CHAPTER IV
RESULT AND DISCUSSION
This chapter shows the result of the data analysis that has been preceded. The data are the twelve parts of interaction in the form of clause and chunk of
language. This chapter is divided into two sections; Seven Building Tasks of Language analysis and Systemic Functional Grammar analysis and the standard
treatment which is used as the comparison of the recent treatment. The bold parts inside the analysis represent the emphasizing of each element. In addition, the
tables which are tables of Textual function help to organize the data analysis into easy reading. Lines are also used in showing the Interpersonal function in order to
get the systemic reading as well.
4.1 Discourse of the Script of the Interaction between the Therapist and
the King
4.1.1 Seven Building Tasks of Language
This part shows the result of the data analysis. The tables and lines show the outcomes of the analysis. The first being discussed is the theory of Seven
Building Tasks of Language. The table shows the category of the seven building tasks. They are the significances, activities, identities, relationships, politics,
connections and sign and system. The situation is put in order to get the general view of the building tasks. Therefore, using the table, the researcher wants to
compose easy access to view the building tasks in general. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

commoner the therapist and the royal family the king.
The table shows the result of the theory of Seven Building Tasks of Language. The significances of the text are the struggle to build the equality and
the contribution of language to make the king confident. The remaining is the elaboration of their significances. Because of the struggle of equality is part of the
significance, thus the activities, identities and relationships are also achieving these two. Politics, connections and sign system and knowledge are in line with
these two main significances. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
The conversation that is conducted in the script mostly is an informal form regarding to the social language that uses the informal language. Bertie,
who is the member of the royal family, is considered to be respected by addressing him the proper name and serving him properly. However, following
the treatment rules, he is treated as the others even less formal. Lionel‟s intention as the therapist is to show the sign of a friendship. Therefore, the implementation
shows that the conversation between the two using informal language. It is shown through the scene when Bertie unexpectedly swearing in front of Lionel.
Fortunately, Lionel sees it as the method to make Bertie‟s speech fluent. The interaction between the therapist and the king is the main object of the research.
The script is the product of the discourse that is analyzed through Seven Building Tasks of Language. Thus, the significance of the language use is unraveled
through its significance, activities, identities, relationships, politics, connections and sign system.
4.1.1.1 Significance
The significance happens in the analysis through several ways. Social language has the important rule showing the use of the language. There are two
ways showing the significance in the language use that is applied through the text.
First, it is the significance of talking as a friend that is the main idea of the process of the treatment. Implementing the social language that is the different
style of languages used for different purposes Gee, 2011, it sees that the style of language that is supposed to be used by Lionel is formal considering that he talks
with the member of the royal family. However, Lionel wants to make his therapy PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
session is less formal by bridging the line to be friend with Bertie. Lionel as the therapist tries to build the equal relationship with the king so that the king feels
comfortable with his treatment. However it is not easy for Lionel to make the
king close to him. Thus, the significance of this text is the struggle to build an equal relationship through the interaction.
[1] LIONEL: Perfect.
In here, it’s better if we’re equals. PART 1, LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – DAY
Lionel Logue is an unorthodox speaking therapist. In the time of 1920s, he was well-known for his success treatment for people with stuttering. He is not
certified as a doctor, however because of his experiences, he is permitted to cure the king‟s stuttering. The most important thing about his therapy is that the
patient must feel comfortable by enjoying his rules. One of his rules is that he has to be equal with his patient even if the patient has the potential to be a king in the
future – at the first meeting, Bertie is not yet a king but he is still the Duke of
York. Applying his rules to be followed by the king is one of his ways to be
professional in his field. By asking the king to follow his rules and agree with his mechanical treatment, Lionel tries to use his authority to rule the king but not the
opposite. The equality is shown in the way Lionel tries to be professional doing his job.
Lionel Logue wants Bertie to call him as Lionel and in return, Lionel calls Bertie as „Bertie‟. Bertie feels insulted with the call as he has the higher position
than Lionel. [2]
LIONEL : How about Bertie? BERTIE
: flushes Only my family uses that. LIONEL :
Perfect. In here, it‟s better if we‟re equals. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
BERTIE :
If we were equal I wouldn‟t be here. I‟d be at home with my wife and no-one would give a damn.
PART 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – DAY
However, Lionel Logue keeps insisting that he will call Albert as Bertie no matter what. Albert at first also insists that he will not follow Lionel‟s rule. In the
process of the treatment, Bertie has finally followed Lionel‟s rule. He seems okay to be called as Bertie by Lionel though he barely calls his therapist a name.
The social language that is used in this script is supposed to be formal language between the ordinary citizen and the royal family member. However,
this movie wants to show the equality as a friend, even close friend between people without considering the title. As a result, the social language that is used is
an informal language. It is used to show the equality in the field of professionalism.
Second, the significance can also be seen in the mechanism in overcoming the king‟s stuttering. Conversation as part of tools of inquiry in the form of
debates and motifs in the social group Gee, 2011 that happens between Lionel and Bertie provokes Bertie to speak his own voice. He is triggered to debate with
Lionel but at the end he does what Lionel asks him to do. Thus, the other significance is the chunk of conversation that has contribution to make the
king confident in speaking. The conversation like
[3] BERTIE
: I‟m not crooning “Swanee River”
LIONEL : Try “Camptown Races” then. sings “My brother D, he said
to me, doodah doo- dah...” Continuous sound will give you
flow. Does it feel strange, now that David‟s on the throne?
PART 4, LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – CONTINUOUS
is the conversation of encouraging Bertie to sing to avoid his stammering. Lionel asks Bertie to sing when he wants to share something. Lionel thinks that it will
give the flow in his throat so that he can speak more clearly. It happens. Bertie can share fluently what he wants to talk about in his singing.
Though it seems provoking Bertie in an emotional way, Lionel has an effective way to build Bertie‟s confidence. Later on Bertie has been in progress.
[4] LIONEL
: I don‟t care. I don‟t care how many Royal arses have sat
in this chair- Overlapping- BERTIE
: Listen to me... LIONEL
: Listen to you? By what right? BERTIE
: Divine right, if you must I‟m your King
LIONEL :
Noooo you‟re not Told me so yourself. Said you didn‟t want it.
So why should I waste my time listening to you? BERTIE
: Because I have a right to be heard LIONEL
: Heard as what? BERTIE
: A man I HAVE A VOICE LIONEL
: quietly Yes you do. You have such perseverance, Bertie,
you‟re the bravest man I know. And you‟ll make a bloody good king.
part 13, INT. WESTMINSTER ABBEY - THAT NIGHT
The situation above is when Bertie has a rehearsal to do the inauguration of him as a king at Webminster Abbey. They practice the text for Bertie‟s inauguration
to be a king. Lionel purposely sits on the chair that is supposed to be sat by the king. Bertie is angry and asks Lionel to get off of the chair while Lionel
challenges Bertie on what right. Furiously, Bertie says that he has the voice as a king and somebody has to listen to him. From the way Bertie is angry and is
triggered to finally say that he has a voice, Lionel has succeeded to make Bertie realize his power.
Thus, showi ng the equality and building Bertie‟s confidence are the two
things that are the significance of language use to overcome the king‟s stuttering. The application of the significance is synergized into the other six building tasks
of language. 4.1.1.2
Activities Activities show the implication of the significance of the language use.
Since the significance of language through the text is about the equality and building confidence in order to overcome the king‟s stuttering, therefore there are
two activities that reflect the significance of language use. The first activities that describe the significance of the text are that Lionel
asks Bertie a chance to share his stories including his background about his stuttering. By using Discourses that is part of the ways of thinking, acting,
interacting, valuing, feeling, and believing Gee, 2011, Lionel listens patiently to every single story that Bertie tells. At first, Bertie does not share his
problem. He wants the mechanic way to overcome his stuttering. [5]
LIONEL :
Thus proving your impediment isn‟t a permanent part of you. What do you think was the cause?
BERTIE :
I don‟t know I don‟t care I stammer. And no one can fix it.
part 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – DAY
This situation is when Lionel asks Bertie about the background why he becomes stuttering. He asks Bertie whether he stutters when he thinks. Bertie‟s anger
shows that he has a very bad temper. He can get easily angry when being asked to tell his experience. His concern is only the practical therapy. He does not want to
be involved in the personal story, especially his own experience that might be unpleasant memory.
However, Lionel never gives up inquisitively asking Bertie to tell about his family background. The main purpose is to dig the information about Bertie‟s
stuttering background. Therefore the activity of sharing is conducted as a part of Bertie‟s therapy.
[6] BERTIE
: Nannies. Not my first nanny, though..she loved David...hated me. When I was presented to my parents
for the daily viewing, she‟d... The stammering produced by the memory halts him.
LIONEL : Sing it.
BERTIE : tunelessly
“She pinch me so I‟d cry, and be sent away at once,
then she wouldn‟t feed me, far far away.” speaks Took three
years for my parents to notice. As you can imagine, it caused some stomach problems. Still.
part 4, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM –
CONTINUOUS Lionel continues to ask Bertie about the person that Bertie is close with.
However, Bertie tells Lionel the meaning of being close with his nanny is not the close mental relationship, rather the nanny monitors Bertie the whole day and
gives Bertie significant trauma by always pinching him when being presented to his parents. So that the parents think that Bertie does not do any good deeds.
Though Bertie tells his bad experience in a stutter, Lionel keeps listening and encourages him to sing so that he can be fluent in telling his uncomfortable
memory. The second activities that show the significance of building the
relationship to make the treatment effective is by doing practical mechanism.
During the treatment, Lionel does not only encourage Bertie to talk about his experience. He also conducts the practical treatment like asking Bertie to read
some sentences while he is betting on him one shilling, to sing a favorite song to avoid the stuttering which is working, to practice the respiration activity, to say
tongue twister repeatedly and to swear when feeling repressed. Those activities are effective in reducing the stuttering frequency.
Challenging Bertie to do something is not quite effective but at least Bertie wants to try what Lionel asks him to do. Lionel bets on one shilling if
Bertie wants to do Lionel‟s offering. Bertie will give Lionel one shilling instead if he does not want to do Lionel‟s offering.
[7] BERTIE
: I can‟t possibly read this.
LIONEL : Then you owe me a shilling for not trying.
Furious, Bertie opens the book and reads, stammers badly and gets worse.
BERTIE :
“To be or not to be, That is the question. Whether it is wiser...” There He hands the book back to Lionel.
BERTIE :
I can‟t read LIONEL
: I haven‟t finished yet. Lionel returns the book to Bertie
and turns to some recording apparatus on a nearby table.
LIONEL :
I‟m going to record your voice and then play it back to
you on the same machine. This is brilliant.
It‟s the latest thing from America: a Silvertone.
He hands Bertie a pair of heavily padded earphones. Bertie
doesn‟t want to take them. part 1,
INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – DAY
After failing in fulfilling Lionel‟s challenge to read some sentences while listening to the music, Bertie does not want to precede the therapy with Lionel
anymore. He thinks that Lionel is just wasting his time to do such a trivial thing. He needs something mechanic, though.
[8] LIONEL
: Alright. You want mechanics? We need to relax your throat muscles and strengthen your tongue. By repeating
tongue twisters for example. “I am a thistle-sifter. I have
a sieve of sifted thistles and a sieve of unsifted thistles. Because I am a
thistle sifter.” BERTIE
: Fine. LIONEL
:You have a flabby tummy, we must build up the strength in your diaphragm. Simple mechanics.
PART 2 INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM
NEW DAY PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
This mechanic is in purpose exercising the movement of the lips and the air flow
that comes from the lungs. Therefore, Bertie has to exercise the tongue twister as a part of the treatment. Since tongue twister activates the brain‟s speech-planning
processes, it helps Bertie to do the exercise warming up the fluency in speaking Bergland, 2013.

Many different sessions, many different days, all in the consultation room.

PART2 INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM
– NEW DAY The activity is to show the continuant of treatment in triggering the fluency in
speaking. After having tongue twisters‟ exercise, Bertie continues to have the humming treatment when he has to hum the syllable into the longer syllable.
Another activity to minimize the stuttering is by singing and changing the lyric into the utterances that is to be said. This activity is effective to make the air
flow from the vocal cord fluent. At first, Bertie refuses to do so but when it does work, Bertie continues singing when he feels that he faces the stuttering.

LIONEL :
“Lionel, Lionel.” You didn‟t stammer. BERTIE
: Of course I didn‟t stammer, I was singing realises Oh...
part 3, INT. WAITING ROOM TO LOGUE‟S
CHAMBERS – CONTINUOUS
The unique way to minimize stuttering is by swearing. It is proved that as the royal family, it does not mean that the person is not an ordinary people who
have a right even to swear. But of course it is not in the public appearance. Bertie as the royal member has a habit to swear when he feels angry or depressed and it
works when he tries to avoid his stuttering. [11]
LIONEL :
Vulgar but fluent. You don‟t stammer when you swear. BERTIE
: Bugger off PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
LIONEL : Is that the best you can do?
BERTIE : Well bloody bugger to you, you beastly bastard.

BERTIE : Shit then. Shit, shit, shit
LIONEL : See how defecation flows trippingly from the tongue?
PART 6 INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM,
HARLEY STREET - NEW DAY 4.1.1.3
Identities The identities are showed in the way the characters reveal their
characteristics. The strong characters are promoted between these two main characters. Bertie has tough personality while Lionel has even tougher
personality. Discourse which shows identities through ways of thinking, acting, interacting, valuing, feeling, and believing and Conversation that shows the
contribution of action in language Gee, 2011 emphasize the finding. The identities show the characteristics of Lionel who are brave and patient and
Bertie who are prideful and bad temper.
Bertie as the main center of the character has the strong personality. He has two main characteristics that are significance in revealing the language use.
The first characteristic is that he is proud person. The second is that he is temperament person.
Bertie‟s characteristics are prideful. He is prideful as he is the son of the King George V and he demands to be respected. He does not want to be called as
Bertie since only his family calls him Bertie. It hurts his pride when Lionel as a commoner calls him Bertie instead of The Royal Highness or Sir. He expresses
his hurtful pride with anger. [12]
LIONEL : How about Bertie?
BERTIE : flushes Only my family uses that.
LIONEL :
Perfect. In here, it‟s better if we‟re equals. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
BERTIE :
If we were equal I wouldn‟t be here. I‟d be at home with my wife and no-one would give a damn.
Part 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM -
DAY Bertie‟s identity is revealed through his bad temper. He is always angry
every time Lionel asks him about the family matter. Bertie thinks that his family background does not have relation with the treatment that Lionel is going to do.
Actually, it is important since Lionel as the speech therapist has to find out the psychological side of Bertie‟s family background so that he can make diagnosis.
[13] LIONEL
: What is it about David that stops you speaking? BERTIE : What the bloody hell is it that makes you bloody well
want to go on about David? part 6,
INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM, HARLEY STREET - NEW DAY
Lionel, on the other hands, has the tough characteristic since he has to deal with extraordinary person like Bertie. Fortunately, he has the characteristics
that are easy to defend Bertie‟s characteristics. Lionel has brave and patient characteristics.
His bravery is shown when he is not afraid or even nervous to deal with Bertie as the Duke of York, one of the sons of the King George V. He applies his
own rule that the patient should go to his room to do the treatment. He also wants the equal relation between the therapist and the patient. Treating the member of
royal family, Lionel is advised to follow some rules; however he keeps on doing his own rule.
[14] LIONEL CONT‟D : I was told not not to sit too close.
Bertie remains silent. LIONEL CONT‟D : I was also told, speaking with a Royal, one waits
for the Royal to choose the topic. BERTIE
: Waiting for me to commence a conversation one can wait a rather long wait.
part 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION
ROOM – DAY
This situation shows that Lionel does not really follow the rule that is given to him when treating Bertie. It is just a trigger from him to start a conversation with
Bertie. He wants to know the characteristic of his patient. Lionel is a patient man. He has calm appearance and seems not easily
influenced when the mood is getting high. It means that when Bertie shows his anger toward him, he barely shows his own emotion. He stays calm and
understanding Bertie situation. He should keep himself calm to be able to control Bertie‟s anger. He seems okay though Bertie keeps mocking at him.
[15] BERTIE
: I can‟t sit here singing
LIONEL : You can with me.

LIONEL : Why do you stammer more with David than you do with

The latter, angry, sentence is flawless. LIONEL
: I‟m not a geisha girl.
BERTIE : Stop trying to be so bloody clever
part 6, INT. LOGUE‟S
CONSULTATION ROOM, HARLEY STREET - NEW DAY
Lionel digs the information about Bertie‟s personal life by asking about David who is Bertie‟s older brother. Bertie is angry to be compared with David and he
tries to mock Lionel by stating that he pays Lionel properly. Instead of getting angry, Lionel says that he is not a geisha girl associating himself as the girl in the
prostitution which makes Bertie more resent. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
In conclusion, Lionel‟s characteristics that are brave and patient lead him to treat Bertie successfully. With his characteristics he can win over Bertie‟s
heart. He applies them in a consistent way so that Bertie can understand the method of his treatment thoroughly.
4.1.1.4 Relationships
The use of nickname between Lionel and Bertie gives the treatment an atmosphere of friendship rather than therapist and patient relationship. It is
proved that the language is used to show the relation between the speakers. The use of nickname becomes the mark of the friendship between Lionel and Bertie.
[17] BERTIE
:
I‟m willing to work hard, Doctor Logue...
LIONEL : Lionel.

part 4, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM –
CONTINUOUS Intertextuality also happens in the text. It refers to the situation both oral
and written that has an association with another text though in a small portion, but still it is important Gee, 2011. Bertie is asked to read one sentence
“To be
or not to be, That is the
question. Whether it is wiser...”. The choice of the text is not incidental but it is in purpose. The neurological science mentions that the
choice of the sentence is in purpose being forwarded to the Broca aphasic sufferers who mostly have difficulty in delivering the word No ifs, ands, or buts
Gardner Zurif: 1975. The hypothesis says that Broca aphasic patients cannot read the sentence
“To be or not to be, That is the question. Whether it is wiser...”
fluently. Instead, they can read fluently the sentence “two bee oar knot two bee”. Through this case, the result shows that the
patients‟ problem is on the meaning of the sentences not on the pronunciation. Using this kind of intertextuality,
Lionel wants to check the symptoms of stuttering that is happened to Bertie. 4.1.1.5
Politics One of the uses of the language is to distribute social goods that become
the aspect of politic purpose. Lionel‟s intention is to cure the stuttering. He has the commitment to cure the stuttering with his own way. One of his ways is that
he wants an equal relation with the patient and the therapist. In order to make his patient feels comfortable with his treatment and his demand for equality, he
wants to be friend with the patient. The political side in this part is that Lionel has a good intention toward Bertie.
[19] LIONEL
: How about Bertie? BERTIE
: flushes Only my family uses that. LIONEL
: Perfect. In here, it‟s better if we‟re equals.
BERTIE :
If we were equal I wouldn‟t be here. I‟d be at home with my wife and no-one would give a damn.
part 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM
DAY [20] BERTIE
: You know, Lionel, you‟re the first ordinary Englishman...
LIONEL : Australian.
BERTIE : I‟ve ever really spoken to. Sometimes, when I ride
through the streets and see, you know, the Common Man staring at me, I‟m
struck by how little I know of his life, and how little he knows of mine.
LIONEL :
What‟re friends for. BERTIE
: I wouldn‟t know.
part 4, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM –
CONTINUOUS The above situation is in their fourth meeting on the scene. Despite the fact that
Lionel and Bertie have some scenes of resentful moment, Bertie can finally show PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
his comfort sharing his personal matter to Lionel. That is Lionel‟s goal as one of his service as the therapist. This is part of Lionel‟s good intention to treat Bertie
as his patient and friend. 4.1.1.6
Connections To show the use of the language relating with connections, Gee suggests
using Halliday‟s Systemic Functional Grammar. One of the methods is by unraveling the relational and mental process. They are part of the Transitivity
process. [21]
BERTIE : If we were equal
I wouldn‟t be here. I‟d be at home with my wife and no-one would give a damn.
part 1, INT. LOGUE‟S CONSULTATION ROOM – DAY
The above quotation shows the relational process. This process conducts the identifying and classifying. The connection is the equality and its representation
by calling each other a nickname. Therefore, the connection the use of nicknames rather than the formal names relates to the demand of equality.
Lionel‟s method to be able to successfully conduct the treatment is by making friend with his patient. His patient is one of the members of the royal
family. He is the Duke of York, Prince Albert Frederick Arthur George. Despite the fact, Lionel wants to keep his own rule. He ignores the rule
that a royal should be treated a royal. He believes that when his patient is treated as a friend, this patient will receive better treatment both mentally and
psychically. [22]
LIONEL : Your first war time speech. Congratulations.
BERTIE : Expect I shall have to do a great deal more. Thank you,
Logue. Bertie stands and takes Lionel‟s hand
BERTIE : Thank you. My friend.
LIONEL : Thank you... Your Majesty.
part 21,
INT. BROADCASTING
BOOTH, BUCKINGHAM PALACE
– CONTINUOUS At the end of the movie, after finishing the war speech, for the very first time
Bertie calls Lionel as his friend. Though Bertie does not show it through the word, but he feels the friendship during the process of the treatment. Therefore,
the effort of Lionel to make the equality between him and Bertie finally works by using the nickname to call each other‟s names.
4.1.1.7 Sign System and Knowledge
The sign system and knowledge that happens in the interaction is supposed to be formal language that is seen from the social language
between the commoner the therapist and the royal family the king.
Although it is not relevant, considering the relationship between the two, the context of equality is still acceptable.
The situation is not relevant to the sign system and knowledge because the therapist violates the politeness that should be shown to the king.
[23] Bertie : What the bloody hell is it that makes you bloddy well want to go
on about David? Lionel
: Vulgar but fluent. You don‟t stammer when you swear. Bertie : Bugger off
Lionel : Is that the best you can do? Part 6 Int. Logue‟s
Consultation Room, Harley Street - New Day The trigger on swearing proves that informal language, that is irrelevant to the
relationship between the therapist and the king, is the most natural way to achieve the comfort during the treatment.
The relevance to the sign system and knowledge is the effort to make the treatment comfortable. The Discourse that shows the way people interacting in
the different discourses emphasizes the knowledge about the language that is PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
supposed to be used between the therapist and the king that is formal language. However, the discourse in this context is the effort to find the equality, therefore
the relevance of the sign system and knowledge is about equality that is acceptable in the way the therapist and the king interacting.
By having Seven Building Tasks of Language to analyze the interaction between Lionel and Bertie, it concludes that they give general overview that
starts with the significance. The significance of being equal and the practical treatment leads to the activities that are the sharing and doing mechanical practice
such as singing, swearing, reading and humming. Identities, then, reveals Lionel‟s struggle to approach Bertie to win over Bertie‟s interest. Relationships
are the result of using nicknames that introduce the equality between the therapist and the patient. The other relationships are the use of text „to be or not to be…‟
that refers to the intertextuality in which Lionel wants to check the symptom therefore he can adjust with the proper treatment. Politics show the good
intention of the treatment conducted by Lionel. Connection and sign system and knowledge give the relevant information about using informal language to
achieve the equality. Those seven elements link to each other to build the construction to help the king build his confident and comfort so that he can speak
fluently. Therefore, the method can be proved to success because it finally helps the king overcoming his stuttering.
The systemic functional grammar has the purpose to extend the message of the Seven Building Tasks of Language. It shows the detail information by
revealing the clauses hidden message systemically. The analysis of the Systemic Functional Grammar is divided into three parts. They are ideational function,
interpersonal function and textual function. Each of the function gives significant role to reveal the significant language use through the interaction between the
therapist and the king. In this analysis, there is an agreement that the therapist is called Lionel and the king is Bertie.
4.1.2 Ideational Function
Ideational function is the function that shows the clause as representation Halliday, 2004. It means that the clause shows the representation of the process
of doing, sensing and reflection. It is seen through the composition of the clause. Therefore, transitivity process is needed to show the relation of the clause and its
representation outside the words as it shows the process type of the clause mostly in material, mental and relational process. They are analyzed because they have
the most dominant result as seen in the below table.

The table shows the summary of the process of Transitivity. The twelve parts are divided into clauses that are analyzed through the Transitivity. The
dynamic process is presented emphasizing the process of treatment from rejection into acceptance. The first part stresses the passiveness of Bertie when receiving
the treatment in this case process of befriending. Lionel as the dominant actor in the first part shows his intention to make friend with Bertie in order to be equal.
The second part is still the dominant of Lionel side to be the actor. In the middle part, Bertie shows his comfort joining Lionel‟s treatment. The last part shows his
grateful to Lionel for helping him by stressing the use of relational process. 4.1.2.1
Material Process Material process is the process of doing-and-happening that represents the
change in the flow of the events as giving the emphasizing on input of energy. The semantic role shows the actor as the subject and the goal as the object. Goal
is not the only form of material process, but it also consists of range and beneficiary.
The result shows that the first interaction is full of material process that is spoken by Lionel as the actor, while Bertie is the goal of the process. Lionel uses
the sentences you …..make yourself comfortable,
You …. don‟t have to answer in
order to start the conversation with Bertie. He also represents his other patients as the actor to impress Bertie about the success of him being a therapist. He shows
Bertie that one of his patients make a toy that is put in Lionel workplace. Lionel also uses the material process make to show his authority applying his rule during
the treatment. Bertie, on the other hand, mostly becomes the goal of the material
process. It is generally spoken by Lionel and Bertie in the way they use the sentences
Only if you‟re…..interested in being treated, Sucking smoke into your lungs
…..will kill you, and Stop calling me that. Lionel asks Bertie whether he is interested in being treated or not, tells Bertie that sucking smoke will kill him,
and stops him to call Lionel as „doctor‟. However, Bertie also appears as an actor in the material process though it is described in the narration. The sentences
I …..assure you, no infant…….starts to speak with a stammer, and no-
one …….would give a damn, and stammer growing in intensity represent
Bertie‟s doing in showing his message to Lionel. Starting to smoke, Bertie is asked not to do it therefore he gives Lionel an astonished look. At the end, Bertie
has heavy stammering when he is asked about personal matter. Part 1 introduces the method giving distraction to Bertie so that he can
speak fluently. Lionel gives instruction using material process to Bertie to read the whole sentence. The sentences And if
I…..win, I….get to ask questions, One usually
…..wagers money ,
I …..don‟t carry cash show the betting activity. Lionel
offers a bet to Bertie if he can read he is paid one shilling. The next activity is using the sentences He
…..sets a blank disc onto the turntable, and…..positions a microphone, then
…..hands Bertie an open book conducting the process of giving PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
Bertie the distraction by listening to the loud music so that he does not keep on thinking about his stuttering. Those words represent Lionel‟s activity in
activating the recording tool. The second part reveals the changing role of Bertie that has dominant part
in material process both as actor and goal. It is because this part conducts the mechanical treatment as Bertie requires. Therefore, the sentences and strengthen
your tongue, I …..have a sieve of sifted thistles, you Just….slide into it,
Anyone … can learn to give a speech, Bertie…..lies on the floor, dominate the action that
has been done by Bertie during the mechanical therapy such as doing tongue twister, humming the first letter of a word and lying on the floor to control the
respiration through the diaphragm. Part 3 introduces the singing activity offered by Lionel in order to make
the speech become fluent. The material process you……Try singing it represents
Lionel‟s command to Bertie to sing and change the lyric into the sentence that he wants to talk about. Lionel triggers Bertie by using the verbs you Sing it then,
Give me the chorus in an imperative mood. This part also shows the progress on activity between Lionel and Bertie.
Bertie tells Lionel about his childhood experience being oppressed by his own father. Bertie uses his father and himself as the actors of the material process.
Father ……wouldn‟t allow it, I…..had to collect stamps are the lines that are used
to represent the activity that Bertie‟s father has done in the past. It is described that his father collects the stamps so does Bertie. He cannot have his own hobby.
Another method is introduced in part 4. The method reveals that by swearing, Bertie can speak fluently. The clause
Because you‟re….bloody well PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
paid is the material process conducting Lionel as the object of the swearing. In here, Bertie inserts the swearing in the middle of the sentence. Lionel realizes that
and he even encourages Bertie to do the swearing. The rest is represented through the verbal process saying the sentences Bloody, bloody, bloody Shit, shit, shit
Bugger, bugger, bugger Fuck, fuck, fuck Part 10, 11 and 12 are the part when Bertie gives the war speech for the
first time after being the king and also after being treated by Lionel. They are the result of the treatment process and the interaction process between Lionel and
Bertie. Of course, the material process is done by Bertie in giving his speech. Overall, material process is the process of doing-and-happening. This
process shows the physical action that is done by Lionel in order to approach Bert
ie and Bertie in order to give objection and acceptance toward Lionel‟s treatment method.
4.1.2.2 Mental Process
Mental clauses are concerned with the experiences of Bertie and Lionel about the world of their own consciousness. It means that the feeling, thinking,
wanting and perceiving are conducted during the interaction between the two. The analysis conducts the two main characters as the Senser.
The sentence I …..prefer Doctor accentuates the perception of Lionel that
he wants to be equal with his patient. He does not care about the title of his patient as long as this patient can adapt with his rule. At the same time, Bertie
also uses prefer to emphasize that he does not want to be equal with Lionel. He shows his depression finding the best treatment without having his personal
matter been revealed. Therefore, when Lionel asks Bertie about his first PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
recollection, Bertie demands the confirmation by asking what do you….mean?.
Mean here represents the mental process of wanting the confirmation. Lionel is not afraid of the rejection by Bertie. He never gives up asking
Bertie in order to gain the first collection. He uses the sentence Do you …..hesitate
when you think? to ask Bertie about the way he stutters. Other than that, Lionel keeps asking Bertie‟s thought about the reason why he becomes stuttering. Bertie
uses the mental verb I….don‟t know to emphasize his anger toward Lionel. In
addition, mental verb is conducted when Bertie saying that he does not care. The sentence I
….don‟t care care represents the other angers. Bertie declares his willing to overcome his stuttering in the second
meeting with Lionel. It means that Bertie accepts Lionel as his personal therapist. Mental process shows Bertie‟s will and commitment to do the treatment. The
sentence Logue consider s…. becomes the part when Lionel thinking about doing
mechanic treatment as Bertie asking for. You ….want mechanics? and We….need
to relax your throat muscles emphasize Lionel‟s decision since Bertie has
already committed to his treatment. Bertie needs to relax his throat muscles and strengthen his tongue by saying tongue twister; therefore the activity is preceded
by verbal process. This process also happens in the next mechanical treatment like humming the first letter of a word. Lionel asks Bertie to feel the loosening
jaw as he is humming. Part 3 has rich examples of how mental process conducts in this research.
This part shows Bertie comfortably shares his childhood experience with Lionel. Lionel takes this as a precious telling since he can find the proper treatment based
on Bertie‟s first recollection the reason why he becomes stuttering. Therefore, PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
Bertie as the senser delivers the sentences It…..Happens to be my favorite, I
……Always wanted to build models, Knowing I…..wouldn‟t be King and Then he…..remembers, he….puts it away. He tells Lionel his favorite song by
saying happens to be my favorite, shares his feeling about the unfairness of father to force Bertie to always follow his father‟s hobby. Bertie‟s perception on doing
smoking that is not good for his lung is conducted when he rmembers what Lionel has told him about. Bertie‟s father also becomes a senser when it comes to
the word encourage to tell Bertie that he should not stutter. In conclusion, mental process helps the researcher to know Bertie‟s
feeling in the beginning of the treatment until the end of the treatment. The dynamic process happens during the mental process. It is a good progress that
means Bertie‟s feeling, perception, and thought become the significant part in overcoming his stuttering.
4.1.2.3 Relational Process
The significant part in this process is the process of being and having. Usually the process conducts the adjective as the value of the process. Relational
process that is conducted in this analysis reveals the relation of the method and its necessity being applied.
Bertie has difficulty in pronouncing the letter p in the initial position particularly when saying people. It is stated in his line
The letter„P‟ is always difficult. It is part of value relation showing the difficulty saying the letter p.
Lionel encourages him to add the sound a before that letter. It becomes a people. Bertie uses the method and it does work because it can cover his stuttering that
people who listen to it think that it is natural to lengthen the sound a. Bertie uses PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
relational process saying that it is difficult to reveal Lionel‟s method having
sound a before the letter p. The relational process in the form of token is stated in the line
„a-peoples both at home and
…‟ as the result of Lionel‟s suggestion to Bertie saying the words people using the article a. Token is part of real implication rather than
value. After Lionel suggesting the method, Bertie does it directly as a token product of the value suggestion.
4.1.3 Interpersonal Function
Mood function is part of interpersonal function that is to confide the message. The message is the implicit intention that Lionel brings to approach
Bertie to make the treatment more comfortable. Moreover, interpersonal function analyzes the relationship with the addressee in this case Lionel as the addressee
and Bertie as the addresser. The tone system also works in the analysis showing falling and rising. They become the fundamental opposition in which falling tone
means certainty, rising tone means the opposite. Part 4 indicates the first meeting between Lionel and Bertie. The
dominant of the mood system is declarative mood in particular the positive ones. The other moods are imperative, exclamative and interrogative are distributed
through the interaction between Lionel and Bertie. The tone mood is in tone 1 since all of the lines spoken by Lionel represent certainty. The rest is the detail
analysis showing the lines.

positive declaration, Lionel using tone 1 says that the previous one is idiot. Again, Bertie responds it with positive declaration that all physicians before
Lionel have already been knighted. Imperative that is used by Lionel shows that he uses irony to comment to the physicians that have been knighted. His

certainty without rising tone. It explains that Lionel does not start to get emotional. Moreover, the last line describes Lionel‟s respond in interrogative
mood yesno question to confirm about the certainty that he tells the truth. The tone is tone number 2 with the falling tone asking for agreement.
Since this part is the first interaction between Lionel and Bertie, the use of mood is very significant showing the first impression that Lionel has to struggle

The imperative shows Lionel‟s method when Bertie dealing with his stuttering. Lionel commands Bertie to sing with changing lyric so that Bertie can speak
fluently. Responding to Lionel‟s command, Bertie gives interrogative yesno question to indicate that he asks for confirmation. Compared to the previous
meeting, this is expectedly that Bertie will respond it with negative declaration. However, this part does not indicate negative declaration in Bertie‟s side.
Lionel tries to provoke Bertie talking about the possibility that Bertie might be the next king since David, the older brother is about to give in the
crown. In this situation, Bertie should be angry because Lionel does not have any right to advice who to be the next king. In his singing, Bertie says
you‟re barking PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI
up the wrong trees, Doctor, Doctor even in positive declaration though it implies disagreement about Lionel‟s statement.
The reduction of exclamative and negative declaration that is shown in Bertie‟s language use indicates that he starts to enjoy the treatment and
interaction with Lionel. The falling and rising tone also represent the reduced tension between the two. One of the methods to overcome stuttering which is by
singing is also introduced during the interaction. This is part of the implicit intention that Lionel wants to conduct.
Interpersonal function is analyzed through the combination of Mood system and tone. They represent the mood of the therapist and especially the king
through the process of the interaction using the declarative, imperative and interrogative mood. By using this process, the dynamic change of the king from
rejecting to accepting Lionel‟s method can be analyzed.
4.1.4 Textual Function
It is said that the clause comprehend a quantum of human experience that includes some process or some change in the human environment. Three types
are conducted in the process namely the process itself, the participants in that process and any circumstantial factors such as time. Manner or cause Halliday,
2004 . This function, therefore shows the process of change of Bertie‟s attitude
and respond toward Lionel after several emotional meetings. Lionel uses unmarked theme selection in his very first sentence to talk
with Bertie. He does not use special conjunction or conjunctive adjunct because he thinks that the conversation conducts smoothly. He expects Bertie to respond
to what he says. However it does not work since Bertie only remains silent. PLAGIAT MERUPAKAN TINDAKAN TIDAK TERPUJI

The quotation represents Bertie‟s disagreement to the offering of equality. The textual themes are shown in the use of conjunction in the sense of semantic

Bertie that he should call Lionel his surname. On Bertie‟s side, he calls Lionel as Doctor because he wants to remind Lionel about the limit of his words. Lionel
does not have right to advice Bertie what should he does. To be or not to be a king is Bertie‟s matter. He thinks that Lionel has nothing to do with that matter.
The use of textual theme is stressed out in the obviousness meaning of course. Bertie says it in the initial position that means he is sure about how obvious he is
when he does not stammer. Then he realizes that it is because he is singing. The last is the use of well that signs a new move when the dialogue happens. Lionel
probably agrees with Bertie that he has no right about encouraging Bertie to be a king. Therefore, he changes the topic by using well in order to give Bertie a
reward for he is willing to sing. Thus, the marked theme selection is conducted in the first clause to emphasize the changing topic.

admits implicitly that he is grateful to have Lionel as his therapist. The use of you know means admission. Bertie admits that Lionel is the first Australian to whom
to talk such a personal matter. To the matter of fact, it is being marked to make sure that Lionel really listens to what Bertie says. The confession continues when

seem to judge his life. Another admission you know is used when he wants to emphasize the Common Man such Lionel knows little ab
out Bertie‟s life. Additive type supports the other statements that Bertie also feels the same way

Bertie knows for the very first time that Lionel is not even a doctor. To make him worse, Lionel is not the credential therapist that is knighted by the
royal family. In conclusion, he is totally an outsider, an Australian and only a speech defect without title. However, Bertie admits that Lionel has such a great
ability to cure his patient and during the process of befriending, Bertie finally trusts him though he never shows it to Lionel explicitly.
This part of the conversation shows the confirmation that is said by Bertie. Vocative Doctor Logue
is to trig Lionel‟s reaction as he is called doctor. However, there is no respond From Lionel. Bertie continues using marked theme
selection true to emphasize his confirmation toward Logue‟s tittle. At the end he
uses unmarked theme selection I did that for you to say that he does not mind at all but in an explicit way. Therefore, he uses unmarked theme in order to hide his
true admission toward Lio nel‟s ability. Once again, Bertie uses unmarked theme

his achievement curing many stutterers in his previous years before meeting Bertie. There are four textual themes that are used in Lionel‟s line. The type of
the textual theme is additive means that Lionel accentuates the word and to highlight past experience that is important for Bertie to be known. Things that
Bertie should know is that Lionel is also an actor rather than a doctor, that he is asked to help the soldier who stutters, that he helps ignored soldiers because of
their disability to speak and that he lets those soldiers know that he is their friends rather than their therapist that also happens with Bertie.

provoke him by using marked theme selection and textual theme. The markedness is shown in the way Lionel says no in a longer tone that stresses his
disagreement with Bertie. Moreover, he uses causal type of conjunctive adjunct so

response is in marked theme selection to emphasize his changing thought, agreement toward Bertie. To close his confirmation, Lionel uses additive and to
say that Bertie has such perseverance and the use of vocative Bertie to focus on Lionel‟s intention provoking Bertie.
