Keywords: Cohesion, Reference, Endhoporic INTRODUCTION Language is a communication tool for human. Communication through speaking is useful to convey what we mean to the listener. Communication as the implementation of language as a means of regulating affairs (Parmawati, 2018). Language has a system and rule called grammar. It is imperative because with grammar we can understand a language easier. Based on Lado (1975) cited in (Bäuerle et al., 2012) grammar is a rule in language that aims to tell the right way to use language. However in grammar greater recognition on the formal properties of language rather than the meaning of the language (Coulthard, 1992).

Cohesion not always focuses on grammar but also on vocabulary. Grammatically, cohesive device consist of lexical cohesion, conjuction, substitution, ellipsis and reference. In this research focus on reference. References enter the type of cohesion which refers to other language(Emilia et al., 2018). Based on (Bloor & Bloor, 2013) reference is diveded in endhoporic and exophoric. To get an exophoric references, the reader can find it outside the text in an immediate environment with the reader and writer (Bahaziq, 2016). It is due to the fact endophoric can be found in the textual content itself. Endophoric is diveded in two types, anaphoric and cataphoric. Anaphoric is a reference that regarding to something that has appeared at a previous point
