Purpose: to identify and describe the realization
of interpersonal and ideational metaphors in
thesis texts written by undergraduate students of

CONTRIBUTIONS strengthen the functional linguistic

students, lecturers, and researchers
enhancing, developing, and increasing
knowledge, skills, or performance
related to the realization of
interpersonal and ideational
metaphors in both written and spoken

thesis texts and collecting English theses written by undergraduate
English students directly.

Realization of Interpersonal
Metaphors in Texts
Realization of Ideational Metaphor
in the Thesis Texts
 CONCLUSION
According to the result of the research, it can be
concluded that interpersonal and ideational
metaphors were both used in texts, the realization of
interpersonal metaphors in the mood system in texts
was dominated by declarative mood and the
realization of ideational metaphor was used more
than an interpersonal metaphor because of the text
channel, written text. Furthermore, prepositional
phrases also picture the ideational metaphor
realization which is why it is suggested that lecturers
should give more exercises on how to use
interpersonal and ideational metaphors.
