The prosody of this text is more subjective. It is because there are many attitudes here 16 attitudes within 20 clauses. This means the writer
gives his own evaluations and feelings on his text, even, there are some clauses containing more than one attitude.
Furthermore, these attitudes are applied in all parts of the text. Not only in the Reiteration part, but they are also in the thesis, argument even in
the title. Moreover, the sources of the attitudes are almost all monogloss. It is only one heterogloss. This means that most of the attitudes come from the
writer himself. Additionally, 56.25 of the attitudes are negative, and 43.75 are
positive . However, the positive attitudes are not about Miley Cyrus. Miley
Cyrus is evaluated negatively. It means the negativity or positivity of the applied attitudes depends on the subjectivity of the writer. Then, the
conclusion is that the prosody of this text is more subjective.
