An Analysis of Transitivity in Surah Al-Kahf

This study aims to determine the types of transitivity processes proposed by M.A.K Halliday(1960), which was conducted by using descriptive qualitative research. The data were taken from English Translation of Holy Qur’an by Saheeh International. Furthermore, the data were analyzed two stories only in surah Al-Kahf, which are Ashabul-Kahf and Moses and khidhr, which consist of 37 verses. The findings showed that all six types of processes appear in surah Al-Kahf, which are material process, verbal process, mental process, relational process, existential process, and behavioral process. The most dominant process type is material process which appeared 34 times. The second dominant type is followed by verbal process 33 times. Meanwhile, other types are lower than them, which are mental process 10 times, relational process 6 times, and behavioral process 3 times. Lastly, the lowest one is existential process that only found once.
