| Abstract | ||
| The purpose of this study is to investigate the types of transitivity processes used in Virginia Woolf's short story “The Mark on the Wall”. Transitivity is an essential tool in Halliday's systemic-functional grammar theory, which focuses on the grammatical structure of language and how language is used to convey the meaning. . In SFG, language is divided into three metafunctions: Ideational, Interpersonal and Textual. This study focuses on the ideational metafunction of language. The researcher selects transitivity as a representation of ideational metafunction. . This study employed the framework of transitivity proposed by Halliday. This study explains how transitivity helps Woolf express her ideologies, experiences, inner feelings, perspectives and attitudes toward the English society. This research is extracted from my master’s thesis titled “A Systemic-Functional Grammar Analysis of three short stories by Virginia Woolf” which was defended at Sohag University, Faculty of Arts, English Department on September 25, 2023. Keywords: Systemic-Functional Grammar (SFG), Metafunctions, Ideational Metafunction, Transitivity and Process. تناولت الدراسة نظرية هاليداي – التحليل النحوي الوظيفي- وقد ركزت الباحثة على أداة واحدة فقط من النظرية وهي (التعدية) وقامت باختيار نص أدبي من أجل تطبيق هذه الأداة واستنتاج ما حققته ومدى مساهمتها في تفسير وتوصيل المعنى المباشر والغير مباشر للغة. اختارت الباحثة قصة قصيرة للكاتبة فرجينيا وولف وهي (أثر على الحائط )ه وهدفت الدراسة إلي معرفة ماهي نوعية الأفعال السائدة في هذه القصة القصيرة و كيف تم توصيل المعنى الذي تقصده الكاتبة الى القارئ من خلال لاستخدام التعدية .وأشارت الدراسة إلي هيمنة الأفعال العقلية في القصة القصيرة "أثر علي الحائط" | ||
