“…The second dominance of conjunction use was also shown in the previous studies (i.e. Mandarani, 2020;Sudani & Tika, 2017). Sundani and Tika (2017) found that conjunctions including additive, adversative, causal and temporal conjunction were mostly used in the Short Stories Entitled "The TwelveDancing Princesses" by Brothers Grimm And "The Whale Sound" by Roger Dean.…”

“…A study analyzing the grammatical and lexical cohesion of other written discourse, such as a novel, speech scripts, short story, essay, scientific article, magazine, and newspaper have also been conducted ( i.e. Alacron & Morales, 2011;Ali, 2010;Dang, 2020;Hidayat, 2016;Malah & Rashid, 2017;Mandarani, 2020;Ma'wa & Mirahayuni, 2010;Mizopour & Ahmadi, 2011;Pernando & Rahima, 2017;Sari, Ermanto, & Agustina, 2018;Sudani & Tika, 2017;Warid & Lail, 2021;Widiatmoko, 2015).

“…In relation to lexical cohesion research, there have been many studies that have investigated this topic (see Malah & Rashid, 2017;Mirzapour & Ahmadi, 2011;Mandarani, 2020;Murodi et al, 2021;Pernando & Rahima, 2017;Putri, 2022;Sari et al, 2018;Sari & Anindita, 2020), such as Mirzapour and Ahmadi (2011) who analyzed lexical cohesion of the English and Persian scientific article. The findings revealed that repetition was the method of cohesion that appeared most often.…”

Analyzing Grammatical and Lexical Cohesion in A Legendary Short Story Noprival Sekolah Tinggi Ilmu Kesehatan Harapan Ibu Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: noprival@gmail.com (corresponding author) Alfian Universitas Islam Negeri Sulthan Thaha Saifuddin Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: alfian@uinjambi.ac.id Robi SomaUniversitas Jambi, Jambi, Indonesiae-mail: robisoma858@unja.ac.id Abstract:Despite the existence of many studies on cohesion in discourse, little scholarly work reports grammatical and lexical cohesion in a short story. To fill this gap, the present study investigates these two aspects of cohesion in a legendary short story entitled “After Twenty Years.” Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) theoretical framework of cohesion was used to guide the current study. We applied textual analysis as the appropriate approach to find out grammatical and lexical cohesion within the forms of text. The findings in the grammatical cohesions showed that reference had the highest frequency of the total cohesive devices. Also, under grammatical cohesion, conjunctions are found to exist. However, other aspects were not found within this short story, including substitution and ellipsis. On the other hand, repetition was dominantly used lexically among other aspects of lexical cohesion and sequentially followed by repetitions, hyponyms, synonyms, and antonyms. Only one aspect of lexical cohesion, the meronym, was not found. The overall results of the research indicated that the short story was a coherent discourse because both grammatical and lexical cohesion exist properly.

“…A number of researchers have carried out a similar study in relation to previous studies. First, a study by Vidya and Zuhri (2020) entitled 'Grammatical and Lexical Cohesion Analysis of Trump's Speech upon Soleimani Assassination' which has similarities and differences with this research. In reference, the parallels included that the topic of this previous study also used the political context, namely Trump and Soleimani, and the approach used to examine the lexical cohesion of Halliday and Hassan.…”

The aim of this research is to define a linguistic framework based on Donald Trump's manuscript at the 2017 General Assembly since Trump is an influential person in the world and it was essential to note how the impact of his speech could have a strong effect on audiences. This research uses a descriptive qualitative approach to analyze and describe the types of lexical cohesion of HallidayHasan (1976) and Renkema's Theory (2004). In regard, the researchers analyze the most frequently known types of lexical cohesion following the analysis of the data and drawing conclusions based on the results. The findings showed that 80 data were found and 36 data included repetitions, 10 synonyms, 2 general terms, 3 superordinates, 10 collocations, 5 hyponymies, 6 antonyms, 27 anaphoras, and no cataphora and metonymy found in this analysis. After analyzing the results, the most dominant type found was repetition, which meant emphasizing their speech to show how powerful the American and show profound admiration for others.

“…However, the literature additionally shows that cohesion studies still explore both Grammatical and Lexical Cohesion in political speeches (see, for example, Mandarani &Fakhruddin, 2020 andMaretanedhi, 2021). Mandarani & Fakhruddin (2020) analysed cohesion in President Trump's speech on Iranian Army General Qassim Soleimani's assassination by the US; Maretanedhi (2021) anaysed cohesion in Theresa May's Conservative Party Conference speech of 2017.…”

Numerous studies have revealed how Lexical Cohesion supported the fulfilment of political leaders’ persuasion intention in their rhetoric. The purpose of this study was to cross-culturally explore President Obama’s and President Buhari’s Inaugural Speeches to examine the impact of culture on the persuasive functions of Lexical Cohesion in their rhetoric. Therefore, while drawing on Pragmatics, the study adopted a qualitative discourse analysis approach, utilised an eclectic framework of Lexical Cohesion based on Hoey (1991), Martin (1992) and Eggins (2004) to analyse Obama’s and Buhari’s first inaugural speeches. The findings indicate, on one hand, that although Obama deployed more categories and more frequencies of Lexical Cohesion than Buhari did, ‘Repetition’ (50%) was the most dominant source of Lexical Cohesion in each of the two speeches. Moreover, the most reiterated item in the two speeches were personal pronouns, where Obama mostly repeated the pronoun ‘we’, which had inclusive function, and Buhari mostly repeated ‘I’ and the exclusive ‘we’. On the other hand, the findings suggest that Obama utilised Lexical Cohesion mainly for ‘emotional appeals’, ‘audience involvement’, and ‘credibility-building strategies’; while Buhari used Lexical Cohesion for ‘emphasizing his (and his team’s) personal commitment’, ‘building his credibility’, and ‘demonizing past administrations’. Finally, in the light of these findings, the study has drawn two major conclusions: (1) that on the preponderance of repetition of personal pronouns in both the two speeches, the findings suggest that the generic conventions of the use of personalised English in the inaugural address outweigh any culture-specific discourse practices of the two communities; (2) that Obama’s strategies of emotional appeals and audience involvement that enabled him to ‘speak along with his audience’, which contrast with Buhari’s strategies of emphasizing personal commitment and audience-exclusive tone that made him to ‘speak alone’, seem to have rendered Obama’s speech more interactional and more audience-engaging than Buhari’s speech.
