“…Based on the findings found in the three abstracts, starting from the lexical cohesion, the writers of the abstracts conducted the repetition of the words from semantic fields frequently to stay focused on the readers on the track. This confirms the findings, which stated that repetition of the words contributes to keeping track of the participants of the text and makes the reader comprehend the intentions of the writers (Dania, 2018;Kirana et al, 2020). Meanwhile, there were no lexical variations in terms of using a synonym, antonym, hyponym, and meronym in the first, second, and third abstracts.…”

This study aims to determine the lexical and grammatical cohesion of abstracts of STKIP PGRI Lubuklinggau students. The method used is a qualitative case study. The results showed that students made ungrammatical sentences, wrong prepositions, spelling errors, and improper cohesive devices. In conclusion, lexical and grammatical cohesion is used in the abstract. The repetition of words in lexical cohesion keeps the reader on track, while grammatical cohesion is used to describe available references, conjunctions, substitutions to make a good abstract.

Writing research articles is a 'tradition' conducted by students in every learning activity in higher education. This study aimed to analyze the use of grammatical cohesive devices found in the findings and discussion of research articles written by graduate students of English Education. Discourse analysis was employed as the research design and a descriptive qualitative approach was utilized to elaborate the analysis. Qualitative data in the form of text consisting of sentences and clauses containing cohesion were the primary data in this research. The data were obtained through observation and documentation by conducting a preliminary study, collecting the research articles, and verifying the data. The data were analyzed by identifying, classifying, describing, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the students employed all four types of grammatical cohesive devices in the findings and discussion of research articles. The most dominant grammatical cohesive device utilized by the students was reference and conjunction with total use of 2367 and 955 respectively. There was an apparent margin gap between the dominantly used devices and the least employed devices as there were only 5 occurrences of substitution and 12 occurrences of ellipsis. In conclusion, the students preferred to use only two types of grammatical cohesive devices while neglecting the utilization of the other types. Moreover, this study will hopefully provide suggestions for students on how to use grammatical cohesive devices and additional guides for teachers in teaching students on how to compose a well-organized research paper.

“…Learning about lexical cohesion is very important, especially in producing academic works. Kirana et al (2020) asserted that the teacher should teach the learners how to write using cohesion devices and read a text written by natives to familiarize them with the imperative role of cohesion and minimize errors in writing a text. Similarly, Puspita et al (2019) expressed that using lexical cohesion can convey the meaning of the text on the whole to the reader.…”
