Abstract

This research explores the textual metafunction of the choir song "Elijah Rock" by Moses Hogan through the lens of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), employing Suzanne Eggins' model of analysis. By examining the song's lyrical structure, the study aims to uncover how thematic organization, cohesion, and information flow contribute to the overall meaning and emotional impact of the piece. The analysis identifies key thematic elements, such as the recurring motif of "Elijah," as topical theme; the use of other topical themes such as: “come on”, “tell”, “comin’ up”,  “Satan”; “He”; and “I”; the use of textual theme “if” and “Oh” highlights the extensive use of repetition and parallelism, which enhance textual coherence. Through a qualitative content analysis, the research demonstrates how linguistic features not only create a unified text but also resonate with the cultural and historical significance of African American spirituals. The findings reveal that the interplay between textual structure and musical expression plays a vital role in conveying the song's message and engaging audiences. This study contributes to the growing body of literature on the intersection of linguistics and music, offering valuable insights for future research in both fields.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the textual function in the Merdeka Belajar English textbook for 11th- grade vocational high school students using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach developed by M.A.K. Halliday. Employing a descriptive qualitative method and the interactive analysis model of Miles, Huberman, and Saldaña (2014), the study examines 37 sentences from exposition and image-based texts in Chapter 1 of the textbook. The analysis focuses on mood types and theme-rheme structures. The findings reveal that declarative mood is the most dominant (78.3%), highlighting the informative and explanatory nature of the texts. Interrogative (18.9%) are used rhetorically to engage readers, while one nominal fragment (2.7%) is also identified. All sentences (100%) contain a complete Theme–Rheme structure. Modal elements and finite verbal operators each appear in 16.2% of the data, indicating interpersonal interaction. Textual markers such as conjunctions (8.1%), conjunctive adjuncts (5.4%), and continuatives (2.7%) further support cohesion.This consistent use of thematic and mood structures supports coherence, facilitates reader comprehension, and enhances the effectiveness of the learning materials. The study provides insights for improving English textbook design tailored to vocational education needs. The analysis reveals that all three textual functions; Topical, Textual, and Interpersonal Themes are realized, with the Topical Theme being the most dominant. This highlights the text’s focus on clarity and structured information flow, while the minimal use of Interpersonal and Textual Themes reflects a formal, straightforward expository style.
