probably gives uncertainty response to the actor. However, The presence of existential
process in dialogue 4 also suggests that the actions are framed taking place within settings
which are asserted simply as existing. The sentence “That sounds good to me” indicates
the proportion of mental process in the dialogue signals conscious cognition, rather
than bodily behavior. It is the reaction towards the action. In addition, the appearance of

2. Contextual description of dialogue 4
Ideational meanings Interpretation
Experiential Domain
Inviting to see an exhibition
Short-term goal:
Learning to invite friend
Long-term goal:
The experiential domain of the dialogue 4 focuses on the invitation conducted between
student and student. Thus, the short –term goal in dialogue 4 focuses on the way of the student
to express his invitation upon another student. The two students learn to invite each other.
Sugeng’s invitation to look at an exhibition
maintains the relationship between
them. The question sentence Would you like to go?”
indicates the way of the student to invite his friend. So, the long term-goal of the activity
conducted in dialogue 4 is that the student’s invitation conducted by Sugeng, a friend of
Dona, is done to maintain a relationship between them. Again, the expression “what
about tomorrow evening” indicates Sugeng’s expression to maintain relationship. The
response towards the invitation is supported by the use of mental process “sound” in the
dialogue as follows: Dona : What about tomorrow evening?
Sugeng : Ok. That sounds good to me As the example shows, Sugeng’s response
ensures that Sugeng agrees with Dona’s offer to go on tomorrow evening.
