Transitivity Analysis on Al Jazeera Instagram Posts about the Rafah Attack
Keywords:
Al Jazeera Instagram Posts, Ideational Meaning, Rafah Attack, TransitivityAbstract
This study aims to identify the processes, participants, and circumstances types used in the Instagram posts of Al Jazeera English about the Rafah attack and how it realizes the ideational meaning. This study was analyzed by a descriptive qualitative approach using Halliday's transitivity analysis of systemic functional grammar theory. The data is clauses from 15 Al Jazeera Instagram posts about the Rafah attack that was taken from May 25, 2024, until May 28, 2024. The findings show 6 process types with the dominance of material process, 15 participant types with the actor as the highest rank of participants, and 9 circumstance types with the most frequently appearing location types. The ideational meaning that Al Jazeera wants to represent about the Rafah attack is miserable imagery of how Israel attacked Rafah, Israel's abandonment of ICJ rule and its criticism, and the hope of Palestinians.
