1. References

According to Halliday, reference is the relationship between an element of the text and something by reference to which is interpret in the given in instance. Reference is a potentially cohesive relation because the think that serves as the source of the interpretation may itself be an element of text.
Concerning with the cohesion within a text, it can be provided by relationship
Called co-reference. Brown and Yule (1976: 31) cite, ‘Co-reference forms are forms
Which instead of being interpreted semantically in their own right make reference to
Something else for their interpretation.” So, through co-referential relation, we may
Interpret a text. If the interpretation lies outside the text in the context of situation, the
relationship is said to be an ‘exophoric’ relation which plays no part in textual cohesion. And if the interpretation lies within the text, the relationship is said as ‘endophoric’
relation. Endophoric is divided in two relations. They are anaphora and cataphora. Anaphora is the form of presupposition, pointing back to some previous item and cataphora is the form of presupposition with the presupposed element following:
a. Situational (exphora)
b. Textual (endophora)
- To preceding text (anaphora)
Anaphoric can be seen in the personal reference. Those are as follow:

- To following text ( cataphora) on the contrary cataphoric aspect can be show it in the demonstrative pronoun such as:

The other hand there is also cataphory such as the demonstrative pronoun namely:


2. Substation
Substitution is a relation within a text as replacement of one item by another.
- Nominal: one, ones, same.
- Verbal : do
- Clausal : so, not
There are three kinds of clausal substitution
a. Substitution of reported clause: so it seems, so he said, so I believe, so we were led to understand.
b. Substitution of conditional clause. assuming so and not,
c. Substitution of modality clause for example: will, would, can, could, may, might, must, should, and ought to.

3. Ellipsis
Ellipsis is a process within the text as the omission of an item that required by grammar which speaker /writer assumes are obvious from context and therefore need not be raised.
There are three headings namely ellipsis, verbal ellipsis, clausal ellipsis.
4. Conjunction is rather different from the other kind of cohesive devices. It is nor simply an anaphoric relation. Conjunction is a salient cohesive device because of its function of specifying the semantic connection of clause with the preceding text.
There are four categories of conjunction.
- Additive
1. Simple additive
a. Such as and, and also, and…….. Too.
b. Negative : Nor, and.....not, not either…..neither
c. Alternative : or, or else
2. Complex additive relation (internal): emphatic
a. Additive Such as, further (more), moreover, additionally, besides that, add to this, in addition, and other thing.
b. Alternatively
3. Complex additive relations (internal) de-emphatic
a. Afterthought : incidentally, by the way
4. Comparative relationship (interval)
a. Similar : likewise, similarly, in the same way, in (just) this way
b. Dissimilar : on the other hand, by contrast, conversely
5. Appositive relationships (interval)
a. Expository: that is, I mean, in other words, to put it another way.
b. Exemplificatory : for instance, for example, thus
- Adversative
The basic meaning of the adversative relation is contrary to expectation. The expectation may be derived from the content of what is being said, or from the communication process, the speaker-hearer situation as in the additive we find cohesion on both the external and the internal planes.
1. Adversative relations ‘proper’ (in spite of) (external and internal)
a. Simple: yet, through, only
b. Containing: but
c. Emphatic: however, nevertheless, despite this, all the same.
2. Contrastive relations (‘as against’) (external)
a. Simple: but, and
b. Emphatic: however, on the other hand, at the same time
3. Contrastive relations (‘as against’) (internal)
a. Avowal: in fact, as matter of fact, to tell the truth, actually,
b. in point of fact
4. correcting relations (‘not…but’) (internal)
a. Correction of meaning: instead, rather, on the contrary
b. Correction of wording: at least, rather, I mean
5. Dismissive (generalizes adversative) relations (no matter…, still’) (external and internal)
a. Dismissal, closed: in, any/either case/event, any/either way, whichever
b. Dismissal open-ended: anyhow, at any rate, in any case, however that may be.
- Causal
The simple form of causal relation is expressed by so, thus, hence, therefore, consequently, accordingly, and a number of expression like as a result (of that), in consequence (of that), because of that. Under the heading of causal relations are included the specific ones of result, reason, and purpose. The distinction between external and internal types of cohesion tends to be a little less clear cut in the contexts of causal relations than it is in the other contexts, probably because the notion of cause already involves some degree of interpretation by the speaker. The simple forms thus, hence, and therefore all occur regularly in an external sense, implying some kind of reasoning or argument from a premise.
The following is a summary of the conjunctive relations of the causal type:
1. Clausal relation, general (‘because…so’) (external and internal)
a. Simple: so, thus, hence, therefore
b. Emphatic: consequently, accordingly, because of this
2. Clausal relation, specific
a. Reason: (mainly external) for this reason, on account of this (internal) it follows (from this), on this basis this (internal) it follows (from this), on this basis
b. Result: (mainly external) as result (of this), in consequence (internal) arising out this
c. Purpose: (mainly external) for this purpose, with this in Mind/view (internal) to this end
3. Reserved clausal relations, general
a. Simple: for, because
4. Conditional relations (‘if…then’) (external and internal)
a. Simple: then
b. Emphatic: in that case, that being the case, in such an event
c. Generalized: under the circumstances
d. Reserved popularity: otherwise, under the circumstances
5. Respective relations (‘with respect to’) (internal)
a. Direct: in this respect/connection, with regard to this, here
b. Reversed popularity: otherwise, in the other respects, aside/apart from this.
- Temporal
The relation between the two sentences – that is, their relation in internal
as content- maybe simply one of sequence in time: the one is subsequent to the temporal relation is expressed in its simplest form by then. One important internal temporal conjunction which is linked to the one just discussed is the real what is being said to the particular stage which the communication process has re to here and now of the discourse, as it were. For example:

1. Simple temporal relations (external)
a. Sequential: (and( then, next, afterwards, after that, subsequently
b. Simultaneously: just (then), at the same time, simultaneously
c. Preceding: earlier, before, then/that, previously
2. Complex temporal relations (external0
a. Immediate: at once, there upon, on which, just before
b. Interrupted: soon, presently, later, after a time, sometime, earlier
c. Repetitive: next time, on other occasion, this time, the last time
d. Specific: next day, five minutes later, five minutes earlier
e. Durative: meanwhile, all this time
f. Terminal: by this time, up till that time, until then
g. Punctiliar: next month, at this point/moment, previous moment
3. Conclusive relations (external)
a. Simple: finally, at last, in the end, eventually
4. Sequential and conclusive relations (external): correlative forms
a. Sequential: first…then, first…next, first…second
b. Conclusive: at first…finally, at first…in the end
5. Temporal relations (internal)
a. Sequential: then, next, secondly
b. Conclusive: finally, as a final point, in conclusion
6. Temporal relations (internal): correlative forms
a. Sequential: first…next, first…then, first…secondly
b. Conclusive: …finally, …to conclude with
7. Here and now relations (internal)
a. Past: up to now, up to this point, here to fore
b. Present: at this point, here
c. Future: from now on, hence forward

Television

Television (TV) is the transmission of the pictures and sound from one place to another. It is one of the most important means of mass communication in the world. The television began in 1937 when public broadcasts were made from Alexandria palace in London. Several scientists had worked on developing television including the scot John Logie Baird and Americans Vladimir Zworykin and philo Farnsworth.
Television pictures and sounds are made up of electronic signal produced by camera and recreated by a television set; a TV camera has lenses which focus the picture into a surface that converts light to electronic signals, which can be recorded of video tape. The signals can be turned into radio waves, to be broadcast from radio transmitters, beamed via satellite or sent along cable networks directly to the TV set in homes.
A TV camera has a lens, which focuses the picture into light detectors, which convert light to electronic signals for broadcasting. The main part of the TV is a large, funnel shaped glass tube with a screen at one end. The inside of the screen is coated with strips of chemical called phosphor, which light up when electrons hit them. A beam of electrons is fired at the screen from guns at the back of the tube. Focusing plates, controlled by the TV signal, target the beam on the screen, creating the picture. A mask blocks any electrons. Color TV sets have three-electron beams-one each for red, green and blue.

Career Women and Their Family problems
By: Wahyu Endah
We live with a deep-seated view in our culture that a women’s role in the house. She is to manage everything in the family, from kitchen work to education of the children. She should be there in the family.
That old-fashioned principle has now gone from the society as a result of Kartini’s struggle for emancipation. The first straggle was only limited to education, but it has developed into an overall aspect of life. Nowadays we see more career women than we though we expected. And a large number of them are successful in business.
These career women, however, have to face conflicts in their attempt to balance between career outside the house and family problems. They have to fairly divide their time between family business and career. They have to cope up with their times and their offices. They have to live with the anxieties about childcare. They have problem how to be successful in career and the family.
On the other hand, women who do not take a jobs also worry about whether the family could live one salary, the father’s, instead of two. A career woman will always be annoyed by the possibility on their children being astray. Who then is responsible for the children’s future? Can the working parents assure their children about building their future without close supervision? But then problem is augmented by the family survival. The standing question among career women is whether they could make the time they spend with their children really “quality time”. The quality time, the time in which people can make the best for their benefit, also worries fathers. Working fathers also concerned about the children’s future, social bearing and attitude toward the world. Will the children be able to stand on their own without their parent interfering in preparation?
Another problem with working parents is how to keep is how to keep harmony in the family. This usually felt when the whole family gathers within limited time during the week. Can the children be open of their daily problems with their parents so that the whole family can discuss them to find way out? Stars boys and girls are usually rebellious in the family and are not honest with their parent. In such a situation the mother will usually regret her taking the job just for family economy.
The really successful career woman is one who can still bring success to the children despite her activities outside the family. Can all career women be that wise? See around and will be able to judge for your self.

essential grammar

CLAUSE AND SENTENCE

A. Clause
Clauses are the building blocks of sentences. A clause is a group of words that contains (at least) a subject and a verb. There are two kinds of clauses: independent and dependent.
 Independent clause.
An independent clause contains a subject and a verb and expresses a complete thought. It can stand alone as a sentence by it self. An independent clause is formed with:




For examples:
1. Students normally spend four years in collage
2. I will declare my major now

 Dependent clause
A dependent clause begins with a subordinator such as when, while, if , that, or who. A dependent clause does not express a complete thought and can not stand alone as a sentence by itself. A dependent clause is formed with:




For examples;
1. ….if I declare my major now…
2. …. When they come to the united states….
B. Sentence
A sentence is a group of words that contains at least one subject and one verb.
A sentence expresses complete thought. There are four kinds of sentences in English: Simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound- complex sentences.
• Simple sentence
A simple sentence has one subject and one verb. The subject tells who or what did something. The verb tells the action 9 or condition). These are simple sentences:
Subject Verb
I Study
I Study and work

Notice that the subject in a simple sentence may be compound. My head and neck hurt. Also, the verb in a simple sentence may be compound. For example I study and work.
Note: “Save your Money” is also a complete sentence. The subject “you” is understood and not included.
A sentence may also have a complement( but it does not have to have to). The complement completes the meaning of a verb or adds more information to the sentence. A complement in a simple sentence may be a noun, pronoun, adjective or adverb.
Subject Verb Complement

I Study English (noun)
I don’t understand you (pronoun)
His girlfriend is Smart (adjective)
It isn’t raining now (adverb)

A complement may also be a noun phrase, a verb phrase, or a prepositional phrase.
My father owns His own business (noun phrase)
My girlfriend wants to get married (verb phrase)
The students are reading in the library (proportional phrase)

• Compound sentence
A compound sentence is two or more independent clauses joined together. There are three ways to join the clauses:
1. With a coordinator I enjoy tennis and I hate golf
2. With a conjunctive adverb I enjoy tennis; however, I hate golf
3. With a semicolon I enjoy tennis, I hate golf

Note:
- Coordinators include and, but, yet, or , so
- Conjunctive adverbs include Besides, furthermore, moreover, also, however, nevertheless, nonetheless, otherwise, accordingly, consequently, hence, therefore, thus

• Complex sentence
A complex sentence has one independent and one (or more) dependent clauses. The punctuation depends on the kind of dependent clause:
o With an adverb clause. For example: because grammar is easy, I learned it quickly or I learned grammar quickly because it is easy.
o With an adjective clause. For example: one of my favorite films is like water for chocolate, which is in Spanish.
o With a noun clause. For example: she doesn’t agree that grammar is easy

• A compound- complex sentence
A compound- complex sentence has two independent clauses and one (or more) dependent clauses. For example: Because grammar is easy, I learned it quickly, but it took me several years to master writing.

KNOW AND KNOW HOW

Remember that know followed by noun expresses knowledge.

S KNOW noun
I Know The answer

Avoid using an infinitive after know.

Remember that know how followed by an infinitive expresses ability.

S KNOW how infinitive noun
I Know how To answer The question

EXAMPLES:
Incorrect ; if she knew to drive, he would lend her his car
Correct : if she knew how to drive, he would lend her his car
Incorrect : I don’t know to use the card catalog in the library
Correct : I don’t know how to use the card catalog in the library
Incorrect : Until he came to the U.S to study, he didn’t know to cook
Correct : Until he came to the U.S to study, he didn’t know how to cook.
Incorrect : Do you know to type?
Correct : Do know how to type?

Incorrect : You’ll have to help her because she doesn’t know to do it
Correct : You’ll have to help her because she doesn’t know how to do it

SUBJUNCTIVE VERBS

The subjunctive is a special , relatively rare verb form in English.
Remember that the following verbs are used before that and the verb word clause to express importance.
Ask propose
Demand recommends
Desire request
Insist require
Prefer suggest
Urge

S V that S Verb word
I prefers that she speak With him personality

Avoid using a present or past tense verb instead of a verb word. Avoid using a modal before the verb word.
Note: the verb insist may be used in non- subjunctive in the past tense. For example: He insisted that I was wrong.
EXAMPLES:
Incorrect ; the doctor suggested that she will not smoke
Correct : The doctor suggested that she not smoke

Incorrect : I propose that the vote is secret ballot
Correct : I propose that the vote be secret ballot

Use of the subjunctive
• We use subjunctives mainly when talking about events that are not certain to happen. For example, we use the subjunctive when we talking about events that somebody wants to happen, hopes will happen, and imagines happening. Look at the example: the president request that you be present at the meeting.
• The subjunctive is typically used after two structures:
1) The verbs: ask, command, demand, insist, propose, recommend, request, suggest+ that
2) The expressions: it is desirable, essential, important, necessary, vital + that.
Here are some examples:
- The manager insists that the car park be locked at night
- The board of directors recommended that he join the company
- It is essential that we vote as soon as possible.
- It was necessary that every student submit his essay by the weekend.


ADDITION- BESIDE AND BESIDE

 Besides means in addition to. Beside means near.

Besides Noun adjective Examples
Besides Our dog, We have two cat and a canary
Besides White, We stock green and blue

Beside noun
We sat Beside The teacher

Note: avoid using beside instead of besides to mean in addition
For example:
Incorrect : Beside Marge, three couples are invited.
Correct : Besides Marge, three couples are invited
Incorrect : Beside Domino’s four other pizza places deliver.
Correct : Besides Domino’s four other pizza places deliver
Incorrect : To lead a well balanced life, you need to have other interests beside studying.
Correct : To lead a well balanced life, you need to have other interests besides studying
Incorrect : beside taxi service, there isn’t any public transportation in town.
Correct : besides taxi service, there isn’t any public transportation in town.
Incorrect : Janice has lots of friends beside her roommate
Correct : Janice has lots of friends besides her roommate

 Addition
• Beside
The word beside is a preposition. It means that “close to” or “next to”
Example:
- Come and sit beside me
- Your hat is beside the dog basket
• Besides
The preposition “besides” means in “addition to” or “apart from” As an adverb, it means “furthermore” or and another thing”
Example:
- Besides Craig, who else caught a bass?
(Besides is a preposition in this example. Apart from Craig, who else...)
- Besides, it’s not just about determination.
(Besides is an adverb in this example, furthermore, it’s not just …)
