Isi artikel

This paper provides a description of the inherent generic structure potential of Philippine editorials written in English. Ansary and Babaii’s (2005) systemic functional framework is used to identify the generic structure potential of these texts through the analysis of their potential macro-structures. The findings indicate that 1) Philippine English editorials have a macro-structure 2) these editorials have obligatory (Run-on Headline, Addressing an Issue, Argumentation, and Articulation of a Position) and optional (Providing Background Information and Closure of Argumentation) elements in them. The study also presents implications with regard to the use of editorials in composition pedagogy.
