Third, most of the previous studies of interpersonal meanings have been studied by the students of English Department of State University of Semarang
are one way communication such as speech. Therefore, I am interested in analyzing two way communication such as conversation. Furthermore, this study
directly observes from the subjects of the data, the tour guide and foreign tourists. It is more complex than analyzing speech, novel, or song because the subject of
the data is more than one person. The analysis of interpersonal meanings on conversation is more complicated because different subject may deliver their idea
using different mood, modality, and attitude. Fourth, by analyzing the conversations between a tour guide and tourists
in Prambanan Temple, I learn and show about the culture, history, folktales, and the beauty of Prambanan, one of Indonesia‟s tourism icon.
1.3 Research Questions
The problems discussed in this study are presented in the following questions: 1
What are Moods realized in the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple?
2 What are Modalities realized in the conversations between a tour guide
and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple? 3
How are Attitudes realized in the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple?
1.4 Objectives of the Study
The objectives of this study are as follows: 1
to describe the realizations of Moods in the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple.
2 to describe the realizations of Modalities in the conversations between a
tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple. 3
to describe the realizations of Attitudes in the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple.
1.5 Significance of the Study
Theoretically, the result of the study is expected to be a source and reference for further language research especially for researchers who are interested in
analyzing the realization of interpersonal meaning in conversation. Practically, the result of this study will give knowledge to the students
who learn language especially English to be able to choose the appropriate words for speaking practice. I hope that this study will increase
readers‟ awareness in delivering their intention. Grammar and word-choice are very important in
creating the interpretation. Pedagogically, this study is expected to be useful for English Department
students who concern in interpersonal meanings. I hope that it will improve knowledge and deliver more understanding of interpersonal meanings both spoken
and written.
