Abstract. This study is aimed at investigating the types of cohesive devices and their relationship which are found in an article of Time magazine entitled “how covid-19 will shape the class of 2020 for the rest of their live”. In conducting this study, the researchers employ descriptive qualitative as the research design. Meanwhile, in collecting the data, the researcher applied a purposive sampling method by choosing an article in an on line Time magazine. Meanwhile, the text was analyzed using systemic functional linguistics (SFL) especially those contributing to the cohesion of the text, including grammatical and lexical cohesion. The result of this study reveals that the text is “hang-together” which is described by the successfully use of cohesive devices. These patterns indicate that the writer of the article introduces the capacity to create a text with cohesion not only at the clause level but also to create text with better unity, flow and connectedness of information of the whole text. Besides, the use of cohesion in the text can create a relationship between language elements. Furthermore, the text of the article uses some simple cohesive devices such as reference, conjunction, repetition, and synonym.Keywords: cohesion, cohesive devices, language elements, magazine, SFLAbstrak.

Selain itu penggunaan kohesi dalam teks dapat menciptakan hubungan antar elemen bahasa. Lebih lanjut lagi, teks tersebut menggunakan beberapa perangkat kohesif sederhana seperti referensi, konjungsi dan juga pengulangan, dan sinonim.Kata kunci: kohesi,  peranti kohesi, unsur bahasa, LSF, majalah, perangkat kohesif

Abstract

Appraisal appears to be interpersonal meaning system in systemic functional linguistics (Halliday 1994). Appraisal negotiates the social relationship by expressing to the reader or the listener how the one who expresses about people or things. A song must contain a story or meaning behind the lyrics. This study explores the use of amplifications, namely graduation, in lyrics of 5 selected songs by Taylor Swift. The data were taken from the best-selling album of 2022, Midnights, by the American singer-songwriter. The songs discussed in this research were: Anti-Hero, Lavender Haze, Karma, Mastermind, and Midnight Rain. The reasons researchers chose the sampling songs are: (1) the collected data consisting all of the graduation systems, (2) the album is known as the record-breaker in any music category. The type of the research is descriptive qualitative method. The method of the data collection is the researchers listened to the selected songs on the singer’s YouTube channel and then got the transcript lyrics on Genius website. The technique of the data analysis of this study employed the appraisal system by Martin and Rose’s framework 2007. This research aims to discover the categories in the graduation system, force and focus, in the five selected songs from the album midnights. Force and focus still can be classified deeper. In force there are: (1) attitudinal lexis, (2) intensifiers, (3) metaphors, and (4) swearing. Meanwhile Focus consists of sharpen and soften. The finding shows that force happens to be used more often than focus. The observed data found out there are 72 graduation systems from 60 lines. The data mostly contains focus subsystem, metaphors with 32 lines (44,4%). The least graduation subsystem that is used in the data is Sharpen Focus with only 3 lines (4,2%).
