Friday sermon is a symbol of and it is conducted as a prerequisite for Friday
prayer. This research is designed to identify types of process on Friday sermon
delivered by Nouman Ali Khan.
Conducting the research, the writer employed qualitative method. Meanwhile, to
analyze clauses found in Friday sermon, the writer applied a model of types of
process developed by Halliday (2014) in which there are six types of process; they
are material, mental, relational, verbal, behavioral and existential. Data collected
are in form of clause complex broken down into clauses that was taken from the
transcription of the sermon.
After analyzing the data from Friday sermon, the research showed that there are
all six types of process appearing in the sermon. Further, the writer discovered
that material processes highly dominate the text as Nouman mostly revealed his
past, present and future happenings. Moreover, from total 504 clauses identified,
the writer found 210 material clauses produced by Nouman. Meanwhile, mental
processes found are 115 clauses and followed by relational processes for both
attributive and identifying processes found are 106 clauses. The fourth process
found is verbal processes that appeared in 59 clauses while behavioral and
existential processes both are rarely used by Nouman. The writer only found five
behavioral processes and nine existential processes. From the analysis, it shows
that types of process can be used to encode and understand the implicit meaning
inside of the clause.
