A. Background of the Study
Language as one of social aspects of human life is the most important means of communication in any society. Language is a human system of communication ideas comprehensibly from one person to another that uses arbitrary signals, such as voice sounds, gestures, and written symbols in such a way that the other will be able to act exactly said by Richard Nordquist. It seems imposible to communicate with others without using language. While Halliday in Sandra J. Savignon defines three basic functions of language that correspond to general categories of needs met by language :
1. Language serves for the expression of “content” : that is, of the speaker’s experience of the real world, including the inner world of his own consciousness. We may call this the ideational function.
2. Language serves to establish and maintain social relations, which may refer to as interpersonal functional.
3. Finally, language has to provide for making links with itself and with features of the situation in which it is used. We may call this the ???????.
