in "Mr. Pecut" Columns of Jawa Pos Newspaper. The research problem that
comes up in this research is: in what way are cohesive devices used in "Mr.
Pecut" pair of sentences. For the analysis, she uses theory of cohesive devices by
Halliday and Hasan (1976). Of the forty cohesive devices in "Mr. Pecut" pairs of
sentences, she found out that ellipsis is the type of cohesive devices, which are
often used. For the semantic basis of cohesion, continuity of lexicogrammatical
meaning is the type that most often occurs. From the findings, the writer
concludes that the pairs of sentences of "Mr. Pecut" columns are entertaining but
it is also challenging, because to some degree they also require thinking process
on the part of the readers.
