Cohesion

Definition of Cohesion :

            Cohesion is an syntactic organization,  sentences  arranged with  coherent and solid to produce speech. Cohesion is the relationship between sentences in the discourse, in the level of grammatical or  lexical. cohesion is a harmonious relationship between the elements of one with the other elements so as to create good meaning  slick and coherent.
            A text or discourseactually cohesion  if there is conformity to the language context. Incompatibility with context shapes language will result the text  not cohesive.

Example: 

            Electricity have many uses. My parents subscribed electricity from PLN.  One day, electricity budget increase until 25%, so many people are complaining. As a result, many electricity customers to make savings. The amount of equipment that uses electrical current to increase. Tools that amount of power is AC or air conditioner.  On the Offices now use the air conditioner was used alone, not a luxury.

How the way to create Adequate & Inadequate Cohesion paragraph ?

Inadequate Cohesion

In 1997, rice production fell 3.85 percent. Increased rice imports, estimated to be 3.1 tons in 1998. achieved self-sufficiency in 1984, in 1985, we exported 371.3 thousand tons of rice, even 530.7 thousand tons in 1993. in 1994, we come up short rice trade balance of 400 thousand tons. And increased rice imports in 1997 reached 2.5 million tons.

            The above paragraph suggests a main idea, namely the issue of the rise and fall of Indonesia's rice production. Thus the coherence of the sentence are met, but the paragraph is said not to have good cohesiveness that the elusive idea. The paragraph needs to be improved, for example by providing the following preposition.

Adequate Cohesion

In 1997, rice production fell 3.85 percent. As a result, rice imports increased, estimated to be 3.1 tons in 1998. After self-sufficiency achieved in 1984, in 1985, we exported 371.3 thousand tons of rice, even 530.7 thousand tons in 1993. However, in 1994, we come up short rice trade balance of 400 thousand tons. Since then, rice imports increased and in 1997 reached 2.5 million tons.

DIFFERENT BETWEEN COHESION AND COHERENCE

Cohesion is a harmonious relationship between the elements of one with the other elements so as to create good meaning  slick and coherent. If Coherence refers to the extent to which the flow of ideas in a paragraph is easily understood by the reader.

Cohesion Example:

Electricity have many uses. My parents subscribed electricity from PLN.  One day, electricity budget increase until 25%, so many people are complaining. As a result, many electricity customers to make savings. The amount of equipment that uses electrical current to increase. Tools that amount of power is AC or air conditioner.  On the Offices now use the air conditioner was used alone, not a luxury.

Coherence Exampe:

I live with my parents, not live in boardinghouse like My friends. At least 60% My friends who stay in boardinghouse, They choose stay in boardinghouse because the home location with campus location so far away. And it’s all is the reasons why I not lecture in other university except Muhammadiyah University of Metro”.

 

NAGEN VILLAGE

Nagen village is a village that located on west java. In this chance, i’m with five my friends from Boy Scouts association visit to that village. Based on information tat we get, if that place have many good view enenthough that place so dry. But its all our chalenge to get new experience.

The trail to Nagen Village is hot and dusty. You can hike the trail or you can hire a guide to take you on horseback. the trail you see only tree, dry earth, and field like Savana on South Africa. It is very dry for this is progress country. Not to much water on thr trail maybe can I mention there is no water. Nor is there any shade. As you enter the village you pass by several worst homes, with small size, wall with bamboo, and a roof with a black straw, and some home also there are used dry palm leaf that arranged to be neat.

But although this village so var away from city, villagers in this village have used electricity, based from one of villager say, if electricity have many uses. Villagers subscribed electricity from PLN with governor service. but  one day, electricity budget increase until 25%, so many people or villagers are complaining. As a result, many electricity customers to make savings. However ,The amount of equipment that uses electrical current to increase.

It is a quiet place or village with free crowded. On the street, dogs are sleeping in their doorway. Villagers just stand and smile watch me, yet they seem friendly. In the centre of the village are a small villa or an lodging for the night with a food stall, a sovenir shop, and post office. At the opposite, end of the village, the trail leads to a cliff overlooking the canyon below. All of those sceneries indicate that this village is waterless.

REASONS :

·         The example from above discourse kohesion, because used kohesion repeat, like electricity which in repeat.
