- Abstract
The vast interpretation of the veil has led to a divisive discourse. In western society the veil is attributed negatively. On the contrary, in Malaysia the veil has been seen as positive attribute. This study aims to examine the authorial voices of Q2 and Q3 Scopus-indexed International Journal articles (each, one article) pertaining the voices in hijab discourse in Malaysian society by deploying Hallidayean Transitivity system and J.R. Martin and P.R.R White’s Appraisal theory. Using stratified purposeful sampling, the data from the two articles that depict the perspective of Malaysian society towards the veil were selected. It is exigent as not only do the authorial voices represent how the academicians perceive hijab, but that they also explicate the religious/socio-cultural implication, especially in Malaysian society. The findings demonstrate that the material process represent the wide usage of veil among Malaysian Muslim women as their attempt in showing their Islamic Identity, whilst the relational process was used to denote how the voices of the work cited in the articles positioned the veil positively and through Appraisal Theory we understand how biases are avoided because the data suggested through Engagement study we understand how the writers cited other academic papers in their clauses
