This study attempts to examine the relationship between language and social reality. Further, it aims at tackling differences in the social realities of the two texts through an analysis of the language using the experiential level of Halliday's systemic functional grammar.

This research is divided into six chapters namely introduction, background to the study, methodology, results and discussion and conclusion and recommendations. Introduction is composed of statement of the research problem, rationale of the study, aim of the study, research questions and definition of terms.

In order to compare both texts, a comparative statistical analysis is conducted. Through this analysis, it is easier to figure out the dominance of the processes, participants and circumstances. Then, comparing them to the other text reflects the impact of social reality on the language. The similar motifs is compared to find out the different linguistic choices in expressing social relaties such as war of words versus war of action, companion treatment, intensive details, dominance of the hero, etc.
