摘要：This paper brings the view of Hallidayan systemic-functional grammar focused on mood that realizes interpersonal metafunction of meaning. Based on Systemic Functional Linguistic (SFL) theory, mood text in this paper viewed from mood system, modality, mood structure, and interpersonal metafunction of meaning. This paper used spoken data collected from the observation of four sessions of proposing to a girl or in Waijewa language called Kette Katonga Weri Kawendo hereon abbreviated to KKWK, happened in Wewewa society. Based on the data analysis, it was found out that mood system in text consisted of indicative and imperative. Indicative covered declarative and interrogative. Declarative consisted of exclamation and affirmative. Affirmative type was the most used which consisted of 2.596 (83%) use number. This was caused by clauses repetition used by tenors. Whereas, exclamative was the least used which consisted of 37 (1.2%) use number. This fact indicated that tenor was not allowed to be opened relating to their background social status. Predicate were either followed or preceded by modality. Modalisation was used by groom’s parent, whereas modulation was used by bride’s parent. Mood structure of affirmative was S^P; exclamative was EW^S^P; imperative is P^C/ C^P; yes/no interrogative was P^S)/ (P^C)/ (S^P); and wh-interrogative was QW^ P^S. Interpersonal metafunction of meaning was aimed to get information, give information, and to state opinion of decision made, such as choosing mediators, stating and requesting dowries number, stating time for completing dowries, time to take the bride to groom’splace, and time to get marry.
