device to show the cohesiveness within the text or paragraph, meanwhile the paragraph is above the sentence level (Riana, 1985:71). Cohesion occurs when the interpretation of the text depends on the interpretation of other elements in the same text
