Muhtasari	Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL) is a framework for analyzing language developed by Michael Halliday, viewing language as a system of meaning-making choices where speakers select from available options to express meanings. The approach emphasizes the relationship between language form and social context, analyzing how register (field, tenor, mode) shapes linguistic choices and how language constructs meaning through metafunctional systems (ideational, interpersonal, textual). SFL is widely applied to discourse analysis, language education, and computational linguistics.	Discourse analysis is a qualitative research methodology that examines how language, communication, and power shape meaning, identity, and social reality. Developed across linguistics, sociology, and psychology (particularly by Norman Fairclough and Jonathan Potter), discourse analysis goes beyond content to analyze language use as a social practice that constitutes and reflects power relations, ideologies, and social structures.
