Language Attitude

Language is a mental attitude or feelings towards the position of its own language or language of others (Kridalaksana, 2001:197). In the Indonesian language attitudes word can refer to the body shape, the upright standing position, behavior or gestures, and actions or action taken based on the view (establishment, beliefs, or opinions) as a reaction to the existence of a thing or event.

Attitude is a psychological phenomenon, which usually manifests in the form of action or behavior. Attitudes can not be observed directly. To observe the attitude can be seen through the behavior, but various studies show that what appears in the behavior does not always indicate attitudes. Vice versa, one's attitude is not always reflected in his behavior.

Circumstances and the attitude formation process is not far from the state language and the attitude formation process in general. As with the attitude, the attitude is also the language of mental events that can not be observed directly. Language attitudes can be observed through the behavior of speech-language or behavior. But in this case also apply provided that not every speech behavior reflects the attitude of the language. Likewise, language attitudes are not always reflected in the behavior of speech. The difference between language and parole (de Saussure, 1976),

Clause Relation

Clause relations are the building blocks of these sequences, as demonstrated with the following examples (Hoey 1994:27). The clause-relational approach to written text, where it was stressed that the units of written discourse, rather than always being co-extensive with sentences (though they sometimes are), were best seen as functional segments (of anything from phrasal to paragraph length) which could be related to one another by a finite set of cognitive relations, such as cause-consequence, instrument-achievement, temporal sequence, and matching relations such as contrasting and equivalence. Individual segments of texts combined to form the logical structure of the whole and to form certain characteristic patterns (such as problem-solution). The sequencing of segments and how the relations between them are signalled were viewed as factors in textual coherence (see Winter 1977; Hoey 1983).
