REALIZATION OF THE TRANSITIVITY SYSTEM GRAMMATICALLY IN FORMAL AND INFORMAL LANGUAGES IN ANGKOLA: SYSTEMIC FUNCTIONAL LINGUISTICS APPROACH

Abstract

Language cannot be understood one at a time without considering contextual information about the current circumstances and culture. As a result, language can only be understood when individuals comprehend the circumstance and culture. This research aimed at identifying the realization process types in the Angkola language. This research applied a qualitative research method. The researcher collected the data from the Tabagsel. The collected data, presented in sentences and clauses, were analysed using Halliday's transitivity system. Findings show that the process type that are dominantly used in the students' narrative texts are material, behavioural, intensive attributive, verbal, mental, and existential processes. The material process was the most common process type used because the subjects were connected to past figures. The findings in this research of the text of Angkola language demonstrate that the texts must use the linguistic elements of a clause to give information. The purpose of text types in Angkola language is to encourage readers to imagine the words and sentence patterns used in the texts. It may help to minimize misunderstandings about the contents of the Angkola language. As a result, while creating a text, the subjects must employ the proper specific meaning, generic structure, linguistic characteristics, and language elements to stimulate readers' interest in providing necessary information while entertaining them.
