In their view, a group of sentences composed of discourse have a certain mechanism and the mechanism of this form of discourse known as ‘Moupian mechanism’ (texture). The role of this mechanism is to a group of sentences composed of discourse in a way is to use cohesive devices to link to the context. Convergence is not a structural relationship. In a small sentence, there is convergence between, and the structural relationship itself is a very strong convergence, but not Moupian mechanism. Convergence actually has nothing to do with the sentence boundary, because it is the semantic relations are not subject to structural constraints. The only form of discourse as a means of convergence between the role of the sentence is very prominent. Halliday - Hasan to be grouped into five types of convergence, that is anaphoric (reference), replacement (substitution), omission (ellipsis), connecting word (conjunction), vocabulary connection (lexical cohesion). In which anaphoric, substitution, omission and connect the words are grammatical cohesion means o
