| Summary: | This study aims to find out grammatical cohesion in the story "All Gold
Canyon" by Jack London basing on the theoretical framework by Halliday and
Hasan (1976). The research findings show that grammatical cohesion is used in a
very high rate to connect the
text together. Furthermore, among different types of
grammatical cohesive devices, reference and conjunction account for most of
cohesion with 74% and 24% respectively, which shows that the text is highly
cohesive. Substitution and ellipsis, in contrast,
take up only 1% for each type. This
may indicate that there are few conversations among characters. In other words, the
imbalance use of cohesion helps depict the writing style of literary documents in
general and of Jack London in particular. |
