- Abstract
The goal of the current study is to compare the various transitivity systems between Indians’ and Turkish’ Analytical Exposition texts produced in an online communication program called International Virtual Exchange (IVE) 2021. Written communication texts made by 2 Indians and 4 Turks were employed as the instruments in the research, and the data were gathered from clauses in those Analytical Exposition texts. Using Halliday’s systemic functional grammar theory, transitivity was used to analyze the data. The results show that the data contains 75 clauses, and nine different process types were also identified. The similarities in the transitivity system between Indians’ and Turkish’ analytical exposition texts lies in the types of processes used by both nations; there are six types of processes used by them, i.e. processes of Material Doing, Material Happening, Mental Cognitive, Relational Attributive, Relational Identifying, and Verbal. Whereas, the frequency of use of the processes becomes the difference of the transitivity system between Indians’ and Turkish’ analytical exposition texts. The Indians tend to use the process of Material Doing more than other processes, while the Turks dominantly used Mental Cognitive processes compared to other processes.
