Ideational Meaning Procedure of Data Analysis

3.3 Procedure of Data Analysis

The procedure of data analysis relied on two research questions of this research namely 1 what meta-functions are applied in Clara? And 2 what register devices are used in the meta-functions to reveal the ideologies in Clara? The way of how meta-functions; ideational, interpersonal, and textual meaning and are register devices identified and analyzed and how register devices are used in meta-functions with the result that ideologies in Clara are revealed will respectively be analyzed as follow.

3.3.1 Ideational Meaning

Ideational meaning as has been mentioned before covers two devises; experiential meaning and logical meaning. The first ideational meaning experiential meaning can be identified based on Halliday‘s of transitivity approach of systemic functional grammar. The identification of each process can be test and identified based on the verbs contained in the clauses as seen the following table. Table 3.1 The Ways of How Experiential Meaning Analyzed No Process Verb Category Condition Example 1 existential verb be linking Verb there is present as the subject be; is, am, are, was, were, be, been 2 Relational identifying be is followed with a noun phrase be; is, am, are, was, were, be, been Relational attribute be is followed with adjectives be; is, am, are, was, were, be, been Relational attribute non-action Verb The verb is followed by adjectives seem, look, appear, sound, taste 3 Material action Verb The verb is transitive kill, attack, ban, rescue 4 Behavior The verb is intransitive fall, stare at, rise, stand, sink 5 Verbal action Non- action Verb verbal verb say, command, hint, report, show, issue, question, argue, 6 Mental mental verb consider, see, welcome, like Based on the table above, the steps for indentifying transitivity process and participants can be specified as follow. 1. A closed reading is done to specify experiential process and types of subjects; Actor, Senser, Behaver, Sayer, Carrier or so on. 2. These experiential processes then are categorized into specific tables namely table of Material Process, Mental Process, Behavioral Process, Verbal Process, Relational Process, and Existential Process. 3. Each process is then classified based on who speaks those sentences comprised of these processes. The classification aims to build specified perspective based on two main characters. 4. These processes together with where the sentences derived from are analyzed and interpreted to have good understanding on it based on linguistic sides. 5. After doing these steps, a concrete description of experiential meaning is identified, specified, and understood. The second ideational meta-function logical meaning can be identified through logical structure of the clause complex. The following are some steps for logical meaning analysis. 1. A closed reading is done to specify two systems of logical relationship in clauses. 2. Review two systems of logical relationship; taxis and logical semantics which respectively perform to know how two or more adjacent clauses are linked to each other trough relation of dependency and interdependency and to know the type of meanings that allow adjacent clauses to project or expand on each other. 3. Code these clauses based on its systems; if it is taxis, it should be coded by two systems; 1,2,3… for parataxis and α, … for hypotazis. Parataxis stands for independent clause while hypotaxis stands for the dominance of a clause, 4. Yet if it is logico-semantic relation, it should be coded into five systems; [―] and [‗] indicating projection of locution and idea while [=], [+], and [x] are codes indicating expansion which respectively function to code elaboration clause, extension clause and enhancement. 5. Each system is then classified based on who speaks those clauses. The classification aims to build specified perspective based on two main characters. 6. These two systems are analyzed and interpreted to have good understanding on it. 7. After doing these steps, a concrete description of logical meanings are identified, specified, and understood.

3.3.2 Interpersonal Meaning
