The cultural register is found in the word “carok” which shows that the perpetrator is an ethnic Madurese himself. Based on the metafunctional meaning, the perpetrator deliberately intends to threaten the victim because there is a mental process (desire) to finish off the victim's life. in terms of interpersonal language, the perpetrator does use the utterance “Kamu ini apa mau carok ya sama saya? (Do you want to carok with me?)” in interrogative mode; however, in terms of modality, the utterance is declarative.
