Salsabila Annisa Putri, Setyo Prasiyanto Cahyono

Abstract


The study of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) focuses on the functionality of language in social contexts. Appraisal is a recent theoretical framework that clarifies the interpersonal dialogistic semantics dimension of Systemic Functional Linguistics (Martin, 2005). This study aimed at investigating and analyzing one of the Appraisal subsystems, specifically in Graduation system. The data of this study were obtained through a qualitative method by downloading a virtual press conference transcript from the World Health Organization (WHO) purposively. Meanwhile, in analyzing the data, the researchers apply appraisal subsystem of graduation consisting of force and focus proposed by Martin and White (2005). The result of this study reveals that focus is the most dominant found in the data followed by force. Focus tends to give sharpness or softness of the speakers’ utterances so it can be well received by the audience or hearers.
