of grammatical and lexical cohesion within a text. The text analyzed in this thesis
is in the form of radio script. The script entitles Cliffhanger: Rock Climbing as
Sport and Art which is taken from VOA “Special English” radio broadcast. The
script is derived from the show aired in December 2009. The writer intends to find
out what grammatical cohesive devices (reference, substitution, ellipsis, and
conjunction) and lexical cohesive devices (repetition, synonym, antonym,
hyponym, meronym, and collocation) are in the script and their contribution in
making the script coherent and unified. The data applied in this writing are
qualitative data which mean the data are written text. Data collection in this thesis
is documentary study. This thesis is a descriptive study which elaborates
grammatical cohesive devices and lexical cohesive devices and their contribution
in the script. The result of this thesis indicates that the cohesive devices help to

In this thesis, I will focus on the systemic functional analysis on the lyrical text of song. Systemic functional is derived from two words that are systemic and functional. The theory is systemic because language is interpreted as a system network of meanings (choices or options) realized by the forms. And the theory is functional because language functions as a resource for making meanings. The song will be analyzed in this thesis is Avenged Sevenfold’s song: Afterlife. Avenged Sevenfold is an American rock band from Huntington Beach, California, formed in 1999. The band consists of vocalist Matthew Charles Sanders (M. Shadows), lead guitarist Brian Elwin Haner Jr. (Synyster Gates), rhythm guitarist Zachary James Baker (Zacky Vengeance) and bassist Jonathan Lewis Seward (Johnny Christ). In December 2009, the drummer James Owen Sullivan or The Rev died of a drug overdose, and then the band replaced him with the Dream Theater drummer Mike Portnoy. The song Afterlife talks about a man who dies early and finds himself in heaven. But, he realizes that he has too many things to do on Earth, and to go back and make it right he has to escape from the afterlife. The problem in this thesis is how to find out the lexicogrammatical patterns, semantic component, cohesive devices, and situational dimensions on the Avenged Sevenfold’s song: Afterlife. The result of this analysis shows that lexicogrammatical patterns (Transitivity, Mood and Theme) explain semantic components (Experiential meaning, Interpersonal meaning and textual meaning), cohesive chains explain cohesive devices (Lexical Cohesion and Personal Reference), and also semantic components and cohesive devices explain situational dimensions (Field, Tenor and Mode).
