The above table shows the use of declarative and interrogative mood. There are 10 dialogues found in the textbook. Declarative mood is the
dominant one in the dialogue. There are about 53 declarative moods found in the textbook. Dialogue 7 is the dominant one among all dialogues. It has
eleven declarative moods. It indicates that the dialogue is concerned with giving information which means that the participants in the dialogues are
concerned with exchanging information. There are 31 interrogatives and 1 imperative found in the dialogues. Dialogue 7 is the dominant one of all
dialogues. It has five interrogatives. Dialogue 1 has no interrogative mood. Thus, it signals that dialogue 7 does not focus on demanding information.
However, it concerns itself with giving information. In addition, those ten dialogues have only one imperative mood. This condition shoes that most
of the participants in the dialogue do not employ demanding information.
4.1.3. Transitivity Analysis Transitivity analysis concerns on the processes conducted by the
participants in the dialogue. The processes indicate what the participants do in a certain activity. The processes are material, mental, relational, verbal,
behavioral and existential. The material conveys doing and happening. Mental concerns on cognitive, perceptive and affective. Relational includes
attributive and identifying, verbal focuses on what the participants say. Behavioral focuses on what the participants’ behavior and existential
conveys the existent of the participants. Without those processes, what the participants act in producing text in the dialogues is not clear. Thus, the
following table shows the result of the process analysis displayed in the dialogues found in the English textbook published by Erlangga entitled
“English on Sky”. Table. 4.2. Transitivity of the dialogues

5 5 8 9 8 7 18 5 4 10 79 The above table shows that material processes are dominant in all
dialogues. There are 41 material processes found in the dialogues. The result conveys that the ten dialogues focus on the action including doing and
happening. Dialogue 7 is the most dominant of all dialogues. It has 10 dialogues concerning on material process. Thus, the participants in dialogue 7
focus on doing an action. There is only one dialogue that is dialogue 2 which has no material process. Therefore, dialogue 2 focuses more on mental process
rather than material process. Table 4.2. also shows some focus on metal process. There are only six mental processes found in the dialogues. There are
only three dialogues which have mental processes such as dialogue 2, 7 and 10.It can be seen that, dialogue 7 is dominant among all dialogues concerning
mental processes although it has only three mental processes.
Another process which is found in the dialogues is relational process. There are about twenty two attributive processes and twelve identifying
processes. The dialogues are dominant in attributive process rather than identifying process. It indicates that the dialogues deal with the description
of the participants rather than identifying the participants. There are no verbal, behavioral and existential processes found in the dialogues. There
are four possessive processes found in the dialogues.. The possessive process can be found in dialogue 7 and 9.
