ABSTRACT

This research in-depth discusses aspects of grammatical cohesion in the thesis abstracts of Indonesian Language and Literature program students at Semarang State University. The focus of the analysis lies in how students use grammatical cohesion to organize and connect ideas in their abstracts. The research method involves careful analysis of students' abstract texts, with emphasis on the use of pronouns, conjunctions, substitutions, and ellipsis. Through a qualitative descriptive approach, this research aims to identify patterns of use of grammatical cohesion in abstract contexts and evaluate its impact on the clarity and consistency of the information conveyed. The results showed variations in the level of mastery of grammatical cohesion among students. Some abstracts highlight a good understanding of the use of pronouns and conjunctions to form logical relationships between ideas, while others show a tendency towards less use of ellipsis grammatical cohesion. These findings can provide valuable insight into how students apply grammatical cohesion in the context of their thesis abstracts. The implications of this research can support the development of more effective learning strategies in improving students' academic writing skills in the field of Indonesian Language and Literature.
