The study was conducted to describe type of process, participants function and circumstatial elements of experiential function in the novel. The study applied descriptive qualitative method. The data were taken from the utterances produced by the main character. The finding showed there were 6 types of processes, 14 types of participants and 8 circumtances in the dialogues of Tumoing.
