The secondary data covers the social backgrounds and personality of Jokowi. The data analysis is carried out by applying SFL theory of Pragmatics and Discourse. The result of this study shows that the function of Jokowi’s expression is systematized as in mood variation. From the data of clauses showing expressive utterance, it can be explained that the characteristics of Jokowi’s utterances reflect his personality based on the context of utterances. Moreover, based on mood variation, the use of finite can be seen from Auxillary, pronoun, and modality. These components explain Jokowi’s joys and thanks to the audience.
