ABSTRAK

AMBAR JATI. A320130096. FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF NARRATIVE
TEXTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEXTBOOK “FLY WITH ENGLISH”.
Skripsi. Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan. Universitas Muhammadiyah
Surakarta. 2016, 95 halaman.
Penelitian ini merupakan analisis teks naratif dalam buku pelajaran tingkat
sekolah dasar (SD) “Fly with English” berdasarkan tata bahasa leksiko dan konteks
dalam cakupan Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik (SFL). Penelitian ini diharapkan
dapat memberikan implikasi dalam pengajaran berdasarkan konteks proses belajar
dan mengajar. Tujuan dari penelitian ini diantaranya (1) menemukan jenis proses,
partisipan dan sirkumstan, (2) mewujudkan makna ideasional, dan (3) menjelaskan
implikasi pengajaran dari analisis teks naratif.
Penelitian ini menggunakan penelitian deskriptif kualitatif untuk
menganalisis permasalahan. Dalam teknik pengumpulan data, peneliti menggunakan
dokumentasi dan observasi. Peneliti menemukan 95 klausa pada teks naratif. Dalam

menganalisis data, peneliti menggunakan tata bahasa leksiko dalam cakupan SFL
untuk menjawab permasalahan yang pertama. Selain itu, peneliti mengacu pada
konteks dalam cakupan SFL untuk menjawab permasalahan kedua, dan peneliti juga
menggunakan konteks belajar dan mengajar untuk menjawab permasalahan ketiga.
Berdasarkan hasil penelitian, terdapat enam jenis proses dalam teks naratif
ini, yakni (1) proses material (40%), (2) proses mental (23,1%), (3) proses relasional
(20%), (4) proses verbal dan tingkah laku (7,4%), (5) proses eksistensi (2,1%).
Proses material sebagai proses yang paling dominan. Peneliti juga menemukan lima
belas jenis partisipan, yakni actor, goal, senser, phenomenon, sayer, verbiage,
carrier, attribute, token, value, receiver, client, recipient, behaver, dan existent.
Partisipan yang paling dominan adalah partisipan dari proses material (35,7%). Hal
tersebut menunjukan bahwa penulis teks sering menggunakan proses kejadian atau
melakukan untuk mengungkap ide atau pengalaman yang sesuai dengan tingkat
pembelajar. Selain itu, peneliti menemukan enam jenis sirkumstan, yakni lokasi,
masalah, cara, penemanan, sebab, dan durasi. Hasil menunjukan bahwa sirkumstan
yang paling dominan ialah sirkumstan lokasi (46,1%). Penulis teks yang
menggunakan banyak sirkumstan lokasi akan memberikan latar yang jelas, sehingga
pembaca akan memahami alur cerita. Implikasi pengajaran dalam SFL di teks naratif
yakni dapat memberikan wawasan guru tentang pengajaran jenis teks dalam proses
pembelajaran. Dalam tata bahasa fungsional, guru dapat mengajarkan ciri

kebahasaan teks naratif dengan cara yang berbeda, yakni dengan memperkenalkan
istilah proses, partisipan, dan sirkumstan dalam klausa teks naratif.

Kata Kunci: SFL, makna ideasional, teks naratif, proses, dan sirkumstan.

ABSTRACT
AMBAR JATI. A320130096. FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF NARRATIVE
TEXTS IN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL TEXTBOOK “FLY WITH ENGLISH”.
Research Paper. School of Teacher Training and Education. Muhammadiyah
University of Surakarta. 2016, 95 Pages.
This study is an analysis of narrative texts in Elementary School textbook
“Fly with English” based on lexico-grammar and context in the framework of
Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). This study is also expected to give the
pedagogical implication based on the context of teaching and learning process. The
aims of this research are (1) finding out the types of processes, participants, and
circumstances, (2) realizing the ideational meaning, and (3) explaining the

pedagogical implication of narrative text analysis.
This research uses descriptive qualitative type of study in investigating the
problem. In the technique of collecting data, the writer uses observation and
documentation. The writer finds 95 clauses in narrative text. In analyzing the data,
the writer uses lexico-grammar of SFL framework to answer the first problem.
Moreover, the writer refers to context of SFL framework to answer the second
problem, and the writer also uses context of teaching and learning to answer the third
problem.
Based on the result, there are six types of processes in the narrative text, those
are: (1) material process (40%), (2) mental process (23,1%), (3) relational process
(20%), (4) verbal and behavioral process (7,4%), and (5) existential process (2,1%).
Material process is the dominant process. The writer also finds fifteen types of the
participants, namely actor, goal, senser, phenomenon, sayer, verbiage, carrier,
attribute, token, value, receiver, client, recipient, behaver, and existent. The most
dominant participant is material’s participants (35,7%). It indicates that the author
often employs the process of happening or doing in order to reveal the idea or
experience that are appropriate with the learner’s level. Moreover, the writer finds
six types of circumstances, that are, location, matter, manner, accompaniment, cause,
and extent. The result shows that the most dominant circumstance is circumstance of
location (46,1%). The author who employs many circumstances of location will give

clear setting of the narrative text, so the reader will understand the plot of story. The
pedagogical implication of studying Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) in
narrative text is to give the insight of the teacher about SFL genre pedagogy in
teaching and learning process. In functional grammar, teacher can teach the language
features in different ways, such as by introducing the terms of processes, participants,
and circumstances that contain in the narrative text clauses.

Keyword: SFL, ideational meaning, narrative text, process, and circumstance.
