As the first part of a narrative text, orientation should be able to attract the readers’ attention; therefore, it must be well organized. From the Systemic Functional Linguistics point of view, a well-organized text can be confirmed through its textual metafunction realized in theme and rheme. In addition to confirming a good organization of the clauses, theme-rheme interactions would make the text interesting. This paper aims at describing the thematic characteristics of the orientation of the English version of Hikayat Deli text (the translated text of Hikayat Deli). This study employed the data derived from the orientation part of the English version of Hikayat Deli text which was analyzed using content analysis. The results of data analysis showed that: (1) unmarked themes dominated the use of theme in the orientation part of the English version of Hikayat Deli text, (2) the story characters (participants) were used most frequently as the clause themes, and (3) conjunctions and conjunctives (textual themes) were the elements of multiple themes most frequently used in the orientation part of the English version of Hikayat Deli text. It is concluded that the choice of theme elements helps in constructing a well-organized orientation and in facilitating the easy understanding to readers of what the rest of the text is about.

One of the important parts of a research article is an introduction. As the initial part of an article, it should provide all the ideas confirming that the study needs to be conducted. Therefore, the ideas presented should be well organized. One of the ways to confirm a good organization of ideas in the introduction is by paying attention to the theme structure used to build the clauses. This study analyzed the theme types and structure used in the introduction section of articles published in Indonesian national journals. This study was conducted using qualitative content analysis. Using a documentation technique, the data were collected from 15 research articles published in the latest volumes (2020-2021) of four Indonesian national journals. The data were analyzed using a content analysis method, following the established procedure of the clause theme analysis. The results of the study found the dominant use of simple themes in the introduction section of the research articles, indicating a lack of ideas organization. Besides, it was also found that the theme structure of the clauses was realized in nine theme patterns. These patterns are used in presenting different contents of an introduction. It is concluded that theme types and patterns contribute to producing a good quality introduction section of a research article.

Previous studies on engagement have a primary focus on textual discourse or written communication analysis rather than on interactive, spoken communication. This leaves a room for further exploration into how engagement functions dynamically, such as in debates. This study aims to find out the engagement strategies used in the USU English Debate Forum 2023 through the lens of Martin and White’s (2005) appraisal theory of engagement. Using a qualitative content analysis, this study categorizes debate discourse into monoglossic and heteroglossic engagement systems to analyze how the debaters construct meaning, position themselves in relation to their audience, and employ linguistic features to sustain engagement. The data were collected using observation and documentation methods and were analyzed using an interactive model of data analysis. The findings indicate that heteroglossic engagement overwhelmingly dominates the debate discourse, accounting for 83.3% of the engagement strategies used. Among the heteroglossic features, dialogic contraction strategies such as Deny (21.17%) and Counter (16.47%) were frequently employed, highlighting the competitive nature of debate discourse. Dialogic expansion, particularly Entertainment (32.94%), also played a significant role, allowing the debaters to introduce assessments of probability and possibility. The results suggest that the debaters strategically navigate linguistic resources to challenge opposing arguments, reinforce their stance, and engage with alternative perspectives. This study contributes to the understanding of engagement strategies in academic debates, offering implications for debate training and rhetorical education.

Lirik lagu dapat dianalisis melalui dinamika wacana, namun hubungan antara pengalaman emosional dan agensi dalam album lirik R&B kontemporer masih belum banyak dibahas dalam penelitian Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik (Systemic Functional Linguistics/SFL). Oleh karena itu, penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menerapkan sistem transitivitas sebagaimana dikemukakan oleh Halliday (1994) dalam menganalisis emosi dan agensi yang direpresentasikan oleh SZA dalam enam lagu dari album SOS, yaitu Kill Bill, Snooze, Good Days, Nobody Gets Me, I Hate U, dan Shirt. Untuk mencapai tujuan tersebut, penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan deskriptif kualitatif yang didasarkan pada prinsip-prinsip tata bahasa fungsional yang dikemukakan oleh Halliday (1994) serta Gerot dan Wignell (1994). Korpus penelitian berupa lirik lagu yang diambil dari Genius dengan total 164 klausa. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa proses mental mendominasi data dengan persentase 31,7%, diikuti oleh proses material (29,9%), relasional (22,0%), verbal (7,9%), perilaku (4,9%), dan eksistensial (3,7%). Tingginya frekuensi proses mental dan material menjadikan album SOS berbeda dari korpus lirik lagu lainnya serta mencerminkan adanya konflik antara pengalaman emosional dan agensi yang diperdebatkan. Selain itu, konstruksi identitas yang diwujudkan melalui penggunaan proses relasional menunjukkan bahwa penutur memiliki karakter yang berorientasi pada hubungan interpersonal.

This research is qualitative research, namely by providing a systematic and accurate description of code switching and mixing in social interactions among students on the Graha Nusantara University Padangsidimpuan campus. we can find that the interactions carried out by students on campus actually involve code switching, this is due to the mastery of more than one language and then the speaker, listener, the presence of a third person, informal conversations used in the campus area. And what causes code mixing to occur is the use of popular terms such as the phrase "kapan manyabi", the presence of a conversation partner, the presence of a third person and to evoke a sense of humor.

This study investigates the evaluative language used by Donald Trump in his speech concerning Harvard University’s treatment of foreign students, employing the Attitude system from Appraisal Theory. Focusing on three subsystems such as Affect, Judgement, and Appreciation. This study analyzes how Trump constructs his political persona, positions ideological others, and frames educational policy within nationalist discourse. The data were drawn from transcribed segments of a publicly available speech and analyzed qualitatively using Appraisal Theory as the primary analytical framework. The findings reveal that Judgement was the most dominant Attitude type (44.29%), followed by Appreciation (35.71%) and Affect (20%). Most evaluations (58.57%) were directed toward others (especially institutions and political actors), while the remaining 41.43% targeted the speaker himself. The overall evaluative polarity was predominantly negative (61.43%), with positive evaluations accounting for 38.57% of the data. Trump frequently praised his own leadership capacity while expressing dissatisfaction or moral condemnation toward elite institutions. Notably, this study highlights a rarely examined theme in Trump’s discourse: education policy. By framing foreign students as victims and elite universities as ideologically flawed, Trump repositions the education sector as a site of political contestation. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on political discourse by extending Appraisal analysis into the educational domain, revealing how evaluative meanings shape public narratives beyond traditional themes like war and immigration.

This study examines the interpersonal meaning realized through the mood system in The Little Prince by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry using the framework of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Drawing on the theories proposed by M.A.K. Halliday and further elaborated by Suzanne Eggins as well as Linda Gerot and Peter Wignell, this research focuses on how mood choices declarative, interrogative, and imperative are used by the main characters, namely the Prince and the Pilot, to construct interpersonal relationships.The data were taken from selected dialogues in the novel, particularly those that highlight interactions between the two main characters. The analysis applies the concept of the clause as exchange, identifying the Mood element (Subject and Finite) and Residue to determine the type and function of each clause. The findings reveal that declarative clauses are predominantly used to convey information and express philosophical reflections, while interrogative clauses indicate curiosity and exploration, especially from the Prince. Imperative clauses appear less frequently but reflect moments of request or subtle authority.Overall, the study shows that mood choices play a significant role in shaping the interpersonal dynamics between characters. The Prince tends to use more interrogatives, reflecting innocence and curiosity, whereas the Pilot relies more on declaratives, indicating experience and narrative control. This study contributes to SFL-based literary analysis by highlighting how grammatical choices can reveal deeper meanings and character relationships within a narrative text.
