Abstract

Abstract. This Hallidayan-based study aimed to investigate the representation of consumptive and productive behaviours in English textbooks for senior high school students. To obtain the purpose of this study, two grade-12 English textbooks used nationally in Indonesia were purposively selected. Then reading texts about finance issues were analysed by employing the Hallidayan SFL framework of material clause. Based on the analysis, it was found that the dominant material clauses (40%) in the books construe productive behaviours while the second frequent ones (32%) represent consumptive behaviours. However, there is the tendency to represent money as a goal. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to developing finance literacy in English textbook materials for Indonesian senior-high-school students. While the portrayal of productive behaviours in textbooks is salient for the development of their finance literacy, there is also a need to avoid building money-oriented paradigmKeywords: Productive, consumptive, behaviours, textbook, SFL

Abstract

Abstract. This study aims to identify both lexical and contextual meanings found in song lyrics, and to determine which type of meaning is more dominant in Billie Eilish’s album Happier Than Ever. The data source for this research is the lyrics from the album, analyzed using lexical and contextual meaning theories. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method and focuses on five selected songs: Getting Older, I Didn’t Change My Number, Billie Bossa Nova, My Future, and Not My Responsibility.” The analysis is based on the theories of lexical and contextual meaning proposed by Parera and Chaer. The results reveal: 1) 16 lexical meanings are identified, consisting of two types; synonymy and polysemy. Moreover, 28 contextual meanings were found, categorized into four types: mood context, situational context, time context, and purpose context 2)The analysis concludes that contextual meaning is more dominant than lexical meaning in the lyrics. This study contributes to linguistics and cultural analysis by showing how popular music uses language to express and reflect social, emotional, and individual experiences, highlighting the close relationship between language and culture.
