Analytical exposition text is characterized by the use of nominalization, cause-effect networks, and impersonal points of view. Drawing on systemic functional theory, this study aimed to explore the effects of ideational grammatical metaphor on the written characteristics of analytical exposition text, particularly in the use of nominalization, cause-effect networks and impersonal points of view. This study employed a qualitative content analysis on ten analytical exposition texts from five EFL textbooks applied in Indonesian schools. The findings showed that the use of ideational grammatical metaphor contributes to the written characteristics of analytical exposition text through reasoning within the clause, anaphoric re-construal, technicality, abstraction, and lexical density. These features help the texts achieve cohesion and coherence. This study suggests the significant roles of textbooks in facilitating students and teachers with high-quality modeling texts, particularly analytical exposition texts for better teaching and learning outcomes.
