CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION
1.1 Background of the Study
Language is used to share idea. It is including persuading people. The meaning of ‘to persuade’ is to make someone agree to do something by giving him/her good reasons for doing it, such as: using cosmetics products, buying vehicles or making infestations. To persuade is one of the main purposes of advertisements.
Advertisement as a promotion tool has an important role in the effort to make marketing of products to be successful. It is used to convey certain information about products, services, or ideas to the target markets. A good advertisement can attract the target markets to be aware of the product, and then to encourage them to buy it. As a result, it has a beneficial effect to increase the sale of products. J. Thomas Russell and W Roland Lane, in Kazmi (2004) have defined advertising in the following words: “Advertising is a message paid for by an identified sponsor and delivered though some medium of mass communication. Advertising is persuasive communication.” Therefore, we may conclude that advertisement has some elements: (1) messages, (2) sponsor, (3) mass media, (4) persuade or influence.
Advertising can be done in two ways. It can be electronic advertisements (by using electronic media such as TV, radio, or computer), and display advertisement (such as newspaper, posters, catalogues, magazines, etc.) As a promotion tool, in order to give information and to attract the reader, advertisements do not only consist
(17)
of words but also pictures and illustrations. So, there are usually limited words used in the display advertisement.
When the advertiser tries to convey the information, she/he always thinks how to manage the words in a sentence so the information will be understood by the consumers. Sentences in advertisements are structured in such away to attract the readers. Thus, the advertiser must consider how she/ he structured the information: what is put, where and why.
The information is the message of the advertisement. The difference of the information arrangement makes the difference of the message. It can be exemplified as below:
(1.a) Gerber Generation is the favorite food in America.
(1.b) The favorite food in America is Gerber Generation.
These two sentences seem to be alike except the structure. In the example (1.a) the advertisement talks about the name of a product. It is ‘Gerber Generation’, not the other products. In the example (1.b), it talks about ‘The favorite food in America’. It is not about the favorite drink neither is the favorite food in Africa.
In Discourse Analysis, the structure of information is discussed in Thematic Structure. It is Theme- and Rheme system which is introduced by M.A.K Halliday. The thematic structure views that the function of language is as message. At this point, clauses are considered as messages. The language is used to built a message to other messages; a clause to other clauses. A message can be related to preceding or following discourse or to the content. This function is realized by Theme-Rheme system.
(18)
Gerot and Wignel (1994:103) state that in English the Theme can be identified as that or those elements which come first in the clause. Theme represents ‘This is what I’m talking about’ and Rheme is ‘This is what I am saying about it’. The interaction of the Theme and Rheme governs how information in a text develops. The boundary between Theme and Rheme is simple: Theme is the beginning of the clause conveying what is the clause about. So, we can find the topic of the information in a Theme. Rheme is the rest of the clause. The information is typically contained in the Rheme. Theme can be divided in to three categories: Ideational Themes, Textual Themes, and Interpersonal Themes. In this thesis, the writer wants to analyze the Theme used in the advertisements based on these distributions.
The analysis of Theme-Rheme system which is a term of clause as message constructing a text is needed to see the distribution of information of the products in every clause. Moreover, we can reveal what kinds of item or concept are explored as the points of view on the texts of advertisements.
The writer plans to analyze the advertisements taken from People Magazine. People Magazine is a weekly American magazine of celebrity and human-interest stories, published by Time Inc. People Magazine contains many advertisements, which most of them are life style advertisements such as women cosmetics, health products, foods, pet’s food, accessories, diet food, and fashion items.
The writer is interested in analyzing advertisements from People Magazine because it is one of the most famous magazines in the word. ‘People’ has the largest audience of any American magazine with a readership of 46.6 million adults. The advertisements in People Magazine attract many readers. It has achieved a great
(19)
appreciation by being named "Magazine of the Year" by 2005 for advertising.
1.2 Problem of the Study
In this analysis, there are some questions to be answered. These questions are the problems that need solution, they are:
1. What types of Themes are found in the advertisements in People Magazine?
2. How is Themes Development in the advertisements in People Magazine?
1.3Objectives of the Study
In relation of the problem, the objectives of this analysis are:
1. To find out the types of Themes in advertisements in the People Magazine.
2. To find out how Themes Development in the advertisements in People Magazine is.
1.4 Scope of the Study
In research, it is important to limit the analysis on specific data that has been chosen. This research will be done on the text of advertisements in People Magazine. The analysis only concerns with the Textual Function which sees clauses as messages. In other words, we only focus to the Theme and Rheme used in these advertisements and its distribution which explained by M.A.K Halliday: Ideational or
(20)
topical Themes, Textual Themes, Interpersonal Themes, and Multiple Themes. In addition, this thesis also concern to the types of Method of Theme Development which explained by Suzanne Enggins.
1.5 Significance of the Study
The writer hopes this study is able to give the information about Theme and Rheme to the readers. This thesis is also expected to explain how the advertisements deliver their messages concerning with its information arrangement. For the readers, this analysis is expected to encourage people to be more critical in reading advertisement and also can help people to learn how to make a good advertisement.

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
2.1 Textual Function of Language
The textual function of language is an interpretation of language in its function as a message, which is a text forming function of language. It means that the textual represents the speaker’s text forming potential and it makes language relevant. The textual meaning is concerned with how intra clausal elements are organized to make meanings in this the textual function indicates the way the text is organized or structured.
The textual meaning of language (clause) in its function as a message is realized by the Theme System of language. The Theme system of the clause comprises two major elements, they are Theme and Rheme.
Considering that clauses are messages, Gerot (1994) states that a message comes to somewhere and leads to somewhere. It means that there is a departure point of message as well as the arrival point. The departure point of the message is called Theme and the arrival point is called Rheme. Theme provides the settings for the remainder of the sentence. Rheme is the remainder of the message in a clause in which Theme is developed, that is to say, Rheme typically contains unfamiliar or new information. New information is knowledge that a writer assumes the reader does not know, but needs to have in order to follow the progression of the argument. Thus, display advertisements can be analyzed by using Halliday concept to see that a text as a message.
(22)
2.2 Thematic Structure
In using discourse the main purpose and target of to communicate is to transmit the messages. The message exists in clause. In order to interpret and to get the message, we may analyze the structure of the clause which gives the clause its character as a message. This structure is called thematic structure.
2.2.1 Theme
Theme structures express the organization of the message: how the clause relates to the surrounding discourse, and to the context of situation in which it is being produced. These three sets of options together determine the structural shape of the clause.
According to Halliday (2004:64), The Theme is the element which serves as the point of departure of the message; it is that which locates and orients the clause within its context. It means that Theme come first in the clause. It connects the message with the context. In other words we might say that Theme introduces the context of the clause.
Halliday (2004: 66) says that generally Theme of a clause is the first group or phrase that has some function in experiential structure of the clause. It can be participant, circumstance or process. Theme is usually as the subject, but it may also be as a verb, a complement and an adverbial. Theme depends on first element of the clause. So, Theme is always in the code of the clause and it is followed by a Rheme. When the clause changes in order of its elements the Theme and Rheme also changes.
(23)
For examples:
(2.a) Henry Ford built his first car in the backyard.
Henry Ford built his first car in the backyard.
Theme Rheme
(2.b) In the backyard Henry Ford built his first car. In the backyard, Henry Ford built his first car.
Theme Rheme
(2.c) His first car was built by Henry Ford in the backyard His first car was built by Henry Ford in the backyard.
Theme Rheme
In the first sentence, Henry Ford is Theme as a subject which is a person, in the second sentence, In the backyard is Theme as spatial expression which talks about place and the third sentence His first car is Theme as nonperson subject.
Theme in a simple sentence may be simple or multiple. A simple Theme is coded by one element of the clause that is a process, participant or circumstance. The multiple Theme is comprised of topical, interpersonal and textual one. The guiding principle of the thematic structure is that the Theme always contains one, and only one, the topical Theme. (Halliday, 2004:79)
In relation to this study, the writer will describe the form of Themes and Rheme in advertisements in getting more information from the magazine, especially that in People magazine.
(24)
2.2.2 Rheme
Theme and Rheme are always together in connected text. The definition of the Rheme is that it is part of the clause in which the Theme developed. Since we typically depart from the familiar to head towards the unfamiliar, the Rheme typically contains unfamiliar or new information.
In other statement, Rheme is simply the rest of the sentence, the part which is not Theme. Rheme is the comment of the clause. Rheme is what the speaker says about the Theme. In other words Rheme is the rest of the message of the clause after the Theme. It means that Rheme is where the clause moves after the point of departure.
To understand the identification criteria for the Rheme is simple. Thus, once we have identified the Theme in a clause, we have also identifies the Rheme. For examples:
(3.a) Jack and Jill went up the hill Jack and Jill went up the hill
Theme Rheme
(3.b) Up the hillJack and Jill went Up the hill Jack and Jill went
Theme Rheme
(25)
2.3 The Types of Theme 2.3.1 Ideational Theme
Ideational Theme is also called topical Theme. It is coded by the first element of the transitivity system. It can be a participant, process, or circumstance. When the topical Theme places at the first part in a clause, it means that the Theme is simple Theme. But if the Theme is doing not place at the first element of a clause, it means that the clause combine with the other kinds of Theme and it’s mean that this kind of Theme is the complex Theme.
According to Halliday (1994: 53) Ideational Theme is signaled by element beside the interpersonal and textual member of Theme. Logically, in complex Theme, the topical Theme is also possible marked or unmarked Theme. In conclude, topical Theme is the first part of a clause when it is a simple Theme and it can be not at the first part of a clause when it is a complex or as a member of the complex Theme.
Ideational or topical Theme can be divided into two kinds; they are marked Theme and unmarked Theme. Marked Theme is a Theme when the first part of the transitivity system is not a subject, that’s why the Theme needed to be marked. So the marked Theme is the Theme in a clause which the function n a clause is a not subject, it can be as verb, Adverb, etc. For example given by Enggins (2004: 319) :
(4) In the city Diana donated blood. In the city Diana donated blood
Topical
Rheme Marked Theme
(26)
Unmarked Theme is a Theme n a clause which the function n a clause is as the subject .that’s why it doesn’t have to be marked. It is the unmarked one. For this point, Halliday (1994:43) said: “We shall refer to the mapping of Theme on to subject as the marked Theme of a declarative clause. A Theme that is something other than subject, in a declarative clause, we shall refer to as a marked Theme.” the example is given by Enggins below:
(5) Diana has donated blood 36 times.
Diana has donated the blood 36 times.
Topical
Rheme Unmarked Theme
The difference between marked and unmarked Theme is exemplified as below:
Topical Theme Unmarked Topical Theme Marked
1 you+ can’t store protein protein + you can’t store 2 but you+ can’t store protein but protein + you can’t store 3 however you + can’t store protein however protein + you can’t store
Table 2.1 Table of differences Marked and Unmarked Theme
Halliday determines the unmarked Theme and marked Theme in declarative clause as the table below:
(27)
Function Class Theme Example Clause Example Unmarked Theme Subject Subject Subject Nominal Group: pronoun as head
Nominal Group: common or proper noun as head
nominalization
I, you, we , he ,she, they, it, there
a wise old owl, Mary, the king of hearts, London Bridge
what I want
• I# had a little nut tree • She # went to the baker
• There # were three jovial Welshmen
• a wise old owl # lived in an oak • Mary# had a little lamb
• London Bridge is fallen down
• What I want # is a proper cup of the coffee. Marked Theme Adjunct Complement adverbial group, prepositional phrase nominal group, nominalization
merrily, in spring, on Saturday night
A bag-pudding,
what they could not eat that night
• merrily# we roll along
• on Saturday night# I lost my wife.
• a bag-pudding# the King did make
• what they could not eat that night # the Queen next morning fried.
Table 2.1 Theme in declarative clause by Halliday (1985: 46)
(28)
The main principle in identifying the Theme of the clause is that a clause must contain one, and only one topical Theme. Once we have identified the topical Theme in the clause, we can consign all the remaining clause constituents to the Theme role. (Enggins, 2004: 302)
For example:
(6) In Greece they give you nothing. In Greece they give you nothing.
Topical
Rheme Marked Theme
The first constituent is a circumstance of location, therefore it is a topical Theme. The rest of the clause is Rheme.
(7) However, cries are discomforting.
However, cries are discomforting.
Topical Theme
Rheme Theme
In this clause, the first constituent is a textual Theme, it is ‘however’. It is followed by the subject of the carrier ‘cries’ as the Topical Theme. All the constituents after the topical Theme are part of Rheme.
(29)
2.3.2 Interpersonal Theme
Interpersonal Theme is used when the speaker or writer wants to projects his or her angle on the value of what the clause is saying. It covers one or more of the elements of finite, Wh-element, vocative and modal adjunct. Finite in interpersonal function is realized by an auxiliary. In a clause indicates that a respond is expected from the addressee. Finite as Theme in a clause make the type of the sentence in a question or imperative form and sometimes in inversion form. If it is as simple Theme, but it is as a part of complex Theme, it is not must or inference the sentence or clause mood. For example (Gerot, 1994:111):
(8) Did we decide to wait?
Did we decide to wait?
Interpersonal Theme Rheme
A WH-element covers all of WH-question word as Theme in a clause whether it is as simple or complex Theme, such as: what, when, where, why, whom, which, whose, and also how. The WH-question makes the mood of the clause always in question form for the simple Theme but if it is complex Theme is isn’t always in question form, for example:
(9) What time we will go tomorrow?
What time will we go tomorrow?
(30)
Vocative indicates persons or the names of the person to whom the information is asked. Vocative Theme always separated by commas because in this chance the name of the person indicates as the person to whom the question is asked. Vocative always in terms of person’s name, for example: (Gerot, 1994:110)
(10) Mary, we decided to wait until next week?
Mary, We decide to wait until next week?
Interpersonal Theme Rheme
Modal Adjunct in interpersonal Theme typically is coded by certain adverb in a clause. Adjunct commonly functions as Theme. Adjunct as Theme in a clause provide or indicates the speaker’s comment, and assessment or attitude towards the message, for example (Gerot, 1994:110):
(11) Perhaps, we can wait until next week.
Perhaps, we can wait until next week. Interpersonal Theme Rheme
2.3.3 Textual Theme
Textual Theme makes explicit the way the clause related to the surrounding discourse. It covers four element of Theme, they are: (1) conjunction, (2) relative, (3) conjunctives, (4) continuatives. It is different from interpersonal Theme, textual Theme concern to the cohesive part of a clause or text, in interpersonal Theme it is concern to the part of a clause. Conjunctions link have two sentences or clause in
(31)
coordination relation. So for the conjunction, it is only the coordinate conjunction such as: and, but, so, whether, when, while, etc.
For example (Enggins, 1994:306):
(12) And he proposes marriage.
And he proposes marriage.
Textual Theme Topical Themes
Rheme Theme
Relatives also relate a dependent clause to another clause, relatives relate to the clause by using the relative pronouns such as: which, what, who, when, where, etc in sentence which the Theme is the relative element, the sentence must consist of one independent clause and one subordinate clause. What we call as complex sentence.
For example:
(13) The house which we are going to buy had been sold.
The house which we are going to buy had been sold.
Topical Textual Theme
Rheme Theme
Conjunctives indicate by a transitional signal which provides a cohesive like to the discourse. By a conjunctive and the text, the condition of the text can be cohesive. The conjunctives such as: consequently, furthermore, in addition, in conclusion, as the matter of fact, etc.
(32)
For example (Gerot, 1994:106):
(14) Well, on the other hand, we could wait.
Well, on the other hand, we could wait
Textual Theme Textual Theme Topical Theme
Rheme Theme
Continuatives also make the condition of a text cohesive. Continuatives indicate a relationship to the previous discourse. By continuatives, we can know what they continue idea from the continue idea from the previous chapter or discourse. Continuatives such as: right, well, oh, thus, etc.
For example, in Gerot (1994: 106):
(15) Right, what we needed to do today is revise for our test. Right, what we need to day is revise for our best.
Textual Theme Topical Theme
Rheme Theme
2.3.4 Multiple Themes
The Theme and Rheme is the basic form of the organization of the clause of the message. There is always an ideational/ topical element in the Theme. When the topical Theme is preceded the textual and interpersonal Theme, it is called as multiple Theme.
For Example given by Gerot and Wignel (1994:108)
(33)
But, Mary, surely we can wait until next week Textual Interpersonal Interpersonal Topical
Rheme Theme
From the example above we can see the Theme and Rheme inside the sentence where the Theme “well, kids, tomorrow we and the left clause “will go to the zoo is the Rheme.
But, Mary, surely we
Theme Rheme
can wait until next week.
Then, based on textual function we can see that there is three kinds Theme in that sentence, they are textual Theme, interpersonal Theme, and textual Theme. Textual Theme : but
Interpersonal Theme : Mary, surely Topical Theme : we
2.4 Method of Development
According to Enggins (2004:324) method of development of Theme is very significant contribution because it deals with how Thematic elements succeed each other. It means that considering how the development of theme is important to make the information connected cohesively. The Theme selection is connected with how the information is developed in the text. Fries in Martin (1997:434) says that the combination of Themes in the text is known as the Thematic development.
Three main patterns of Thematic development can be observed as below: (Enggins:324)
(34)
2.4.1 Theme Re-Iteration
Theme Re-Iteration is a basic way to keep a text focused. The Theme is repeated to build the next information. This type of Thematic pattern, where the same element occurs regularly as Theme. It can be demonstrated as below:
Theme1 Rheme1
Theme1 Rheme2
Theme1 Rheme3 Diagram 2.2 Re-Iteration Pattern This pattern is exemplified is this text:
1. Mr. Black
2.
is our new neighbor.
He
3.
lives next to our apartment.
He
4.
seems like to sing.
He
5.
sings every time.
He
2.4.2 Theme Zig-zag
, somehow, bother us with his singing.
In this pattern, an element which is introduced in the Rheme in the clause 1 get promoted to become the Theme of clause 2. The Theme is built from an element
(35)
in the previous Rheme. The Zig-zag Pattern achieves cohesion in the text by building on newly introduced information. This pattern can be diagrammed in Figured 2.3
Clause 1 Theme Rheme
Clause 2 Theme Rheme
Clause 3 Theme Rheme
Diagram 2.2 Re-Iteration Pattern The text below is an example of Zig-zag Pattern
1. For Christin Poirier, psychology is central to her occupation as a

social worker
As a social worker, Poirier works at a community mental health center
3.
where she helps children and adolescents
4.
who
(Source Introduction to Psychology: a module, not published) are experiencing emotional or behavioral difficulties or both.
2.4.3 The Multiple-Rheme Pattern
In this pattern, the Theme of one clause introduces a number of different pieces of information, each of which is then picked up and made Theme in subsequent clause. This Theme often provides the underlying organizing principle
(36)
elaborating on each of main thematic points. In the other words, the multiple Rheme consist of the Zig-zag Pattern and Re-iteration Pattern to elaborate the information in the text. The multiple-Rheme pattern of thematic development can be diagrammatically figured as below:
Clause 1 Theme Rheme
Clause 2 Theme pRheme
Clause 3 Theme Rheme
Clause 4 Theme Rheme
For example:
Text 1.
The three main reasons babies cry are hunger, cold, and illness
Hunger can be determined by considering when the baby was last fed. .
Babies feel cold more actually than we do and the smaller the baby, the more warmly it should be wrapped up.
Finally, sickness of pain may also be signaled by crying.

CHAPTER III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
3.1 Research Method
This thesis applies descriptive qualitative method, namely by identifying and analyzing the Theme in advertisements in People Magazine. Hamidi (2004) explains in his book that qualitative method is a procedure which results a descriptive data. Moleong (2004:3) says that qualitative research is the research that the data collected consist of words, pictures, and not number, and the background of descriptive research is interpretative paradigm, and does not on result but in the prioritizes the process of research. In this thesis, this method will be applied by giving the distribution of Theme and Rheme found in the advertisements in People Magazine.
3.2 Data and Data Source
The data is the every clause found 12 selected advertisements in People Magazine. There are found 102 clauses to be analyzed. The source of the data is the advertisements in People Magazine published in July 8th 2013. The advertisements selected are : Olay Regenerist, Olay Regenerist Eyelash Duo, Clinique, Aveeno Active Natural, Banana boat Protect & Hydrate, Miracle whip, Gerber Graduates Snacks, A.1. Steak Sauce, Dreyer’s Outshine Fruit Bars, Ore Ida Tater Tots; Bio True Contact Len, and Ovarian .
(39)
3.3 Data Collecting Method
The method that is used in collecting the data is documentation method since the data source is written source. Nawawi (1991:133) states that documentation method is a technique of collecting data by categorizing and classifying the written document that has relation with the problem discussed, whether from document or books, newspaper, magazine, etc.
3.3 Data Analyzing Method
In writing this thesis the writer uses descriptive qualitative method. Miles and Huberman (1992:20) explain that there are four main components in descriptive qualitative research. Those components can be portrayed as bellows.
Picture 3.1 Components of Data Analysis by Miles and Huberman The steps of analyzing the data are explained as follows:
1. Data Collection.
(40)
this magazine. The advertisements is reduced so12 advertisements are selected. The advertisements are selected based from the clause contained in the advertisements. The advertisement must has at least 4 clauses to be analyzed.
2. Data Reduction
Next, the sentences found in data source are divided into clauses. The data used are every single major clause found in selected advertisement.
3. Data Display
In this step, the data will be analyzed in two ways to answer the previous problems in chapter I.
a. First, the every clause is classified and analyzed by applying Halliday’s theory. It is displayed in a table to make the analysis clear. The explanations of the table are described under the table. Here are some examples found in the People Magazine:
1. Ideational Themes
The Gerber Generation has a firm grasp on nutrition.
The Gerber Generation has a firm grasp on nutrition. Topical
RHEME THEME
This clause consists of Topical Theme. The clause above begins with the Topical Theme which is realized by the “The Gerber Generation”. It is an unmarked Theme because it is the name of the product and takes role as the subject of the clause. It is followed by “has a firm grasp on nutrition” which is the Rheme.
(41)
2. Interpersonal Themes
Would you recognize ovarian cancer?
Interpersonal Topical
RHEME THEME
The clause above consists of Interpersonal Theme, and Topical Theme. The clause begins with the Interpersonal Theme which is the word ‘would”. In this clause, ‘would’ is the finite in interrogative clause. It is followed by the topical Theme pronoun ‘you’. The Rheme is ‘recognize ovarian cancer?’ which is the rest of the clause.
b. After that, the pattern of Theme Development is determined by applying Enggins’ theory to find whether the text use Reiteration Pattern, Zig-zag Pattern or Multiple Pattern.
Below is an example of the analysis:
The Gerber Generation has a firm grasp on nutrition.
Gerber Graduates Snacks -made with the goodness of whole grains. The nutrition and feeding experts at Gerber. Gerber have created delicious snacks that aren’t just nutritious but designed specifically to help your little one develop those essential feeding skills.
(42)
Clause 1 T1 (The Gerber Generation)
Clause 2 T2 (
R1 (has.… nutrition.)
Gerber Graduates Snacks)
Clause 3 T3 (
R2 (-made with … grains)
The nutrition … Gerber)
In this advertisement, the Themes are developed by using Reiteration pattern. The first Theme “The Gerber Generation” is reiterated as the element of Theme in the Clause 2 “Gerber Graduates Snacks”. The Theme on the Clause 3 “The nutrition and feeding experts at Gerber” is also built from the preceding Theme.
R3 (have ... feeding skills).
4. Conclusion
Finally, the conclusions answering the problems of this thesis are derived according to the previous analysis. The suggestions also offered for the readers using this thesis.
