Abstract

This study is a transitivity analysis of the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee (1960). This study aims to investigate representation of a colored man named Tom Robinson through the types of process related to Tom Robinson. By using qualitative research, the research used the theory of Transitivity proposed by Halliday (1994). The data sources were in the form of eighteen clauses that specifically represent Tom Robinson and were sorted by concordance software Antconc 3.8.1. The findings of the research showed that there are four processes found in the clauses related to the character. Material process is the most frequent process (50%) followed by Relational process (27%) which are divided into two: Attributive Relational process (22%) and Identifying Relational Process (5%), Mental process (17%), and Verbal process (7%) are the second lowest and least frequent type in this research. The result of the research indicates that Tom Robinson as one of the people of color in the novel To Kill a Mockingbird is represented as a man who experienced social injustice.Keywords: Representation, Systemic Functional Linguistics, Ideational Meaning, Transitivity

Abstract

In this pandemic era, some people seek knowledge and entertainment in digital audio content such as podcasts to reduce staring at computer and cell phone screens. Along with the massive trend, podcast speakers use particular language styles to get robust conversation and a large number of podcast listeners. Therefore, this study aims to identify the interpersonal meaning of the Not Overthinking podcast, as one of today's most popular podcasts. The data include the transcript texts of the three most popular episodes of the Not Overthinking podcast: “Why do we like to be correct?”, “Why are we scared to put ourselves out there?” and “Why do we struggle with consistency?” collected from Spotify. This study adopted Halliday and Matthiessen (2004) theory of Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), focusing on the mood types and speech functions. This study found all the mood types and speech functions in the data. The dominant mood type is declarative, and the dominant speech function is statement. The finding of this study provides a clearer picture of podcast speakers who use statements more often to share knowledge and experience. In addition, the speakers also positioned themselves equal to the listeners.
