Abstract

Cohesive devices have a significant role to play in producing text writing. Because cohesive devices do not just show one unity in a text but also express the sustainability of a sentence that is between one sentence and a sentence that other and even between one paragraph with another paragraph in the text. The generic structure function is making the sentences in a text neater and more structured. This research aimed to evaluate the use of cohesive devices and generic structure in students’ recount text at the English Department of UIN Alauddin Makassar. This study adopted the theory of Hasan & Halliday (1976). The result shows that the most contribution of cohesive devices in students’ recount texts is provided by conjunction especially the use of causal conjunction. Then, it followed by the use of reference, substitution, and ellipsis. It indicated that most of the students used the conjunctions in their recount texts to realize the relationship of how the subsequent sentence or clause should be linked to the following sentence. Then, based on the evaluation of the use of generic structures in students’ recount texts, it is can be concluded that all of the thirty recount texts of UINAM fifth-semester used the orientation, events, and re-orientation in their recount texts. Further, both cohesive devices and generic structures are related to each other to create a good text. The use of cohesive devices and generic structures in students’ recount texts affects the quality of texts that are produced by the students. It means that the use of cohesive devices and generic structures is very important in developing a good text.

Abstract

Interpersonal Metafunction of a speech refers to the way speakers and audiences establish and maintain the relations among themselves and influence their behaviors. Analyzing interpersonal meaning in speech is very useful to see how the speakers interact with the listeners. This research analyzed three speeches of Donald Trump’s 2020 speeches. It analyzed mood, modality, mood and modality relation, and the conceptual application of the findings toward English Language Teaching. It used the Systemic Functional Linguistics theory by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). The result shows that Donald Trump mostly used a declarative mood to give American information as much as possible. Donald Trump mostly used the median degree of Inclination because his ability to protect the American people was not strong enough at the time because he and his people had not provided vaccines. In the mood and modality relationship, it was expressed the seriousness of the situation and prevention act, commitment, empathy, and encouragement. Further, the conceptual application of the findings toward English Language Teaching concluded that mood and modality are very useful in teaching writing because they can give them understanding and knowledge about grammatical features of Mood and modality.

Abstract

Hedges, to be softened and weaken the claims, which avoid being blamed, and the claim can be accepted, play an essential role in presenting academic research in masters’ theses abstracts. This case study aimed to explain the comparison of hedges in the English and Indonesian graduate programs theses abstracts. The qualitative analysis was undertaken into five sub-research questions to find out the English department's hedges, the Indonesian department's hedges, the similarities and differences between both and its consequences. The analysis was employed based on the taxonomy of Hyland (1998) manually. The sample was thirty master’s thesis abstracts of graduate students from the English and Indonesian graduate programs Universitas Negeri Semarang, published from 2018 to 2022 and accessed through an online library. The finding reveals that hedging functions such as writer-oriented hedges, accuracy-oriented hedges, and reader-oriented hedges are realized in English, and Indonesian thesis abstracts are mostly similar. Besides, the analysis finds some differences. One of them is the similar term employed to reach different hedging pragmatic functions. The study's finding concludes that the English graduate program tends to use writer-oriented hedges more, expressing the unwillingness of the writers to be seen entirely in their propositions. In contrast, the Indonesian graduate program tends to engage the readers by utilizing reader-oriented hedges more often than English graduate program students.
