Abstract

Interpersonal metafunction is an important concept when describing interactions in terms of responding to the act of giving or demanding goods, services, or information (Halliday and Mathiessen (2004). This article examines interpersonal meanings realized in the mood and modality resources of an Interchange Series textbook—the fourth edition textbook used for Grade 3 or Intermediate students. The research u discourse analysis and Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as the main theoretical framework, and the analysis used the mood element as a central resource for the realization of interpersonal meaning. The results show that among the 275 clauses in the 16 texts, declarative sentences dominate (146 or 53.09 percent). Interrogative clauses are much less common (64, or 23.27 percent). None of the texts, therefore, utilize any of the imperative clauses. Furthermore, the number of modalization used in the sixteen texts are probability (26 or 9.45%), usuality (10 or 3.64%), and obligation (9 or 3.27%). This research suggests that forthcoming language textbooks may include examples of interpersonal meaning in terms of speech functions as resources for interaction. The implication is that language teachers could explicitly and systematically teach students interpersonal grammar of exchange that deals with the semantics of speech functions and modality. Teachers and students should be able to critically question textbooks as socio-semiotic agents since interpersonal meaning grammar helps people learn to deconstruct or interactively create spoken texts.

Abstract

The social circumstances of the conversations are significant. When chatting, the speakers must always make reference to those circumstances. Moreover, talks contain meanings that go beyond the utterances as well as literal meanings. This study explored the conversational implicatures in poster posted on the Facebook walls and websites. The data were analyzed using the social context and conversational implicature theories by Gricean typology of speaker meaning (Mey, 2009, p.365). In this investigation, various conversational implicatures were discovered. They include intentional disregard for the maxims, particularized conversational implicature, generalized conversational implicature, and standard implicature with the highest emergence. This study comes to the conclusion that the social circumstances of the participants, such as age, power or social standing, and social distance, have a significant impact on the usage of conversational implicature represented in the poster.

Abstract

This study explores the correlation between students' mastery of functional grammar and their achievement in writing recount texts, conducted within the context of an Islamic boarding school. The research aims to address two main questions: (1) How do male and female students perform in grammar learning and writing skills and (2) Is there a correlation between the mastery of functional grammar and students’ writing skills in junior high school. The study collected the data from eighth-grade students and categorized the results according to gender. The findings demonstrated that male and female students performed slightly differently in functional grammar tests and writing tests. The lowest functional grammar exam score for male students was 58, while it was 52 for female students. In contrast, the top scores for both genders were 97. In the writing assessment, similar differences were found, with male students scoring as low as 60 and female students scoring as low as 48. A group of both male and female students obtained the highest maximum score of 100. This research also investigates the relationship between students' functional grammar mastery and their ability to write factual recount texts. The estimated r-count value of 0.9487 was found to be significantly higher than the r-table value of 0.3550, r-count (0.9487) > r-table (03550) using the Pearson product-moment correlation and a significance level of 0.05, showing a significant positive correlation. Hence, it can be concluded that the implementation of functional grammar has a significant influence in developing students' writing skills on factual recount text with the aim that they are not only able to arrange words into a paragraph, but also able to convey the ideas and meanings they express in their writing.
