| dc.description.abstract | This thesis analyses three lyrical texts of intimate relationship: When The
Music’s Over, Hello I Love You and Shaman’s Blues by The Doors. The theory used
to analyze is Halliday’s Systemic Functional Linguistics. This analysis is intended to
know how lexicogrammatical patterns (Transitivity, Mood and Theme) are realized
by semantic components (Experiential, Interpersonal and Textual Meanings). Then,
semantic components are realized by situational dimensions (Field, Tenor and Mode).
This thesis uses a multi-methods research which consists of qualitative and
quantitative research to find out the concepts relevant to the theoretical framework of
the research. Qualitative data are used to obtain the verbal descriptions, namely three
lyrical texts. While, quantitative data are used to measure the results of the data. The
descriptive method is used to describe lexicogrammatical patterns, semantic
components and situational dimensions. Subsequently, the measurement method is
used to compare and correlate the findings in order to elaborate or sum up in detail
the descriptions of qualitative method.
The results of this thesis indicate that the three lyrical texts share the same
Tenor: the interaction of two lovers. However, they differ in several ways. The Field
of first lyrical text is the persuasion of coming back; whereas the Mode is a
persuasive text. The Field of second lyrical text is the declaration of love; meanwhile
the Mode is a declarative text. The Field of third lyrical text is the description of a
girl’s feelings and thoughts about a man, and the Mode is an expository text. In
conclusion, Systemic Functional Linguistics is used to analyze three lyrical texts in
order to know how the texts are closely related in terms of the intimate relationship. | en_US |
