An Analysis of Mood Block Mood On Student New Item Text

Abstract

Making meaning opens up new worlds, deepens our comprehension of the environment, and offers infinite chances for both personal and professional development. This study highlights the importance of systemic functional analysis as a valuable tool for examining the linguistic features of different text types. Specifically, the focus is on applying this analysis to news item texts written by students from 12^th grade from SMAN 11 Garut. By investigating the mood blocks in the students texts, including subject choices, mood types, and clause structures, the study aims to determine if these tests align with the linguistic features commonly found in news item texts. However, a notable gap in the existing research is the lack of analysis regarding the interrelationship between mood blocks. Therefore, this study seeks to bridge this gap and provide insights into the analytical relationship within mood blocks, shedding light on the students’ ability to produce news item texts that accurately match the genre’s linguistic characteristics.
