Abstract
ABSTRACT
There are a great number of articles provided in printed mass media. These articles are numerous in term of grammatical cohesion devices they used. One of them is conjunction. It is a means that is very needed in order to make sentences
or clauses in the article are related to one another, A to B, B to A, and so on. In other words, it is an important means that can make sentences or clauses cohesively related so that the sentences or clauses are clearly interpreted and easy to be understood. Besides, this conjunction has many types and each of them has different function. Related to those phenomena, the research problems are formulated as the following questions: ³What are the types of conjunction used in Newsweek magazine?´, ³Which type of conjunction is mostly used in Newsweek magazine?´ and ³What are the functions of conjunction used in Newsweek magazine?´
This study uses descriptive qualitative design in which the data are taken
from the articles of world view section of Newsweek magazine published from January 2008 up to May 2008. The data collected are classified into several types and described as well as its function using theory of conjunction proposed by Halliday and Hasan.
The findings of this study show that there is a lot of conjunction in articles of world view section of Newsweek magazine published from January 2008 up to May 2008 including additive conjunction divided into simple additive relations, complex additive relations (emphatic), complex additive relations (de-emphatic), comparative relations, and appositive relations; adversative conjunction divided into adversative relations (proper), contrastive relations, correction relations, and dismissive relations; causal conjunction divided into general causal relations, specific causal relations, reversed causal relations, and conditional relations; temporal conjunction divided into simple temporal relations, complex temporal relations, conclusive relations, correlative relations, µhere and now¶ relations, and summary relations. Furthermore, the result shows that additive conjunction is the most type used in the articles which mostly expressed by simple additive relation using conjunction ³and´.
Finally, from those findings, it is expected that this study will be useful for student in improving the mastery of conjunction and its function, and lead the next researchers who conduct the same field of research as the reference or comparison that might be relevant to their researches. Furthermore, it is expected for them to focus on the simple additive conjunctions because these kinds of conjunctions are mostly found in this stud y. At last, it is also expected to the lecturers to provide
the students with sufficient explanation of respective conjunction, since this stud y
does not find this type in the articles.
