INTERPRETATION:
uools for describing the environment's objects and the manner that those things
interact with or connect to one another. In the purest sense, language shapes how we
see the environment to be composed of actions comprising subjects that may include
descriptors and that compete with collocations. Isti'anah, Arina. (2015) Each scenario
type, according to Halliday (1994), consists of three elements: the process, the players
with in procedure, and the conditions that pertain to the process. The process is what
makes up the circumstance, and a verb makes it happen.
Transitivity analysis has been employed in this study to analyse the short story
entitled “Jack and the Beanstalk”. The Unit of Analysis is sentence and clause, 60
clauses and 39 sentences were analyzed. The analysis of the selected data revealed
that all of the six processes mentioned by Halliday i.e. Mental, Material, Verbal,
Behavioural, Relational, and Existential have been found in the short story.
The short story's material and verbal process represents the first and second
most prevalent processes. This indicates that the author of the short tale most likely
identified the occurrences of the narrative by pointing them out in the context of what
was occurring and exactly what the individuals are doing. Introduction, events, and
conclusion make up the basic framework of a narrative tale. Storytelling texts frequently
employ the material to construct the happenings from the general framework thus making
it more enticing towards the readers while verbal process enables the setting up of
dialectic sequences, this method of speaking aids in the production of story and it also
encompasses any type of metaphorical interchange of meanings.
There are also a lot of different similarities when we do compare the transitivity
analysis of the story towards other short stories. This is given due to the nature and how
do writer’s write their own story, the insights of the story together with its transitivity
properties, the relationship between the mind of the writer, the language being used and
the presence of the readers gives an essence of commonalities on their reading
experiences. This may be highlighted with innovative strategies towards storytelling that
focus on the cognitive elements of characterization portrayal and comprehension.
Because like many different stories or literary works, regardless of genre, it all comes
down to the writer’s perspective, style and purpose, and given that in storytelling there is
a particular concept that is being used and that involves Transitivity Analysis since more
often than not, there is a systematic sameness of a particular type of process and most
of it belongs to material process.
But in a real-life scenario, things are going to be different since that defines it
would also be different regardless if it can be a part of a literary or not literary text, a
fictional character like Jack and the Giant’s wife shows the epitomy of human
benevolence towards each other, we show empathy towards other people and then we
feel sense of belonging towards that person that we’ve helped but sometimes, things
can be different because sometimes people will abuse that benevolence eventhough you
have given their 5 senses fruitful things, but that is the beauty of human vision, such
example of that trait is given in one of the additional reading materials given that states
the abilitiy of human vision allows us to give particular objects greater attention and
concern than others, because we are context aware. This potential is aptly illustrated by
our capability to distinguish objects from one's environments, determine proximity and
distance, monitor and anticipate spatial movement and comprehend agency when an
item acts on another. This capacity is also clearly demonstrated by analyzing and
identifying in and out new accents, flavors, odours, and physical styles. Intentions, wants,
sentiments, and thoughts, as well as any storytelling that might aid in examining a
fictitious person's thought processes, are included in this category. When considering
the thought patterns of those who are hurting, it is critical to take into consideration the
history and surroundings that contribute to personal development, which can be clearly
seen through Jack, the Giant and the Giant’s wife.
To sum it all up, the transitivity analysis of the short story realignes with other
analysis that pertains to storytelling and the percentages of the 6 process do have a
similar connotation in real life scenarios eventhough the characters are completely
fictional, it considers the writer’s perspective while writing the story as well as the reader’s
perspective when reading the story. It creates a dimension wherein people can
understand the aspects of the story, without diving deep in each individual parts.
