The place of systemic functional linguistics as a linguistic theory in the twenty-first century

Abstrak: Penerapan Modalitas Metafora Interpersona pada Ayat-Ayat Suci al-Qur’an. Artikel ini merupakan hasil penelitian deskriptif kualitatif yang menguji teori moda metafora interpersonal yang digagas oleh Halliday (1994) apakah relevan diaplikasikan pada ayat-ayat suci al-Qur’an. Metafora interpersona yang dipergunakan dalam survey ini meliputi tiga jenis moda yaitu moda indikatif, moda interogatif dan moda imperatif. Akan tetapi penelitian ini tidak mencakup metafora interpersonal modalitas. Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa banyak ayat suci al-Qur’an yang menggunakan transfer moda dalam mengemukakan pesan: sebahagian moda indikatif diekspresikan dalam bentuk interogatif dan imperatif, sebahagian moda imperatif diekspresikan dalam bentuk indikatif dan interogatif, dan beberapa moda interogatif diekspresikan dalam moda indikatif dan imperatif. Hal ini berarti bahwa teori metafora interpersona yang dipelopori Halliday dapat disahkan sebagai teori linguistik yang memenuhi standar. Abstract:This article is the result of a descriptive qualitative research which examine to what extent the theory of Interpersonal Metaphor of mood postulated by Halliday (1994) is relevant to be applied to the verses of the Holy al-Qur’an. The Interpersonal Metaphor applied in this survey covers the three kinds of mood which constitute indicative mood, interrogative mood and imperative mood. This work, however, does not cover the Interpersonal Metaphor of modality. The result shows that some verses of the Holy al-Qur’an use the transference of mood in conveying messages: some indicative moods are expressed in the interrogative and imperative, some imperative moods in the indicative and interrogative, and some interrogative moods in the indicative and imperative. The writer maintains that Halliday’s theory of Interpersonal Metaphor can be justified as an adequate linguistic theory.

Multicultural Perspective

A text modality system is a set of views, judgments, and opinions about linguistic phenomena. The theory used in this research is Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), which M.A.K Halliday initiated. This study's problem was to analyze the types and values of the modalities in the debate related to multicultural perspective. The data used in this study were 183 clauses and were analyzed qualitatively by using Functional Systemic Linguistic theory. Based on the results obtained through data analysis, Joko Widodo (Jokowi) nominated a probability modalization that shows the clause function as an exchange of information to express the speaker's attitude towards what he stated. Meanwhile, 80 types of modalities were found in Prabowo Subianto. They were nominated with the necessary modalities, which indicated that personal opinions or considerations were mandatory for the goods and services offered or requested.

Linguistic Philosophy

It is noteworthy that florid descriptions of interaction between linguistics and the philosophy of language are regularly inspired. In this paper, parallels have been drawn between Bakhtin’s philosophical perspectives and Hallidayan theoretical claims of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL). Through the analysis of Bakhtin’s theory of dialogism, heteroglossia, chronotope and metalinguistics, I argue that Hallidayan Systemic Functional Linguistic theory is compatible with Bakhtin’s philosophical perspectives to a great extent in terms of the close relations between speech genre and register, heteroglossia and appraisal theory as well as metalinguistics and metafunctions. It is safe to say that as a precursor, Bakhtin has a profound influence on socio-semioticians like Halliday who has expounded in linguistics.
