“…Related to studies on the relation between language and gender, Tannen (1996) and Eggins & Slade (1997) argue that it is women who will likely develop a more persuasive, communicative, and aligning narrative through producing various types of clauses; but Poe and Dostoevsky are male authors. Hence, following Cameron (2005) and Khadafi & Santosa (2020), this paper agrees that clear and specific distinctions between male and female authors will lead to nothing since those distinctions do not exist in the first place. Instead, one must view the differences in language use in terms of their function which in the end is closely related to power relations.…”

This article interprets Kate Chopin's "The Story of an Hour" using systemic functional grammar analyses (genre, transitivity, mood structure, and thematic structure) and thus implements the view that textual or linguistic justification is crucial for a credible literary reading. The SFG analyses result in the textual symptoms signifying that the short story deals with existential and feminist issues pessimistically that calls for a reexamination of Sartre's and Beauvoir's existentialismespecially on the notion of freedom, intentionality, and desire. However, the implementation of SFG itself raises a problem since the interpretation can be achieved without even implementing it in the first place. This research, therefore, highlights the question of the position that linguistic analysis has in literary reading; re-addressing the fundamental philosophical problem on the notion of credibility, objectivity, and methodology. However, the application of SFG is very useful in understanding Kate Chopin's literary style and the proof of the non-existing line between language use and gender.the story to 'counter' this feminist reading by showing the limit of its theoretical practice implemented in, to use Lacanian term, the symbolic order which is society. Berkove (2000), for instance, interprets this story as an illustration of how an exaggerated and egoistic self-assertion can destroy one's soul while Chong-yue & Li-hua (2013) read it as an illustration of an ungrateful and unfaithful wife.
