Dwijatmoko, Benedictus Bherman. "Life and Death in Andersen's "Grandmother": A Systemic Functional Grammar Analysis." Jurnal KATA 3, no. 1 (2019): 144. http://dx.doi.org/10.22216/kata.v3i1.4148.
Full textAbstract:
<em>Hans Christian </em><em>Andersen's "Grandmother" is a well-written short story about life and death. The analysis of the story using Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG) reveals the meaning and ideology which the writer expresses through the work. In the ideational metafunction, the story uses the material and relational processes the most. The use of the two processes presents the grandmother and her character vividly and clearly. In the interpersonal metafunction, the sentences mostly use </em>grandmother, she, <em>and other objects related to her as the subject. The use shows how meaningful the grandmother to her granddaugher, the narrator, is. Furthermore, the change of the tense also indicates the significant transformation of the grandmother. Finally, in the textual metafunction, though low, the use of marked themes emphasizes the life phases of the grandmother. The analysis of the text using SFG reveals the centrality of life and death in the story. The analysis of the ideational, interpersonal, and textual metafunctions of the text reveals well the meaning and ideology which the story conveys. Death is only a transform of a life to another life.</em>

Full textAbstract:
This study aims to determine the realization of textual metafunctions 
 and the types of themes that are dominated in speeches about mental 
 health on the TEDxSalem YouTube channel entitled 'Why you should 
 take a break: Prioritizing mental health in schools and brought by 
 Hailey Hardcastle. The method in this research is qualitative with a 
 content analysis approach. The data was obtained from the speech text 
 and the data were analyzed using Halliday's Theory by considering the 
 data analysis steps proposed by Gay et al. From the results of the 
 analysis, it was found that the realization of the textual metafunction in 
 Hailey Hardcastle's speech was applied. Found 105 clauses in the 
 speech. And in those 105 clauses, there are themes and rhymes that 
 mediate messages to their listeners. So it can be concluded that based on 
 the textual metafunction perspective, the speaker tries to attract the 
 listener's attention to focus more on the message of what is being said, 
 and gives a lot of statements to tell the listener his confession that 
 mental health should be considered the same as physical health and 
 preferably starting at an early age.

Full textAbstract:
As student-leaders are tasked to manage their respective student-organizations and protect the interest of whom they represent, they are expected to be fluent communicators. Hence, they need to be conscious of the way they generate their utterances and text by considering appropriate language functions. This survey type of research determined the extent of utilization of language metafunctions in supervisory communication by teacher education student-leaders in a state university at Malvar Batangas, Philippines. By employing a researcher-made questionnaire as a primary tool for obtaining data and applying appropriate statistical tools, the study revealed that the respondents utilized the ideational language metafunction as they influenced their fellow members to actively participate in activities initiated by their respective organizations through citing favorable and positive personal experiences, the interpersonal metafunction as they listened willingly to the suggestions and complaints expressed by their colleagues during various fora, and the textual metafunction as they solicited in a friendly manner their colleagues’ suggestions for the improvement of their organizations during meetings. This study calls for enhanced supervisory communication skills among student-leaders through capacity building communication-related activities.

Full textAbstract:
The objectives of this paper is to describe and explain the experential, interpersonal, textual meaning and schematic structure of students’ descriptive writing. This research used descriptive qualitative approach with content and Interview analysis as a tehnique. Descriptive texts which is written by students are the source data in this research. Source data are analyzed through Systemic Functional Linguistics Theory. It is found that students conveyed the experential meaning by using four process (relational 66,02%, Material 17,22%, Mental 9,09% and Existential 7,65%). The students expressed the interpersonal meaning of descriptive text through declarative, imperative, modality and personal pronoun. It was showed that descriptive mostly dominated with declarative form (98,51). The students expressed the textual meaning for their descriptive text through developing themes and rhemes. Half (57,54%) students had planned the rhetorical development of the text. Seventeen descriptive writing were built with two main stages (identification and description). There are 64,7% text was constructed in not proper stages (schematic structures).

Journal of Science Social Science 66, no. 3 (2021): 101–8. http://dx.doi.org/10.18173/2354-1067.2021-0052.
Full textAbstract:
Children picture books which incorporate a system of words and images devotes the most space to pictures; it, therefore, makes sense to consider images as important as words. To analyse and interpret the interface between text and image, this article proposes to use the language of evaluation of Martin and White (2013) which includes three meta functions (ideational metafunction, interpersonal metafunction and textual metafunction) to to analyse words further developed by Kress and van Leeuwen in Reading Images (2006) with the grammar of visual design framework to analyse pictures portrayed in picture books for children.

Full textAbstract:
It is believed that traditional grammar is no longer appropriate to teach students especially in developing their writing skill. Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) which focuses on meaning and function behind language is now seen to be well-implemented. The study tried to analyse student’s piece of writing on one type of text in which Hotel Industry students as the sample of the study should master known as recount text. Purposive type of sampling was chosen since there was only one text analysed which was seen as the most problematic one. Content analysis as the implementation of qualitative research was chosen as the design of the study. The findings showed that the major problem student encountered mostly on grammatical structures in which there were found some errors on it. Regarding the three metafunctions, it was known that the students had been able to accomplish all criteria of recount text, such as using mostly material processes which deals with ideational metafunction, using correct tense and subject to fulfil the mood exists in interpersonal metafunction, and using reiteration and zigzag pattern as representation of textual metafunction. However, since there was problem to overcome, a strategy was proposed known as “POWER” which stands for Plan, Organise, Write, Edit, and Revise, which is hoped to help students developed a well-constructed text fulfilling all sine qua non attributes that recount text has.

Full textAbstract:
This study reconsiders the place and nature of the logical metafunction in systemic theory. Halliday considers logical and experiential as subparts of the ideational metafunction, which he differentiates from the interpersonal and the textual, and he relates specific parts of the lexicogrammar to each metafunction, and each metafunction to a parameter of the context of situation. Here the proposal is to consider the logical component as an added function available for combination with each of the other three, and related equally to each of these, as well as to the field, tenor and mode of the context of situation. Logical meaning is considered independently from the strict structural constraints of recursion, parataxis and hypotaxis. Both projection and expansion are seen as multifunctional and as occurring at all grammatical ranks and at text level. Logical meaning is also seen in relational and existential processes, and as an extra unifying element in systems perceived as overlapping (modality and modulation, comparison and intensification).

Full textAbstract:
According to Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory the structural shape of the clause in English is determined by the three metafunctions — ideational, interpersonal and textual (Halliday 1994:179). In Japanese, the situation is similar as far as ideational (Teruya 1998) and interpersonal (Fukui 1998) meanings are concerned. With respect to the textual metafunction, however, the situation appears to be different. Due to the presence of ellipsis, both anaphoric Subject ellipsis and formal exophoric Subject ellipsis (Hasan 1996), along with the operation of clause chaining, Japanese appears to organise textually over another kind of unit, the Theme unit. This paper will explore the Theme unit as it functions to organise discourse in Japanese, offering grammatical and semantic recognition criteria within a Systemic Functional theoretical framework. Justification for the theorisation of this textual unit will be presented together with a number of examples. In Japanese, the Theme unit is the unit within which Theme and Rheme unfold. Theme is realised by first position in the Theme unit, and the Theme unit can map onto clause simplexes, complexes, clauses within a complex and across sentences (in written texts). The paper will conclude with a discussion of the function of the Theme unit and the nature or status of the Theme unit within the SFL model of language, arguing that the notion is possibly applicable to the analyses of other languages, including English.

Full textAbstract:
This study aims at examining the effect of utilizing the metafunction meanings in teaching Action Pack 12 reading materials of the second semester of the year 2021 on improving Twelfth grade learners’ reading abilities and to determine to what extent the Action Pack 12 reading materials promote the accurate communication skills among Jordanian learners based on the metafunction meaning as part of the SFL. study investigated whether the use of the metafunction meaning available in the reading materials enhance Twelfth grade learners with better understanding of reading materials that would integrate in improving other language skills as well. Therefore, a qualitative research methodology was carried out to examine the extent in which the reading materials comprise metafunction meaning tasks improving learners’ comprehensive reading abilities and communicative skills in English. The findings of the analysis of the study revealed that all the reading materials of Action Pack twelve include metafunction meanings activities and tasks within the three types of meanings which are the ideational, interpersonal and textual meanings varying in their levels’ of difficulty and genres. This tendency to include metafunction meanings in all the reading materials ensures the effectiveness of developing learners’ readings skills and communicative skills to employ the English language in authentic contexts meaningfully in the outer world.

Full textAbstract:
This research aimed to discover the realization of textual metafunction and to discover kinds of mood and theme types dominated in speech since the data itself was Donald Trump’s speech “Recognizing Jerusalem as Israel Capital”. This research employed a qualitative research method and content analysis approach. The data was obtained from the trusted website and the data itself was analyzed by using Halliday’s theory by considering the steps of data analysis proposed by Gay et al. As a result of the analysis, it was discovered that: (1) the realization of textual metafunction in Donald Trump’s speech was applied. 84 clauses found in Donald Trump’s speech, and each clause contained Theme and Rheme which carry the message told the listeners; (2) mood (theme in declarative clauses) were mostly dominated particularly unmarked theme, which had 44 clauses while marked theme 38 clauses. Otherwise, (theme in imperative clauses) were the lowest calculation, it was obtained 2 clauses from the total number of clauses. Meanwhile, (theme in interrogative clauses) was not found, yes or no as well as wh-question; theme types (ideational/topical theme was dominant), it was derived 57 clauses, the second was (textual theme), it was derived 25 clauses and the last was (interpersonal theme), it derived 2 clauses. To sum up, based on textual metafunction perspective, the speaker attempts to get the listeners’ attention to focus on the message of what is being said, and giving many statements to tell the listeners his recognition that Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
