 AbstractGrammatical metaphor is the transference in the expression of meanings from a congruent representation to another incongruent realization which involves changes in the level of clauses, groups/phrases, words and morphemes. Grammatical metaphor of mood could be found in a conversation by making an identification of speech function based on the utterances whether it was statement, question, command or offer. SFL which is proposed by Halliday (1994) became the theory that would be used to analyzed the function of mood in the conversation between God and Moses regarded with Interpersonal Function. This research aimed to examine about the types of grammatical metaphor of mood and the way it was realized in the conversation between God and Moses. This research applied qualitative descriptive approach. The conversation was taken from Bible because Bible is one of the book that have a great contribution from language side which would not change from age to age. The data would be taken from the conversation between God and Moses at Horeb The Mountain of God in the form of clause and phrase. The source of data in this research is the Holy Bible Exodus 3-19 NIV (New International Version) which is published by Zondervan. Keywords: Grammatical Metaphor, Mood, Speech Function, Coding, Conversation

Abstract Widely studied in fields like education, psychology, and linguistics, readability can be defined as (a) reader’s understanding of a reading text, (b) features of a text, or (c) the matching of a text to its reader. The existing research has been focused on the formulaic and multilevel discourse approaches, relatively neglecting others such as systemic functional linguistics oriented one. Moreover, contemporary reading materials pose as a challenge for average children in many ways. This study examines readability and adaptation of children’s literary works from the perspective of ideational grammatical metaphor inspired by systemic functional linguistics. Through case studies of metaphorical transferences involving zero, one, two, and three ideational grammatical metaphors used in the parallel excerpts in the original version of Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and its eight adapted ones published in China, it is concluded that addition, maintenance, revision, unpacking, and demetaphorization are five major strategies which are found to decrease, maintain, or increase readability of some parts in the adapted versions.

Abstract This introduction comprises four main sections. Section 1 introduces the overall theoretical architecture of Systemic Functional Linguistics (hereafter SFL) by way of contextualising the focus on interpersonal grammar in this special issue. Section 2 looks in more detail at the interpersonal discourse semantics underlying this work, briefly introducing the systems of negotiation and appraisal realised through interpersonal grammar. Section 3 turns to the concept of grammatical metaphor, a concept which bears critically on the realisation relationship between interpersonal discourse semantics and lexicogrammar in SFL. Section 4 comments on the challenge of intradisciplinary dialogue.
