Abstract

Discourse analysis helps to better understand the meaning of discourse. Studies of discourse analysis from the systemic functional perspective play an important role in the domain of linguistics. The manual of household electric appliance which is widely used in daily life is a special kind of discourse. The experiential meaning of the manual is analyzed on terms of transitivity. It is observed that material process is predominant in the transitivity pattern which constitutes the characteristics of the manual of household electric appliance.
