“…The concern here is basically directed to relating a text to its main focus. Thus, the analysis of lexical relations can be The findings of this study corroborates the previous studies which affirmed, the choice of words might be beneficial for the coherence and cohesiveness of speech text (Bu, Connorlinton, & Wang, 2020;Chu & Huang, 2020;Gusthini, Sobarna, & Amalia, 2018;Poulimenou, Stamou, Papavlasopoulos, & Poulos, 2016;Qian & Pan, 2019;Risberg & Lymer, 2020;Hopke & Simis, 2016;Horváth, 2017;Moragas-fernández, Calvo, & Capdevila, 2018;Nartey, 2018;Da Cunha, 2019;Xuan, 2017;Jitpranne, 2018;Schubert, 2019;Silke, Quinn, & Rieder, 2019;Zhan & Huang, 2018) By and large this study focused on how words and grammatical structures are formed or constructed in creating a certain meaning. In functional linguistics, words choice, context, and meaning" are widely accepted as principles to form the text.…”

“…The aspect in question is pivotal to judge the speaker's or writer's message. In addition, the coherence and cohesiveness of speech text are definitely determined by the choice of words and speech acts employment (Bu, Connor-linton, & Wang, 2020;Chu & Huang, 2020;Gusthini, Sobarna, & Amalia, 2018;Poulimenou, Stamou, Papavlasopoulos, & Poulos, 2016;Qian & Pan, 2019;Risberg & Lymer, 2020;Hopke & Simis, 2016;Horváth, 2017;Kelly, 2020 Capdevila, 2018;Nartey, 2018;da Cunha, 2019;Xuan, 2017;Jitpranne, 2018;Martin Zappavigna, 2029;Schubert, 2019;Silke, Quinn, & Rieder, 2019;Zhan & Huang, 2018).…”

This study is concerned with discourse semantic analysis of three selected victory speeches of the US Presidents. It was conducted for and aimed at describing, explaining, and analyzing the field, the interpersonal meaning (tenor) the mode of the texts, the schematic structure, and the unity of the texts by using Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) as the basis of analysis. The speech texts were changed into clauses and then analyzed. The results of the analysis found that the register category of field is similar. The transitivity patterns of the grammar, reference, and lexical string analysis share common features that is the realization of experiential action done by the speaker and audience for the progress of America. The interpersonal meaning of the texts is slightly different, in which, Joe Biden and Barack Obama established an intimate relationship with the audience, while in Donald trump’s text, the sense of intimacy and the distance with the audience are far. Since the nominal groups used were simple, the mode of all texts belongs to the spoken mode. Besides, In terms of schematic structure, the texts were constructed similarly consisting of an introduction, body, and conclusion. Finally, this study also found that the anaphoric reference which was predominantly used, a good pattern of conjunction relations, and lexical relations between lexical items appearing cross clauses categorize the texts as being highly cohesive.

“…Metaphor is regarded as a prevailing way and a rhetoric dimension to frame political issues of political actors in their speech (Kelly, 2020;Moragas-fernández, Calvo, & Capdevila, 2018;Nartey, 2018). Meanwhile, cohesion devices and other linguistics resources could differently contribute to frame a comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of any kind of genre or text types (da Cunha, 2019;Xuan, 2017;Jitpranne, 2018;Martin Zappavigna, 2029;Schubert, 2019;Silke, Quinn, & Rieder, 2019;Zhan & Huang, 2018).…”

Text analysis was mainly concerned with the ideational function and textual function. Besides, macro aspect has been regarded as the most text structure examined in previous studies. Regardless of those three aspects, this study focused on the interpersonal function analysis of political speech text, by taking an example of Joe Biden’s victory speech. The purposed theory namely Systemic Functional Linguistics theory (SFL) was then applied to analyze the text. The analysis was conducted by modifying the speech text into clauses which were subsequently analyzed in accordance with the goal of the analysis. Data analysis revealed that the speech established an intimate relationship and a close distance with the audience. As such, the speaker enables to gain support and exchange information through the use of linguistics resources namely declarative clause in the mood structure, modality, and pronoun "we". As a conclusion, different use of mood, modality, and personal pronouns might determine the different level of interpersonal function of a text. This study has a great impact on language teaching and learning in terms of maintaining social relationships and exchanging meanings between teachers and students by taking into account the link between linguistic resources and the nature of texts.

“…Specialized discourse genres in Spanish have been more widely studied during the last two decades. However, the epistolary genre of scientific and specialized discourse is a relatively unexplored field (Ciapuscio & López Ferrero, 2021); previous studies on professional letters are even more scarce: it is worth mentioning the works on job application letters (Díaz & Lucha, 2018;da Cunha & Montané, 2020) and those that focus on the letters of complaint (Pastor Villalba, 2011) from a Spanish-German contrastive perspective. There seem to be no other studies on the business agreement letter in Spanish yet.…”

This paper stems from the conviction that Linguistics should not be limited to description and theorisation efforts, but also assume a more active and committed role in improving the exchanges that take place in the field of specialised or professional communication. The purpose of this article is twofold: to describe and characterize a prospective professional genre, the business agreement letter, and to provide specific knowledge about the linguistic expertise process on the basis of a relevant experience.
