Abstract
According to the theory of Systemic-Functional Linguistics (SFL), language cannot be
disassociated from meaning. Function and semantics, as SFL suggests, are considered as the
basis of human language and communicative activity. In order to reveal the inseparability of
language and semantic, this study aims at analyzing transitivity in the poem entitled I
Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William Wordsworth. This study occupies the qualitative
descriptive analysis method, in order to find out the type of process in transitivity. After
analyzing the data from the poem entitled I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud by William
Wordsworth, this research finally is able to posit that there are four process types of six types
appearing; they are material process, mental process, behavioral process and relational
process. Due to identify which type of process more often appears in the poem, the researchers
finds that material process appeared more often than others; after that, mental process,
behavioral process and relational process.
