Abstract

Cohesion plays an essential part in writing. This study aims to find out what grammatical cohesion device students used in writing. This study is a qualitative study. It was conducted during the semester. Fifteen university students studying essay writing participated as participants of this study. The students’ writing drafts were collected and analyzed. Content analysis was applied. The results showed that the students use two grammatical cohesion devices in their essay writing; references and conjunction. References consist of personal references, demonstrative references, and comparative references while conjunction consists of additive conjunction, adversative conjunction, causal conjunction, and temporal conjunction. On the other hand, there were two grammatical devices that were not found in students writing draft substitution and Ellipsis devices. Thus, those two devices are mostly found in oral communication. It means that the analyzed passages do not expose all of the cohesion devices sufficiently and provide too many highlights on one type which is the reference. This fact showed that the sentences within the text should not be connected by the existence of all cohesion devices. Some of the adequate devices were as much as necessary to create a series of sentences called a text. Some presence of them is already enough to create cohesion.

Abstract

This study aims to study the pattern of use of the Gebe language on Gebe Island, Central Halmahera, North Maluku. Gebe Island is a multi-ethnic island located in Central Halmahera, which was originally an island with a single ethnicity, namely the Gebe ethnicity itself. Over time, social, economic and cultural dynamics have brought about rapid changes in the linguistic life of the Gebe native people. The establishment of a nickel mine on the island in 1978 has invited immigrants from various linguistic backgrounds to come to the island. Designed as a descriptive qualitative study, we identified at least seven domains of language use where the local Gebe language experienced a rapid decline. The causative factors include mobility, inter-ethnic marriage, and minimal effort to transfer this language from the older generation to the younger generation as an effort to preserve the language. Our study has come to a conclusion that the Gebe local language currently requires attention from both its speakers and the government.

Reading and searching for tweets from the @natanattda account is a method of collecting data in this study. The theory applied when conducting this study was proposed by Poplack in Romaine (1995) about analyze the different types of code-switching. Another theory was proposed by Hoffman (1991) about the reasons for using code-switching. In this study, two points were discovered through data analysis. The first point was about the various types of code-switching, including Tag switching, Inter-sentential switching, and Intra-sentential switching. The second point was about the reasons for using code-switching. The most dominant type of code-switching found in the data is Inter-sentential switching. From the seven reasons for using the code-switching theory proposed by Hoffman (1991), only two reasons found from this account's tweets include talking about a particular topic and being emphatic about something (expressing solidarity). The most dominant reason for using code-switching found in the data is talking about a particular topic.
