c. Relational Process
Relational process is a process of being. It can be divided into two modes: attributive relation and identifying relation. The first means what properties an object possesses or what category it can be put into. And the other means that an entity and another is uniform. It is used widely in describing people and objects. Look at the following table: Table 4.7. Relational Process in the first and second Inaugural Addresses Relational Process Address a Address b Total Total Attributive 33 60 19 63 Identifying 22 40 11 37 Total 55 100 30 100 The finding shows that Obama employs two kind of relational process. The first one is the Attributive. In Attributive process, a quality or a classification, or descriptive identity is assigned to the participant who is called as Carrier. It means that the Carrier belongs to the classification. Meanwhile the second type is called Identifying process. It is not about ascribing or classifying but defining the participant which is called as the Token. The Token is the ‗holder‘ of the identity or the label. In the table below, Obama ascribes and labels the citizens with the attributes and the values which direct them in to the classification and the definition intended by Obama. Table 4.8.
