HilalMadjdi, Ahmad. DwiNurcahyo, Agung. Mashuri, Hidayat, Dedy Syarif

andFirdaus, Jalaluddin Al (2013).The Ideational Meanings of ”The Jakarta Post”
Headline News on The Fuel Price Increasing Issue in April 2012.
Key words: systemic functional linguistic, ideational meanings, sequences
ofmeaning, sequences of events, figures
In the perspective of language metafunction study, people use language to
negotiate meaning which is influenced by the situation in their daily life. It also
applies to the writer of newspaper when writing any segments of texts like headline
news. It can be perceived that the writers write the news item by representing the
functions of language in daily life. In this perspective, language is structured to make
three kinds of meanings simultaneously, i.e. experiential or ideational, interpersonal,
and textual.The objectives of the research are (1) To find out the sequences of
meanings of the Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel increasing issue in April
2012, (2) To find out the sequences of events inthe Jakarta Post headline news on the
fuel increasing issue in April 2012, (3) To find out the elements within clauses inthe
Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel increasing issue in April 2012, and (4) To
describe how people and things are classified, described and identified within the
elements inthe Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel increasing issue in April 2012.
The research is a text analysis by using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL)
theory. The data source of this research is the Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel
increasing issue in April 2012, written during April 2012. The data of this research is

the ideational meanings which were realized through texts of the head line news on
the fuel prices rising issue. Referring to the analysis, the points of conclusion are (1)
the classification imbedded in the phase sequences of the Jakarta Post headline news
on fuel price-increasing issue in April 2012 are facts, comments, and quotations. (2)
the sequences of events in the phases are found to be influenced by the collected
information, covered by the author, which is used to support the idea for public
consumption. The news item contains some events which are related to socio,
political and economical situation in Indonesia especially concerning the issue of fuel
price rising. (3) The sequences of events of the Jakarta Post Headline News on fuel
price-increasing issue in April 2012, which are specifically concerned with the
process is found to be realized in 228 figures of doing, 48 figures of saying, 33
figures of sensing, and 30 figures of being, and that (4)it is found that in expanding
the meaning attributed to people and things, the author of the news item texts applies

iv

classification to express categorical distinctions, description to express quality and
qualifier, and identification to express possessive relation, facet and measure.
It is suggested that English students need to understand that language cannot
be separated from society since language is a means of communication which is used

by people to negotiate meaning. Therefore, the concept of Systemic Functional
Linguistic is important to learn because it has an overview about functional
language.Lecturer is suggested to make the English students aware about the
important of understanding the concept of text and its practical use. News item is a
real and factual sample of text which can be used by lecturer as a media of teaching.
The research can be further developed into the other analysis on language
metafunction. Researcher can keep in pace with the development of language use in
society by analyzing actively the dynamic development of social, political and
economical condition by considering what is published in newspaper and other kinds
of news item.
