The Use of Conjunction on "Art and Culture" Articles in Bali Travel News

Abstract

This paper aimed to classify and describe the types of conjunction that used on the text, the meaning expressed by the conjunctions in linking the sentence including the expression which are used. The data was taken from ‘Art and Culture articles in Bali Travel News’. The article was chosen as the Data Source after considering that there were many conjunctions found in it. The main theory used to analyse the conjunction was the theory of Cohesion proposed by Halliday and Hasan. The method used was qualitative descriptive method. There were several steps in presenting the data analysis. Numbers were given to the sentence containing conjunctions. Then the next step was presenting the conjunctions occurring on the texts based on the type conjunctions, completed with the explanations of its meaning on the texts. From the findings the articles were full conjunction. Based on the analysis it can be identified that the four types of conjunction proposed by Halliday and Hasan occur on the texts. Every conjunction has its own meaning on the texts. The additive type expresses the additional information of what stated in the previous sentence, the adversative type expressed the contrastive meaning between sentence, causal relation expresses the causal and result, and temporal relation expresses that the sentences are related in time. Additionally, from the texts most of Conjunctions occurred in the beginning of the sentence. Meanwhile some of them occurred in the middle of sentence.

The Analysis of Conjunction Found in “The Target” Novel by David Baldacci

“…According to research conducted by Sutasoma (2022) finds many additive types of conjunctions, it is also the same as the results from previous researchers conducted by Pasaribu (2019), andMahadewi (2022).

“…The other findings found more dominant types of coordinating conjunctions based on Nita (2020), Situmorang (2022). Theou results of research conducted by Sutasoma (2022), Mahadewi (2022), andPasaribu (2019), stated that they analysed four types of conjunctions. Contrary to Nita (2020) and Situmorang (2022) which shows the existence of two types of conjunctions.…”

“…Meanwhile, Mahadewi"s research (2022) finds data by finding four types of conjunctions but did not explain how many percentages used a table of conjunction types which would make it easier for readers to know the results of her research. Based on Sutasoma (2022) conjunction plays an important role, it acts as a link or connection between one clause to another while Mahadewi (2022) conjunction is linking the sentence including the expression which is used. From these two opinions, it can be stated that conjunction is a connecting word that connects one sentence with another sentence.…”
