Material Process
Material process emphasizes that “some entity ‘does’ something-
which may be done ‘to’ some other entity” (Halliday, 1994, p. 110).
Meaning to say, there is an action done by one to another. This process is
categorized as outer experience where the actions or events and people
who does it become the important thing. There are three main participants
in this process which are Actor or Agent, Process, and Goal. Actor is one
who does the action. Process is the action. Goal is the one who receives
action done by the actor.
