Abstract

This study aims to analyze the use of relational processes in an article entitled "Highlights of the First 100 Days of the Red and White Cabinet" using the Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) approach proposed by Halliday. The main focus of the analysis is to identify the relational modes contained in the relational process, namely identifying and attributive. The research data are clauses containing relational processes found in the article. The analysis method used is a descriptive qualitative method. The results of this analysis indicate that there are thirteen clauses identified as containing relational processes. Of the thirteen data, five of them are attributive relational processes and eight are identifying relational processes. It can be seen that identifying processes dominate in this text, proving that this text tends to build identity and also the role of policy and also the government to strengthen the image in the first hundred days of its administration. Thus, this study confirms that relational processes not only function as grammatical means, but also as a tool for building political meaning and image in a government discourse.Key words : attributive, Halliday, identifying, relational process, SFL
