The language of the news, in general and newspaper articles in particular, is full of ideologies ... more The language of the news, in general and newspaper articles in particular, is full of ideologies and inner experiences. The ideologies instilled in the news articles have a very strong impact on their readership and consequently direct them towards a targeted aim. The speakers and writers select their views or articles in such a way which carries their intentions and beliefs semantically and syntactically. The linguistic style adopted by them indirectly suggests their inner political stances. In order to analyze the news propaganda, we need a tool that can unearth what lies intentionally beyond the script. This tool is the transitivity system which was proposed by the famous Functional Linguist M.A.K Halliday et.al (2014). In line with Halliday, Paul Simpson (1993:82) states that transitivity: "refers generally to how meaning is represented in the clause. It shows how speakers encode in language their mental picture of reality and how they account for their experience of the world around them." It has six types of processes which can describe meaning in the news structures from different perspectives. This transitivity can analyze both the isolated clauses and connected ones in their context. The aim of this paper is to analyze and find out political intentions concealed by the news structures in the select news articles. The types of the transitivity in Functional Realm will briefly be explained supported by the examples from the data.
