Abstract

This research is about “Transitivity Personification Clauses Found in the Novel And the Mountain Echoed”. It applies SFL theory from Halliday that focuses on transitivity specific in personification clauses. The data are taken from novel And the Mountain Echoed by Khalled Hosseini. Research method is descriptive qualitative. The data analyses were configured into three phases as suggested by Spradley (2016) namely domain, taxonomy, and componential analysis. The research findings showed that (1) there are three experiential processes of personification clauses found in novel And the Mountain Echoed, they are material, mental, and behavioural process. Material and mental processes dominated transitivity personification clauses because subject as inanimate to do thing and move as human being (animate), (2) the participants are Actor, Senser, and Behaver, (3) then, circumstance merely present location place, source, accompaniment, and time, (4) the pattern of transitivity of personification clauses are constructed in simplex and complex clauses. There are eight patterns in simplex clause and there are eleven patterns in complex clause.
