ABSTRACT This is a qualitative descriptive and comparative research of Other Opinion and Your Letters texts based on Systemic Functional Linguistics approach in The Jakarta Post newspaper. The problem statements of this thesis are (1) how is the register, (2) what is the genre, (3) what is the ideology, (4)what are the similarities between the texts?. The main purpose of the research is to describe and to compare the register, the genre, and the ideology of two texts and finally to know the similarities and differences of the texts. The data were further observed and analyzed by describing the lexicogrammar, interpreting register, genre and finally were discussed to find out the writer’s ideology and to figure out the similarities and the differences of all texts exposed in different column. The interpretation of register explores three aspects, namely field, tenor, and mode. The interpretation of field shows that all texts basically have the same issue, that is, all texts illuminate the controvercy of foreign military aids for Aceh. The interpretation of tenor notes that the status of the writers to the readers is generally equal. Unequal status happens between the writer of text 1 and the inside partipcipants of text 1. This is caused by the aim of the writer. Meanwhile, the status of the writer of text 2 to the inside participants of the text is equal. The judgement of the writers to the issue is either positive or negative; and commonly positive to the readers. The contact indicates that the readers are uninvolved in the texts. Moreover, all texts show highly-familiarity for the readers. The third aspect of register, mode, signs that text in Other Opinion column tends to use spoken-written language, while the text in Your Letters likely tends to be written language. The texts employ exposition and discussion genre. The text in Other Opinion column is inclined to employ complete obligatory elements to argue the issue, i.e., arguments in one or more sides. However, the absence of recommendation is intended to let the readers decide it by themselves. Meanwhile, the texts in Your Letters column merely use thesis and one-sided argument as the main obligatory feature to argue the issue supported by preview, elaboration, and background. Further, since the texts employ exposition and discussion genre, the writers’ ideology may be antagonist or protagonist. Text 1 is indicated as owning to left antagonist for the writer directly present the arguments or suggestion from one side. Left used in this case is to challenge the issue. Meanwhile, the text indentified as belonging to protagonist is text 2. The protagonist writer prefers discussing the issue by presenting the arguments from two opposite sides, before at last choosing the one side. The writer of text 2 has right protagonist or support the issue.
