This research occupied the transitivity system to analyze Donne’s and Blake’s
poems, then specifically, it investigated each line containing mental and relation process.
Elaborating the analysis, it as well applied descriptive analysis method. Fortunately,
from six poems, the researcher identified thirty four lines indicating sixteen mental
processes, and twenty three relational processes. It could be reported that two
classifications of relational process were found; attributive and identifying relational
process. Furthermore, the finding showed that there are some verbs usually used to
indicate mental process, those are ‘love’, ‘honor’, ‘know’, ‘think’, ‘hear’, ‘see’, ‘repent’,
‘mind’, ‘want’, ‘fear’, and ‘dream’. Besides, there are four indications that are able to
differentiate attributive relational process from identifying relational process; those are
verbs (have and mean), articles (a/an, and the), adjectives (dead, tired, spent, young,
bare, cold, joy, happy, and warm), and circumstance of place. Conducting this research,
the researcher assumed that it could be an inspiration for other researchers to take more
attention on such research since it combines linguistic and literary nuance.
