The study reveals that the words/utterances in the First SONA of the Female Philippine
Presidents utilize two grammatical cohesions namely: reference conjunctions. It also
reveals that the cohesive and coherent features found in the First SONA of the Female
Presidents are the use of reference and conjunctive as the dominant type of grammatical
cohesion found that makes the meaning of the idea conveyed comprehensible to the
listeners. Moreover, it also reveals that the words/utterances in the First SONA of the
Female Presidents utilize the six types of language functions. Each of them has two
number of utterances. The first one is referential which includes expressive or emotive,
conative or directive, poetic, phatic types of language functions, while the other one is
metalingual function that only consist only of one utterance on the SONA. Furthermore,
the vital role these cohesions ties and coherent features in the text is that the speaker is
fundamentally lead the listeners linking phrase to sentences and sentences to paragraph

understanding on the part of the listeners. Hence, these cohesive and coherent word
