English Mood Clause
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 8
Abstract
English is very dynamic and can be studied with various approaches, one of which is systemic functional grammar pioneered by Halliday. With this system the language is not only viewed from the structure alone, but rather its function. This research focused on the mood of the interpersonal clauses that produce meaningful messages in communication. The aim of this research is to identify and classify the types of English mood clause and their function in building communication.Descriptive analysis with systemic functional grammar approach has been applied in this research. The data were taken from a drama script entitled Road Trip by Fred lane. First, the data analysis was conducted by identifying the mood in interpersonal clauses of the script. Then, they were classified according to their types and function based on the concept of Halliday and Matthiessen (2014).The result showed that the types of mood clause indentified in the drama script are declarative (15), negative (4), polar question (4), WH-question (4), and imperative (2). They have their own role in delivering messages in communication which are to give information, demand information, give goods-&- service, and demand goods-&-service. Declarative clauses are very dominant in this drama that emphasize their function in giving information. This implies the speakers intended to give more information about various things such as their feeling, situation, experience, etc.It can be concluded that being able to identify and classify the mood clause and its function facilitate us to deliver the messages properly and also to respond them effectively and meaningfully
