thoughts, feelings, and experiences of characters or speakers in a text by using mental process
analysis.Various mental processes have been analysed in film written by Todd Phillips & Scott Silver

mentally ill, so she had me committed.

described or implied in a given text. It involves examining the language used to portray and discuss
various actions or activities within a discourse. Analyzing behavioral processes in discourse helps to
understand the dynamics, events, and interactions between participants within the context of the text.
