Abstract

          This paper studied the metafunction dimension of the language that appeared in the Thai Revenue news topic. The objective of this research was to study the metafunction in order to analyze the system of Theme, Mood, and Transitivity. The sample consisted of 2,173 Revenue news topics in 21 Thai newspapers between 2010 and 2019. Systemic Functional Grammar in terms of the ideational metafunction, the interpersonal metafunction, and the textual metafunction was applied in data analysis of this research.

          The results of the research revealed that in the system of Theme, the topical theme was the most selected theme used in the texts followed by the interpersonal theme, but the textual theme was not found in the texts. Regarding the system of Mood, the declarative sentences occurred at the highest rate followed by imperative sentences and interrogative sentences respectively. For the system of Transitivity, the material process was the most frequently selected followed by the verbal process, behavioral process, mental process, existential process, and relational process respectively. Therefore, the main features of the Revenue news topic in Thai newspapers can be summarized as a structure consisting of the topical theme in the declarative sentences and the material process.
