Abstract

The study analyzes the speech of one of the candidates from Democratic Party in American election 2009, Hillary Clinton. The writer uses the descriptive, qualitative method to analyze the data of the research, i.e. to describe the cohesive devices. Afterwards, the writer interprets it to find out the way the cohesive devices create the coherence in the text of Hillary Clinton’s speech Some conclusions can be drawn as follows: Cohesion devices used in the text of Hillary Clinton’s speech are referencing, ellipsis, substitution, lexical cohesion and conjunction. The types of conjunction used are Coordinating conjunction, Correlative conjunction and Subordinating conjunction. In this text, correlative conjunction is not found. Lexical conjunction is basically created by repetition of the same lexeme or general nouns, this category is not found either. Thus, cohesive devices in Hillary Clinton’s speech are creating the coherence in the text. The writer suggests that the language users apply cohesive devices properly in the text which is produced. It can make the audience understand the meaning of the text more easily.
