Abstract
This topic is interesting because through Transitivity Analysis we can discover the meaning behind clauses. The topic was also chosen because in English Department of UIN Walisongo we barely could find this study and the resources of this topic were limited. The researcher is also attracted by the short story No Witchcraft for Sale by Doris Lessing because it contains some moral values. The study used transitivity analysis to analyze the short story. The method used in this study was qualitative design to find the result of the study. The data collection technique applied in this study were seeking and selecting, reading, reducing and identifying. Then, the data were analyzed by employing several steps such as listing, classifying, calculating, and the last step was reporting the result of the analysis in written text. The data result showed that there are six process types occurred in the short story. They are material process, mental process, behavioral process, verbal process, relational process and existential process. Material process is the most dominant process found in the short story. It means that the writer of short story probably explained the events of the story by identifying it through what is happening and what are the characters doing. The generic structure of short story is orientation, events and resolution. To apply the generic structure well, narrative text often uses material process to develop the events from orientation to resolution. Although narrative text has material process as the dominant process but it still needs other processes to build the plot of short story well. There are also some pedagogical implication by applying transitivity system to analyze a text. We can know the genre of the text by examining the clauses, determine the processes and find the most dominant process that build the text. Learning transitivity analysis also gives us influence in our writing and speaking skill. Transitivity analysis deals with meaning, it means that we can improve our ability to choose the correct vocabulary and diction of our speech or written text.
