The bold sentence shows the declarative, meanwhile the rest of it is the responses from Chief of Police and others concern with what SBY said SBY’s declarative
sentence. While imperative can be seen in this bold sentence:
[13] To all intelligence reports, whether they are related to the bombing or not, I have instructed to all law enforcers
to perform their duties correctly, objectively, decisively and lawfully.
b. Person Selection
It deals with first person, second person, and third person. Each “person” has a different perspective, a “point of view,” and the three points of view have singular
and plural forms. The singular form of the first person is “I,” and the plural form is “we.” Besides “I” and “we,” other singular first person pronouns include “my,” “us,”
and “our”. The second-person point of view is to address the reader. The second person uses the pronouns “you,” “your,” and “yours.” Meanwhile the third-person
uses “he,” “she,” or “it” when referring to certain things.
The fact, in SBY’s speech there are some personal pronoun which are used, they are ‘I’, ‘my’, ‘you’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘they’, and ‘their’. Based on the definition above,
it can be said that the most dominant person selections used in that speech is the first person point of view. Another reason why first person point of view dominating,
because SBY himself who speak in that speech.
c. Appraisal Motif
It focuses on the different lexical and grammatical systems available to speaker for including their emotions, judgments of people behavior, and their appreciation, so
it can influence the audience’s personal reaction to the meaning in a text. The following is shown the emotions, judgments, and appreciations of speaker based on
the SBY’s speech as the data. Then, it narrows to the positive or negative spin of the whole text.
[14] For all of this, I, as the president, condemn the brutal act of terrorism. [5] These few people, heartless and careless for the destruction of our country from
terrorism, do not care about the vast implications of their brutality toward our economy, business climate, tourism, image in the world and many other factors.
[6] Presently, my brothers and sisters, beside us, the government is performing emergency response
measures to treat the victims of the bombing. An investigation is on the way as well
. Those three paragraphs consecutively show emotions, judgments, and
appreciations of speaker. Praise for SBY and the government that what they done is correct and true action, while the deficiency is not detail enough about what he did
and what he said. Those are the explanation about the interpersonal meaning. As a result of the
analysis and knowledge of context of culture, it can be written in a description which
is contained of Agentive or societal roles, Status, and Social distance as follows: a. Agentive or societal roles
It is roles of the speaker and the addressee. In SBY’s speech, the agentive or societal roles are occurred between SBY as the speaker and the all Indonesian as the
addressee.
b. Status
In some languages, lexical choices are determined by the relative status of speaker and addressee. Status may be equal or hierarchic and temporary or
permanent. In SBY’s speech, SBY acts as the speaker and all Indonesian acts as the addressee. Both of status from the speaker and addressee are so different. So, it can
be concluded that the status between them are unequal.
c. Social distance
