Abstract

This research aimed to describe the use of Coherence in the thesis abstracts of the graduate program of the English Education Department of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. The descriptive qualitative analysis was used as the methodological design of this research that attempted to describe the phenomenon of discourse analysis, especially about coherence in the abstracts of the graduate program of the English Education Department of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. Some steps were conducted to collect the data, in which ten chosen abstracts were collected from the repository of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta and analyzed to examine the types of Coherence proposed by Kehler (2002), the topical subject and the topical progression to see how they build coherence in the abstracts. This research shows that four out of eleven types of Coherence proposed by Kehler (2002) are used in twenty abstracts, including Parallel, Contrast, Generalization, and Explanation. Meanwhile, the topical subject shows mood as the dominant topical subject with a 91.74% percentage. In Addition, Sequential progression is a dominant Type of Topical Progression. Furthermore, Discourse Topic is hard to analyze because the abstracts only have one paragraph, so the discourse topic is analyzed based on the terms that frequently emerge to interpret the discourse topic. Finally, this study is expected to contribute to the development of language study, especially for Discourse Analysis, and it is also hoped to contribute to the education field, especially for university students, to improve the quality of English writing in abstracts of their research papers.
连贯性标记在英语研究生期末学术写作摘要中的应用
本研究旨在描述连贯在雅加达大学英语教育系研究生课程论文摘要中的使用。本研究采用描述性定性分析作为方法设计,试图描述语篇分析现象,特别是关于雅加达大学英语教育系研究生课程摘要中的连贯性。我们采取了一些步骤来收集数据,其中从unin Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta数据库中收集了十篇精选的摘要,并分析了Kehler(2002)提出的连贯性类型、主题主题和主题进展,以了解它们如何在摘要中建立连贯性。本研究表明,在Kehler(2002)提出的十一种连贯类型中,有四种在20篇摘要中使用,包括平行、对比、概括和解释。同时,话题主语以情绪为主,占91.74%。此外,顺序进展是局部进展的主要类型。此外,由于摘要只有一个段落,因此很难分析话语主题,因此对话语主题的分析是基于经常出现的术语来解释话语主题。最后,本研究希望对语言研究,特别是语篇分析的发展有所贡献,也希望对教育领域,特别是大学生,提高其研究论文摘要的英文写作质量有所贡献。
