Tranzitivnost u novinskim vijestima – kako zastupljenost različitih tipova procesa u sistemu tranzitivnosti odražava generičku strukturu žanra (engl. GSP)
Transitivity in Newspaper Articles: How the Presence of Different Process Types of Transitivity System Reflects the Generic Structure Potential

Summary/Abstract: Systemic functional linguistics (SFL) is concerned with the relationship between language and its functions in the social context. SFL treats genre as the first dimension of contextual coherence and defines it as the “cultural purpose” of the text (Eggins 2004). This paper analyses the potential of texts to express generic identity by their structural and realizational patterns. This small-scale research is conducted on two newspaper articles and aimed at the transitivity system and the way it reflects the generic structure of the selected articles. The aim of this paper is to establish a connection between the processes in the clauses and the elements of the schematic structure, and thus identify implications for future research, which would comprise a significantly bigger corpus and yield results that could suggest a valid generic structure potential (GSP).
