Abstract

Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is the choice of analysis theory offering the effective tools to analyse the language difficulties and vagueness. One of the systemic analysis tools is clause complex which can simplify the structural and grammatical meanings of the analysed texts through the use of taxis systems and logico-semantic relations (Sagheer Eid, 2016). The proposed study is aimed at analysing systemic functional analysis of clause complex realised in a short story adopting Hallidayan linguistics perspective. The short story is taken from the collection of short stories entitled “The Whispering Knights” by Clare West. From the aforementioned short stories collection, the writers take a short story entitled “The Witch’s Brew” written by Penelope Lively. By means of a descriptive study under Systemic Functional Linguistics theory as suggested by Halliday & Matthiessen (2014), the writers employ the analysis of taxis systems which cover elaboration, extension, and enhancement. Besides, logico-semantic relation is also analysed which covers projection and expansion. The findings reveal that there are 158 clause complexes which consist of 58 clause complexes of parataxis which are realized 37%, and 40 clause complexes of hypotaxis which are realised 25.3%. In conclusion, the short story is written by the dominant of parataxis then hypotaxis constructions.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Despite the continuous debate regarding whether it is necessary to teach grammar explicitly or implicitly in the language classroom, the debaters could agree that grammar awareness is significant for language learners. Many methods have been conducted by language teachers or researchers to promote language learners’ grammar awareness, and one of them is through ideally designed task activities. Grammar awareness is a particular skill in language learning which can be acquired which is quite different from other language skills which deal with language productions or language comprehensions. Grammar awareness is a skill which could allow its possessor to identify the structure of a language rather than the meaning. Therefore, the activities to promote this skill should be logically different from activities to promote either production skills or comprehension skills. The purpose of this paper is to provide several alternatives, especially classroom activities, to promote grammar awareness which can be used effectively.  Keywords: grammar awareness, activities, language, explicitly, implicitly
