4.2 Transitivity Analysis Realizing Ideational Meaning
People use language to interact with other people not only for establishing relationship, but also to talk about experience and ideas to represent what is going
on in the world. It attempts to express ideational meaning. Ideational meaning is achieved by using Transitivity analysis which consists of three components; those
are participant, process, and circumstance.
4.2.1 Process Analysis
There are six process types in Transitivity analysis, but three of them are the main types of processes, those are material, relational, and mental process.
Other processes are located at the boundaries of the three main processes. Those are verbal, existential, and behavioral processes. Verbal lies between mental and
relational processes; while existential exits between relational and material processes; and behavioral lies between material and mental processes. Those
processes have different roles in realizing t he ideational meaning of students‘
recount texts. The complete analysis of the process types in the students‘ recount texts is as follows.
