The topic of the study is the interpersonal meanings of the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple. This study aims to reveal speakers‟ ways to negotiate informations, suggestions, offers and things. Therefore, mood, modality, and attitude are analyzed in this study. Thisaims to describe the realizations of Moods in the conversations between a tour guide and foreign tourists in Prambanan Temple, the realizations of Modalities in the conversations between them, and the realizations of Attitudes in the conversations between them. The approach used in this of study is qualitative. There were several steps done to analyze the data. The data was divided into sentences. Eachsentence which had more than one clauses was divided again into clauses. The clauses werethen analyzed using Mood theory offered by Eggins (1994), Modality theory from Eggins and Slade (1997) and Attitudes theory from Martin and Rose (2003). The results of the analysis were tabulated. The results of Mood analyses are that the tour guide mostly uses declaratives in delivering information and ideas to the foreign tourists. Interrogatives are also used for asking things from the foreign tourists. Imperatives are also used in the conversations. The foreign tourists mostly speak using interrogatives. However, they also use declaratives to share their experiences. The results of Modality analyses show that most of the modalities used are capabilities. These show the degree of capability and what things people capable or not capable to do. Probabilities, usualities, obligations, and inclinations are also used in the conversations. The analyses of Attitudes reveal that the conversations contain some affections, judgments, and appreciations.
