Synopsis
:
The metaphor of modality is a language variation in the expression of
modality. Analyzing the metaphor of modality is essential to see the validity of the
speaker’s statement in interpersonal communication. The theory of the metaphor of
modality by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) was applied to see the use of the
metaphor of modality in the self-development book. This study aimed to find the types
and values of metaphors of modality used by speakers during conversation in the
book. The method of this study was descriptive qualitative. This study found 53 data
containing metaphors of modality in the book Conversations on Love by Natasha
Lunn. The data were categorized into types and values of probability, obligation, and
inclination. The type of probability has 40 data, the type of obligation has 6 data, and
the last type of inclination has 7 data. Then, the value of metaphor of modality was
found with a median value of 28 data, a high value of 23 data, and a low value of 2
data.
