CHAPTER I
INTRODUCTION
A. Background of the Study
It cannot be denied that language plays an important role for people as human being. It is commonly used to express our feeling, emotion, ideas, and thought in order to be communicated with each other. When people speak or write, they produce text.
Language has functions, also known as metafunction, to organize, understand and express our perceptions of the world and of our consciousness (ideational function), to enable us to participate in communicative acts with other people, to take on roles and to express and understand feelings, attitudes and judgements (interpersonal function), and to relate what is said or written to the real world and to other linguistic events (textual function).
Considering those various functions of language, in simple word language function is considered as a tool of communication. Communication itself is the activity or process of expressing ideas and feeling or of giving information (Hornby, 2000:225). It means that when people use language, they need not only to interact with others but also to get other persons to understand their thought and feeling.
2
Language has some elements e.g. noun, verb, adverb, etc in which each element has its own role in language. However, when we analyze the language, the element that need to be concerned firstly is the verb, or also known as process in LSF, because we cannot have a sentence or even an independent without them and they clarify the intensity of feeling. Process is the building block of our language. It describes the movements and feelings of life. In relationship with communication, process also gives information about whether they are happening in the present, past, or future. Therefore, process is said as the centre of attention in language.
In general, communication can be divided into two forms; they are spoken and written communication. Spoken communication means the process of expressing ideas and feelings or giving information which done orally. While written communication is done in written forms or documents, available in magazine, newspaper, brochures, letter, script, and even Holy Quran.
Holy Quran is an orientation book of life. Holy Quran is read and memorized by many people in this world, especially for Moslem. In Holy Quran, God delivers commands, good news, knowledges, true stories, prohibition, etc. Holy Quran uses language as a tool to convey everything of God words.

the content of lessons in it that is not less powerful than other chapters. Besides, it hasbeautiful and touchable language accompanied by rational arguments.
There is other study also analyzed about process in Holy Quran. Sianipar (2011) found that the most dominant type of process used in Holy Quran is Relational Process. However, the writer took the first chapter as the data which contain one surah only.
Therefore, the writer is interested in analyzing the type of process in Juz
‘amma of Holy Quran because as a Moslem, the writer wants to get involved and gives acedemic contribution to his religion. Besides, he also has academic reason in analyzing this topic in which he wants to find and compare the findings with other researcher who used the first chapter as the data whether findings are same or not. So, he hopes that this study can give its useful contribution for many people especially the students of language and for Moslem specifically to enrich their knowledge in analyzing texts in terms of experiential function of language in easy way.
B. The Problem of the Study
