Abstract
One of the recent language phenomena in public area is supporter chant. Focusing on the interpersonal interaction among the participant, this research will examine the MOOD system with the SFL approach to determine the status and positions in chant discourse. This research is descriptive qualitative. The data is the clauses and words of the chant lyric downloaded from fanchant.com. It focused on the ‘supporting’ and ‘mocking’ player chant of the supporter of the Big Six clubs in English Premier League. The data is collecting through content analysis. The data is analysed through domain, taxonomy, componential and cultural theme analysis. From the MOOD system analysis, containing MOOD type, interaction function, and mood structure, the interpretation of both mocking and supporting chant put the singing supporter in an equal and balanced position with the listener. There is a special note on the mocking chant. Despite the structures place the players at different angles, their level of equality it still the same. Moreover, the message exchanged is in the form of information whether it is the players strengths, supporters hopes, promises, something happened, or a player's disgrace.
