An Interpersonal Functions Analysis Through Mood And Modality In “Crazy Rich Asian” Movie (A Study At Department Of English Language Education, UIN Ar-Raniry)

I conducted a study entitled “An Interpersonal Function Analysis through Mood and Modality in Crazy Rich Asian Movie”. The Objective of this study were to find out the most dominant mood and modality type that was spoken by the main character in the movie and to analyze the Interpersonal functions through mood and modality in the movie. This study used a systemic functional linguistics (SFL) approach, especially the Interpersonal Meta-function proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). The data are collected from the utterances spoken by Rachel Chu, the main character of the movie, who represents an Asian American identity in a foreign context. The data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis methods. The technique of analysis involved categorization. The results showed that the most dominant mood type is declarative, which accounted for 75.5% of Rachel Chu's utterances, and the most dominant modality type is Modalization with the Medium value, which accounted for 68% of the total number of clauses. The mood and modality choices reflect the characters’ attitudes, intentions, and relationships in the Crazy Rich Asian movie.
