CHAPTER IV FINDING AND DISCUSSION 4.1 Finding 4.1.1 Type of Grammatical Cohesion 4.1.1.1 REFERENCE According to Hasan and Halliday (1976:31), Reference is the specific nature of the information that is signalled for retrieval. In the case of reference the information to be retrieved is the referential meaning. Identity of the particular thing or class of thing that is being referred to; and the cohesion lies in the continuity of reference, whereby the same thing enters into the discourse a second time. There are three kinds of references: the first is personal references, the second is demonstrative reference, and the last is comparative reference. 4.1.1.1.1 Personal References According to Hasan and Halliday (1976:37) Personal reference is reference by means of function in the speech situation, through the category of person. The category of personal consists of three classes of personal pronouns, possessive determiners (usually called ’possessive adjectives’), and possessive pronouns. The examples of personal reference are: I, me, my, mine, you, your, yours, we, us, our, 30 31 ours, they, their, theirs, them, it, its, she, her, hers, he, him, his, one, one’s. Example: My husband and I are leaving. We have seen quite enough of this unpleasantness. (Hasan and Halliday, 1976 : 50) From That example, there are three personal references. The words are “My, I, We”. The word “My” is as possessive adjective. It means The speaker’s husband. Then the words “I” and “We” are categories as personal pronouns. The word “I” is refer to the speaker and the word “We” is refer to the speaker and her husband.
