Abstract

This study aims to explain the relationship between ideational metafunction and social context. The research method is descriptive with qualitative and quantitative approaches. Sources of data are from over-the-counter medication leaflets analyzed by the theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (LSF). The results show that the schematic structure use descriptive and instructive genres containing remarks and steps of medication use. Based on the ideational metafunction analysis and the context of situation, the purpose of the producer to issue the leaflet can be known. The conclusion is through the material and circumstantial processes associated with the context of situation as the producer wants to convey to the consumers what medication is to be completely understood. Through diction well- understood by the public, the consumers understand the nature and the way of consuming the medication.
