"Ideational Meaning in Joel Osteen’s Sermon The Power of I Am: A Transitivity Analysis" Phyo C Thu Thae Ei Ei Nyein "This research attempts to explore how meanings are construed in the sermon The Power of I Am by Pastor Joel Osteen through the transitivity system proposed by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). Applying Descriptive Qualitative method, six types of processes are identified and analyzed to highlight the ideational meaning in the sermon through the transitivity analysis. Different from previous researches which were conducted on the transitivity analysis of literary and multi-modal texts, this study sets its focus on the transitivity system of a religious text, revealing how the pastor intentionally conveys and presents his ideology to the audience in a church setting. Results show that the dominant use of four principle processes; relational, material, verbal and mental processes, can help construct ideational meaning in the sermon and make clear the preacher’s religious and motivational purpose and the underlying relationship between positive beliefs and possible outcomes." library collections, services and facilities.
