Abstract

This study is an analysis of grammaticalcohesion in written labour texts. The corpus for the study consists of five written communiqués of Academic Staff Union of Universities (ASUU) Federal University of Technology, Yola branch. Halliday and Hasan’s (1976) model of cohesion was adopted for the analysis. The result showed prevalence of reference and conjunctive cohesions. The reference cohesions are means by which the writer keeps the reader abreast of all developments in the discourse. Similarly, conjunctions are means by which writers join text elements together in order to convey desired meaning.
