Martin in Sinar 2008: 64 says: Genre are referred to as social processes because members of a culture interact with each other to achieve them; as goal oriented because they have evolved to get things does; and as staged because it usually takes more than one step for participants to achieve their goals. According to Martin in Sinar 2008: 66, language is a part of society culture and genre is a language harmony as a product of the society culture. In other words, a writer or a speaker from the group of culture uses a language, sets up the interaction socially and becomes the producer of genre. Martin and Hasan in Sinar 2008: 68 say that the division of register as a semiotics system of context of situation with genre as the semiotics system of context of culture brings an important discovery in the development of Systemic Functional Theory. Refnaldy, dkk 2006: 643 argues that culture does not exist without discourse. Discourse gives structure and contents to what we understand by culture. In this view, discourse analysis becomes an umbrella concept not only for text studies, but for language and interaction studies in general. The impacts of addressing questions of ontology have far-reaching consequences. For example, everybody will agree that ‘context’ is one of the most crucial concepts in pragmatics. However, in contextualization itself is to be seen in term of discourse, the status of any presumed common denominator for understanding will be questionable.

The harmony of schematic structure is as the aim that is suitable with the kinds of genre. The writer or the speaker of genre is pleased to be understood the discourse schematic structure to fulfill their needs before the process of discourse writing begins. So that, the writing of discourse is suitable with the needs that can reach the target.
