This study aims to determine the realization of textual metafunctions
and the types of themes that are dominated in speeches about mental
health on the TEDxSalem YouTube channel entitled 'Why you should
take a break: Prioritizing mental health in schools and brought by
Hailey Hardcastle. The method in this research is qualitative with a
content analysis approach. The data was obtained from the speech text
and the data were analyzed using Halliday's Theory by considering the
data analysis steps proposed by Gay et al. From the results of the
analysis, it was found that the realization of the textual metafunction in
Hailey Hardcastle's speech was applied. Found 105 clauses in the
speech. And in those 105 clauses, there are themes and rhymes that
mediate messages to their listeners. So it can be concluded that based on
the textual metafunction perspective, the speaker tries to attract the
listener's attention to focus more on the message of what is being said,
and gives a lot of statements to tell the listener his confession that
mental health should be considered the same as physical health and
preferably starting at an early age.
