ABSTRACT
Firdaus, Jalaluddin Al. 2012. The Sequences of Meanings of The Jakarta Post
Headline News on Fuel Price-Increasing Issue. Skripsi. English Education
Department of Teacher Training and Education Faculty, Muria Kudus
University. Advisor: (i) Dr. H.A. Hilal Madjdi, M.Pd (ii) Agung Dwi
Nurcahyo, SS., M.Pd.
Key words: Key Words: Systemic functional Linguistic, Ideational Meanings,
sequences of meaning, and Text Analysis.
It has been understood that the headline news of the Jakarta Post
Newspaper deal with everyday social life, and that the way the journalist writes
the texts represents the functions of language in daily life. In this point, language
is structured to make three kinds of meanings simultaneously: experiential or
ideational, interpersonal, and textual. Many readers only read and comprehend
what the headline news is about from the headline and first paragraph. They do
not know the real experience of the journalist in collecting the information.
Whereas, all events covered are also important.
The objective of this research is to find out the sequences of meaning of
the headline news on the fuel increasing issue which were written in the Jakarta
Post, published in April 2012. The problems which are investigated are: what are
the sequences of phases of the Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel price-
increasing issue in April 2012?, what are the sequences within phases of the
Jakarta Post headline news on the fuel increasing issue in April 2012?, and what
are the sequences of activities and descriptions of the Jakarta Post headline news
on the fuel increasing issue in April 2012?
The design of this research is text analysis by using Systemic Functional
Linguistics (SFL) theory. The data sources of this research are the headline news
on the fuel price-increasing issue, written during April 2012. The data of this
research is the sequences of meanings realized through texts of the head line news
on the fuel price-increasing issue, written in ‘the Jakarta Post’ during April 2012.
The text is analyzed to unfold the sequences of meaning into sequences of phases,
sequences within phases, and sequences of activities and descriptions.
The result of the research shows that the Jakarta Post headline news on the
fuel price-increasing issue in April 2012 construes sequences of meanings. The
sequences of phases of the texts are classified into facts, comments, and
quotations. The sequences within phases are the sequences of what happen
(events) in the phase. The sequences of activities are the sequences of activities
which tell what the participants do. The descriptions of the text are the description
of quality and identity of the participants.
Because certain meanings are construed in the text, English learner should
must learn about SFL and apply it in certain research and the Lecturer must give a
brief guidance to enrich their knowledge and educational archive about linguistics.

ABSTRAKSI
Firdaus, Jalaluddin Al. 2012. The Sequences of Meanings of The Jakarta Post
Headline News on Fuel Price-Increasing Issue. Skripsi. Program Studi
Bahasa Inggris, Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, Universitas
Muria Kudus. Dosen Pembimbing: (i) Dr. H.A. Hilal Madjdi, M.Pd (ii)
Agung Dwi Nurcahyo, SS., M.Pd.
Kata kunci: Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik, Makna Ideasional, Sekuen Makna,
dan Analisis Teks.
Telah diketahui bersama bahwa “the headline news” bersentuhan dengan
kehidupan sosial sehari-hari, dan bagaimana penulis menulis teksnya
menunjukkan fungsi bahasa dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Dalam pengertian ini,
bahasa dirancang untuk membuat tiga jenis makna secara simultan, yaitu makna
ideasional, interpersonal, and tekstual. Banyak pembaca hanya membaca dan
memahami berita dari headline dan paragraph pertama saja. Mereka tidak tahu
pengalaman real yang didapatkan journalis ketika mengumpulkan informasi.
Padahal keseluruhan text juga merupakan informasi penting yang perlu diketahui.
Penelitian ini bertujuan menemukan sekuen-sekuen makna pada “headline
news” tentang isu kenaikan BBM, dalam surat kabar “the Jakarta Post”, yang
terbit selama bulan April 2012. Masalah yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini adalah:
apa sekuen-sekuen fase, apa sekuen-sekuen yang terdapat dalam fase-fase, dan
apa sekuen aktifitas dan deskripsi dari “headline news” tentang isu kenaikan harga
BBM yang dimuat dalam surat kabar “the Jakarta Post” yang terbit dalam bulan
April 2012?,
Rancangan penelitian ini adalah analisis text dengan menggunakan teori
Linguistik Fungsional Sistemik. Sumber data penelitian ini adalah “headline
news” tentang isu kenaikan harga BBM, yang dimuat selama bulan April 2012.
Data dari penelitian ini adalah sekuen makna yang direalisasikan melalui teks
“headline news” tentang isu kenaikan harga BBM, yang dimuat di ‘the Jakarta
Post’ selama bulan April 2012. Text-text tersebut dianalisa untuk mengungkap
sekuen-sekuen makna ke dalam sekuen per fase, sekuen-sekuen dalam fase,
sekue-sekuen aktifitas dan penggambaran partisipan.
Hasil penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa teks “headline news” tentang isu
kenaikan harga BBM, yang dimuat di ‘the Jakarta Post’ selama bulan April 2012
menafsirkan sekuen-sekuen makna. Sekuen-sekuen fase dalam teks diklasifikan
ke dalam fakta-fakta, komentar-komentar, dan kutipan-kutipan. Sekuen dalam
fase merupakan sekuen kejadian dalam fase. Sekuen aktifitas menceritakan apa
yang dilakukan partisipan sedangkan deskripsi dalam teks adalah penggambaran
tentang kualitas dan identitas partisipan itu.
Karena makna-makna tertentu terkandung di dalam teks, maka para pelajar
Bahasa Inggris harus mempelajari SFL dan menerapkannya ke dalam sebuah
penelitian dan Dosen harus memberikan bimbingan dengan jelas untuk
memperkaya pengetahuan mereka dan arsip-arsip kependidikan seputar linguistik.
