This thesis will examine the distribution of some cohesive means in written newspaper reporting, namely it will deal with four categories of grammatical cohesion: conjunction, ellipsis, reference and substitution. The theoretical part will introduce the concept of cohesion and will elaborate on its importance for comprehensibility of the discourse. It will also mention relevant features of the language of the press. The practical part will analyse actual language material consisting of altogether 30 articles taken from six various British newspapers: the Guardian, the Telegraph, the Independent, the Sun, the Mirror and the Daily Mail.
