  COHESION Cohesion refers tothe resources within language provided by clause structure and clause complexes. Hence, cohesive relation are non structural relations which work to' help a text hang together. ( Halliday, 1994 : 4 ). The concept of cohesion is semantic one, it refers to relation of meaning that exists within the text and define it as a text. Cohesion occurs where the interpretation of some element in the discourse is dependent on that of another. There are two kinds of cohesion. First is grammatical cohesion and second is lexical cohesion.

  GRAMMATICAL COHESION  Grammatical Cohesivedevices help text hang together or be cohesive, that means they contribute to what Hasan terms of a text’s unity of texture. The schematics structure of text, in turn provides a text with unity of texture. Texture result from the combination of semantics configuration of two kinds: those of register and those of cohesion.  According to Halliday and Hasan (1976) there are four types of grammatical cohesive devices. Those are reference, ellipsis, substitution, conjunction,

  REFERENCE Reference creates cohesion bycreating links between elements. Reference refers to system which introduces and track the identity of participant through text (Gerot and Wignell 1994: 170). As a general rule, therefore, reference items may be anaphoric and cataphoric, 1.Anaphoric 2.Cataphoric

  ANAPHORIC  Anaphoric referencesignifies a word or a phrase that refers to another word or phrase used earlier in the text. For example: A: Can I have an egg and bacon burger? B: Would you like cheese with that? A: yes, …and…..a large fries please. B: Would you like any drinks or a dessert with that? A: No, thanks. or Stephen Downes denigrates restaurants and, in fact the very food which he is, sadly, in the position of judging. He has a happy knack of putting the reader completely off by his disgusting description.

  CATAPHORIC  Cataphoric referencedescribes the use of a word or phrase that refers to another word or phrase which is used later in the text. Cataphoric reference is less common in speech but can be used for dramatic effect in writing. It occurs when the reader is introduced to someone as an abstract, before later learning his or her name. For example: When I told him, Bill didn’t really believe me.

  ELLIPSIS Ellipsis is anothercohesive device which can be improving the readers understanding of a piece of writing. It happens when, after a more specific mention words are missed out when the phrase need to be repeated. Ellipsis can be divided into: a. Nominal ellipsis Example: My kids play an awful lot of sport Both (my kids) are incredibly energetic. In the example above the personal pronoun my kids is omitted.
• 8.
  ELLIPSIS b. Verbal ellipsis Example: A:have you been working? B; yes I have (been working) In the dialogue above the verb been working is omitted. c. Clausal ellipsis Example: A; Paul’s staying for dinner, isn’t he? B: is he? He didn’t tell me (he was staying for dinner) In the example above the clause he was staying for dinner is omitted.
• 9.
  SUBSTITUTION  Substitution isvery similar to ellipsis in the effect; it has on the text, and occurs when instead of leaving a word or phrase out, as in ellipsis, it is substituted for another, more general word. The distinction between substitution and reference is that substitution is a relation in the wording rather than in meaning. It is a relation between linguistics items, such as words or phrases; whereas reference is a relation between meanings. Substitution can be divided into: a. Nominal substitution Example: A: There are some new tennis balls These ones have lost their bounce. In the text above the noun tennis balls is substituted with ones A: I’ll have two poached eggs on toast, please B: I’ll have the same In the text above the poached eggs on toast is substituted by same
• 10.
  SUBSTITUTION b. Verbal substitution Example: A:have the children gone to sleep? B: they must have done. In the example above the verb gone to sleep is substituted by done. Does she sing?-yes she does In the text above the verb sing is substituted by does c. Clausal substitution Example; A: Is it going to rain? B: I don’t think so. In the dialogue above, the clause going to rain is substituted by so.

  CONJUNCTION Conjunction creates cohesionby relating sentences and paragraph to each other by using words from the class of conjunction or numerals. Conjunctive relations typically involve contiguous elements up to the size of paragraphs-and possibly beyond, or their equivalent in spoken language, conjunction is a way of setting up the logical relations that characterize clause complexes in the absences of the structural relationship by which such complexes are defined. Conjunction can be divided into: 1. Temporal conjunction: after, while, when, meanwhile, before, then, after that, an hour later, finally, at last, at once. For example: Mr. Hiram B. Otis bought Canterville Chase. Then his family came to England from America.

  CONJUNCTION 2. Causal conjunction:because, so, then, therefore, nevertheless, thus, hence, consequently, for this reason, it follows that. For example: Rain started to fall, so the family went inside the house quickly. 3. Additive conjunction: and, and also, in addition, moreover, or, or else, further, further more, additionally, for instance, alternatively, by the way, in other words, in same way, similarly. For example: No one has put s ghost in museum. And you haven’t seen this ghost either.
• 13.
  CONJUNCTION 4. Adversative conjunction:but, however, in any case only, instead, yet, on the other hand, despite this, on the contrary, in fact, anyhow, though, nevertheless. For example: “Yes, I will’ sad Lord Canterville. ‘But, please remember, I told you about the ghost before you bought the house”.

  LEXICAL COHESION According to Paltridge(2000:134), lexical cohesion refers to relationship among lexical items in – a text and, in particular, among content words. The main kinds of lexical cohesion are repetition, synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy, meronymy, and collocation. 1. Repetition refers to words that are repeated in the text, as well as words that have changed to reflect tense or number such as feel and felt, feeling and feelings. 2. Synonymy refers to the relationship between words that are similar to meaning such as customers and patrons. 3. Antonymy refers to opposite meaning such as good and bad, happy and sad.
• 15.
  LEXICAL COHESION 4. Hyponymy refersto classes of lexical items where the relationship is one of 'general - specific' or ' a type of', such as entree and main course. 5. Meronymy refers to lexical items which are in a whole-part relation, such as the relationship between main course, potatoes and broccoli; and fish, bones, and scales. 6. Collocation describe associations between words that tend to co- occur, such as, combinations of adjectives and nouns, as in 'quality product', 'snide remarks' and ' discerning customers'. It also includes the relationship between verbs and nouns such as eat and food, and pairs of nouns such as friends and neighbors.
