Abstract
AbstractGrammatical metaphor is the transference in the expression of meanings from a congruent representation to another incongruent realization which involves changes in the level of clauses, groups/phrases, words and morphemes. Grammatical metaphor of mood could be found in a conversation by making an identification of speech function based on the utterances whether it was statement, question, command or offer. SFL which is proposed by Halliday (1994) became the theory that would be used to analyzed the function of mood in the conversation between God and Moses regarded with Interpersonal Function. This research aimed to examine about the types of grammatical metaphor of mood and the way it was realized in the conversation between God and Moses. This research applied qualitative descriptive approach. The conversation was taken from Bible because Bible is one of the book that have a great contribution from language side which would not change from age to age. The data would be taken from the conversation between God and Moses at Horeb The Mountain of God in the form of clause and phrase. The source of data in this research is the Holy Bible Exodus 3-19 NIV (New International Version) which is published by Zondervan. Keywords: Grammatical Metaphor, Mood, Speech Function, Coding, Conversation
Highlights
Language is closely related to discourse because discourse is a language above the sentence or above the clause based on Stubbs (1983: 1)
4.1.1 Acknowledged statement Realized in Declarative Halliday (1994) states that acknowledged statement realized in declarative is one of the types of grammatical metaphor of mood because if the speech functions are in line, the acknowledged statement is realized in the elliptical declarative mood; but, in the data acknowledged statement is realized in the form of declarative mood
From the five types of grammatical metaphor of mood found in the conversations between God and Moses, acknowledged statement realized in declarative involved the types of grammatical metaphor of mood because of the speech function and the mood were not in line with its function, which should be realized in the form elliptical declarative mood
Summary
Language is closely related to discourse because discourse is a language above the sentence or above the clause based on Stubbs (1983: 1). Discourse is a conceptual generalization of conversation within each modality and context of communication. Hymes (1967) refers to the basic units of conversational analysis as language or speech events. A speech event occurs in a speech community. One’s ability to understand and apply the language rules for communication is known as communicative competence in contrast to linguistic competence which is one’s ability to understand language as system in itself (language is knowledge), see Sinar (2002)
