A Comparative Analysis of Appraisal betweenudEditorial and Opinion Column Exposing Ahmadiyah Issue Published on TheudJakarta Globe and The Jakarta Post Websites (A Study Based on SystemicudFunctional Linguistics). English Department, Faculty of Letters and Fine Arts,udSebelas Maret University.ududThis research explored the appraisal system in the editorial and opinionudcolumn exposing issue of Ahmadiyah, taken from Jakarta Globe and Jakarta PostudWebsites. There were four texts that were analyzed. They were four texts of editorialudand opinion taken from The Jakarta Globe and Jakarta Post Websites. These textsudwere analyzed using Appraisal Theory.
