Abstract:
This paper attempts to reveal how language is used by Chomsky in his political articles from the transitivity perspective, primarily, the process. Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) propose six different transitivity processes which are material, mental, relational, verbal, behavioral and existential. Two articles are selected in this study. Unlike other prior studies done on transitivity, this study is different due to its unique data set which is Chomsky's Articles. By focusing on the process according to the different types of processes in the experiential metafunction, this study reveals how Chomsky focuses on material process in his political writing in order to communicate his experiences of the world.
