Metafunction is divided into three functions of language; interpersonal, ideational, and textual. Interpersonal metafunction is used to be the perspective of this analysis. Method of qualitative by Khasana states that qualitative research studies are designed to obtain information concerning to the current status of phenomena. The aim is to describe what exists with respect to variables or conditions or situations (Khasana, 2010, p. 33). The result of the analysis shows that positive declarative sentences dominate Leonardo DiCaprio’s speech, then “will” as the modality, and “we” as personal pronoun are also dominantly found in the speech. Declarative sentences are dominantly found in the speech since Leonardo tries to share information to the audience. Modality “will” is mostly used since Leonardo wants people concern with the climate change in the future. Personal pronoun “we” shows that Leonardo expects people, including him, will take responsibility of the climate change. Keywords: Speech, Mood, Modality, Personal Pronoun INTRODUCTION Communication, in the present, is used as a means of conveying an idea. It is stated that communication is a form of human interaction which affects each other, intentionally or not, and not only limited to the forms of verbal communication, but also in the form of facial expressions, paintings, art, and technology (Shanon, Calude, & Weaver, 1949:18-19). Based on that statement, it can be said that communication is easily interpreted as the process of transferring messages through communication means or media to the intended communicant. Communication is a form of message from the speaker to the listener to create a relationship between each other and a process to change the others behavior (Effendy, Onong Uchjana, 2004:10). There are two ways to communicate, direct and indirect. It is stated that communication is the process of delivering a message in symbolic form meaningful as thoughts and feelings in the form of ideas, information, trust, hope, appeals, and as a guide performed by one person to another, either directly in person or indirectly through the media, with the aim of changing attitudes, views or behaviors (Effendy, Onong Uchjana, 2002: 60). Based on this quotation, it can be concluded that direct communication is to communicate without any intermediaries or media, such as speech. Speech is one form of direct communication
