ABSTRAK
Skripsi yang berjudul “An analysis of Lexical Cohesion in Selected Articles of Jakarta Globe E-Paper”, adalah sebuah analisis tentang kohesi leksikal yang terdapat dalam artikel berita online sebagai suatu wacana (discourse). Ada lima jenis kohesi leksikal yang dibedakan menurut teori Halliday dan Hasan, yang dapat diidentifikasikan melalui kalimat-kalimat (sentences) yang membentuk kesatuan dalam sebuah teks atau wacana, dan sangat berperan dalam menghubungkan kalimat dalam teks secara konsisten sehingga pesan yang ingin disampaikan dan dibicarakan dalam teks dapat tersalur dengan baik kepada pembaca. Kohesi leksikal menggambarkan bagaimana kata-kata dalam sebuah teks yang berhubungan satu sama lain dalam suatu susunan yang sistematis. Data analisis diambil dari dua belas artikel berita online dengan menggunakan teori Arikunto, yaitu sampel bertujuan atau purposive sampel, sedangkan untuk menghitung data digunakan teori Nawawi. Dari pembahasan lima jenis kohesi leksikal ini ditemukan bahwa repetisi adalah jenis kohesi leksikal yang paling dominan (76,32 %) karena pada umumnya sebuah teks memberikan suatu berita informatif yang ditulis secara mendetail dan deskriptif sehingga pengulangan terhadap sebuah kata (baik yang menjadi subjek maupun objek) dalam kalimat sering terjadi. Sinonimi juga banyak ditemukan dalam teks sebagai bagian dari perbendaharaan kata (10.9 %). Meronimi yang merupakan bentuk kolokasi kata juga dijumpai meskipun tergolong kecil (4.89 %). Antonimi juga ditemukan di setiap teks dalam analisis ini (4.51 %). Sementara Hiponimi, yang sangat jarang terdapat di dalam teks, merupakan jenis kohesi leksikal yang paling sedikit digunakan (3.38 %).
ABSTRACT
Thesis entitled "An Analysis of Lexical Cohesion in Selected Articles of the Jakarta Globe E-Paper", is an analysis of lexical cohesion contained in the online news article as a discourse. There are five types of lexical cohesion is distinguished by Halliday and Hasan's theory, which can be identified through sentences that make up the unity in a text or discourse, and was instrumental in connecting sentences in the text consistently so that the message to be conveyed and discussed in text can be properly received by the reader. Lexical cohesion illustrates how the words in a text are related to each other in a systematic arrangement. Data analysis was taken from twelve online news articles by using the theory of Arikunto, purposive sampling, whereas the data is calculated by using the theory of Nawawi. From the discussion of the five types of lexical cohesion is found that repetition is a kind of lexical cohesion appeared most dominant (76.32%) in the text because in general a text gives an informative message written in detail and descriptive so that the repetition of a word (both the subject and object) in the common phrase. Synonymy is also found in the text as part of the variation of vocabulary (10.9%). Meronymy, which is a form of word collocation also encountered although relatively small (4.89%). Antonymy is also found in every text in this analysis (4:51%). While Hyponymy, which is very rarely found in the text, is a kind of lexical cohesion least used (3:38%).
