E. Systemic Functional Linguistics
The approach that is going to be adopted on this research is the one proposed by Halliday. It studies language in the perspective of discourse analysis.
It is known as Systemic Functional Linguistics SFL. It focuses on language as a resource of meaning. In the theory, language is viewed from the perspective of
social- semiotic Halliday Hassan : 1985. Linguistics or language is perceived as a system of meaning in relation with social systems and structures, and
language is the medium in which those systems and structures are expressed. This approach contains two fundamental elements of seeing language,
there are Systemic and Functional. It is systemic in the sense that language is based on the theory of meaning as a choice: language is interpreted as networks of
interlocking option Halliday, 1985: xiv . This means that systemic is a theory of choice of meaning and whatever chosen in one system becomes the way to
interpreted another set of choice. It is also functional because the conceptual frame work on which it is based is a functional one rather than a formal one.
There are three distinct although closely related sense : in its interpretation 1 of text. Language has evolved to satisfy human need, and the way it is
organized is functional with respect to these needs. Thus it is functional in a sense
xxx that it is designed to account for language is used. This makes SFL view how
language is used rather than how it is formed. 2 of the system. The fundamental component of meaning in language are
functional component. All languages are organized around three main kinds of meaning. They are known as Ideational, Interpersonal, and Textual.
3 of the element of linguistics structure. Each element in a language is explained by reference to its function in the total linguistics system. Each element
of linguistics in a text is considered to be functional which plays a part to construe the text. That is why the SFL provides a comprehensive set of discourse or text
analysis. In other words, each part is interpreted as functional to account how language is used.
Systemic Functional Linguistics theory consists of metafunction process, in which the language expresses meaning. It is classified into three components
i.e: ideational meanings are the meaning about phenomena, about thing, about goings on, and the circumstances surrounding these happening and doing. It is
divided into two, i.e, experiential and logical meaning. The experiential is the language use to reflect the reality of the participant experience. Ideational
meaning are realized in field Santosa, 2003:20 . The interpersonal meaning show the social relationship among participant, social interaction, giving or
demanding information, or giving or demanding good and services. It is realized in tenor. Meanwhile, the textual meaning is a symbol which realizes both
ideational and interpersonal meaning. It is realized in Mode Ibid; 21. All
xxxi elements in language are explained by reference to its function in total linguistics
system. They determine the text related to the context in which it is used.
