Introduction
The goal of this research is to explore the significance of transitivity patterns in the novel "Uncle Tom's Cabin" from a stylistic standpoint.
Transitivity theory deals with the ideational meaning of language, which is concerned with the way the author encodes her experience in language.
Transitivity analysis refers to “the semantic processes realized by the verb type in the clause; the participants expressed by noun phrases; and the circumstances expressed by adverbial and prepositional phrases” (Eggins, 1994, p.
12; Simpson, 1993, p.
88).
Halliday has presented the intended meta-functions of language itself within his well-known theory Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL).
Within Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), the elements of the language are frequently adopted in order to produce meanings (Isti'anah, 2012, p.
15).
As a result, the words are considered to be the fundamental data used to recognize the situation's meaning itself within the analysis of the text.
The intended meta-functions of language are considered to be applicable to the various functions of language, as for instance: the interpersonal functions (tenor), the ideational functions (field), and finally the textual functions (mode) of language.
