4.4.3 The Lexico-Grammatical Features Comparison of Narrative Texts
According to Gerot and Wignell 1994:204, a narrative text has the following significant lexico-grammatical features:
1. Focus on specific and usually individualised participants.
2. Use of material, behavioural, and verbal processes.
3. Use of relational processes and mental processes.
4. Use of temporal conjunctions and temporal circumstances.
5. Use of past tense.
Both of Book 1 and Book 2 give the recount texts that have fulfilled all of the lexico-grammatical features. However, both of Book 1 and Book 2 do not give
much texts in the narrative materials. There is only one text in the narrative materials in Book 1, while Book 2
gives two texts in the narrative materials. The narrative text in Book 1 has the complete generic structures of a narrative text and has completed the Basic
Competence of narrative texts in the Curriculum 2013. However, this text does not have the complete significant lexico-grammatical features, because it does not
have any verbal processes. This narrative text has another process besides the main processes that shoud be had by a narrative text, that is existential process
see Appendix 3, page 94 . Both of texts in the narrative texts in Book 2 have the complete generic
structures of narrative texts. However, none of them that have the temporal conjunctions see Appendix 6, pages 113 and 119. Narrative text 2 in Book 2 has
one process besides the processes that are suggested in a narrative text, that is existential process see Appendix 6, pages 119.
The texts in the narrative materials in both of Book 1 and Book 2 do not have the complete significant lexico-grammatical features of a narrative text. However,
all the narrative texts in Book 1 and Book 2 have title as the narrative text suggested by Gerot and Wignell in Making Sense of Functional Grammar book
see Appendix 9, page 124. Book 2 gives more variation of narrative texts than Book 1 that only gives one text in the narrative materials.
