used to express our thoughts, needs, emotions, feelings, etc with one another. That is
why it is important to use language correctly and well to avoid misunderstanding or
mistakes in interpreting the thoughts, needs, emotions, feelings, etc. But of course it
is not enough to produce language which only has right grammar, but it also has to be
cohesive in its pattern. This thesis deals with cohesive device types in terms of
grammatical cohesion and lexical cohesion. The writer discusses cohesive devices
which are occurred in Quarterly Business Magazine of PBE -LATERAL- from the
first edition until the latest edition. The problem which the writer investigates is the
frequency of cohesive types which are often used and how well the cohesive devices
are used in the selected articles. The approach of this study is qualitative and there is
no generalization. The data is taken from Quarterly Business Magazine of PBE -LATERAL
edition 1-4. The data are obtained by collecting the sentence in the
articles she investigates. After that, the writer categorizes each sentence into its own
cohesive types to be investigated further. In analysing the data, the writer uses
Halliday and Hasan's theory in "Cohesion in English " about Cohesive Devices, the
theory of Brown and Yule , and Lottman about Text. For the related studies, she uses
Lindawati's thesis which studied Cohesion of the Text in Hello English Magazine
and Evi Fadjarini 's thesis which dealt with Cohesion in the Articles of the Javanese
Magazine of Penjebar Semangat. From the data analysis, the writer finds that
Substitution and Ellipsis are completely not used in six articles she observed. While
the dominant Cohesive Devices are Personal Reference and Demonstrative Reference.
They take 31.08% and 18.57% of all items. Most articles in this study are cohesive.
There are 97.47% which is Cohesive and 2.53% which is not cohesive, hi terms of
cohesiveness, the writer finally concludes that the quality of those articles is good enough.
