Abstract

This study is intended to analyze the experiential meaning of mathematics texts in Bilingual Mathematical Textbook 7B of Junior High School published by Erlangga. This aspect of meaning can be investigated grammatically through the concept of transitivity. This study is aimed to identify and to describe the process types, the inherent participant functions and types, and the circumstantial elements characterizing mathematics texts in Bilingual Mathematical Textbook 7B of Junior High School published by Erlangga. The research employed a descriptive-qualitative method. The unit of analysis are the clauses in mathematics texts in Bilingual Mathematical Textbook 7B of Junior High School published by Erlangga. The main instrument in this study was the researcher herself who recorded the data into the data sheet, classified and analyzed them in terms of transitivity representations. The trustworthiness of the data analysis was achieved by applying credibility and dependability. The deep and detail observation on the data analysis were carried out in order to achieve the credibility of the data analysis. Furthermore, the triangulation techniques was used in order to get the dependability of the data analysis. The findings show that the Relational process type typically characterizes mathematics texts in Bilingual Mathematical Textbook 7B of Junior High School published by Erlangga with the highest frequency of occurrences (48.34%). In accordance with the inherent participant functions, Identified and Identifier that are the participant functions of Relational process are the most two prominent participant functions (37.38%). In accordance with the inherent participant types, non-human participants are dominant in occurrences (98.86%). In regard to the circumstantial elements, the circumstance of Location of Place dominates the circumstantial elements (40.82%). In conclusion, it can be said that mathematics texts in Bilingual Mathematical Textbook 7B of Junior High School published by Erlangga are suffused with describing concepts. They are presented in the format of definitions, theorems, and proofs. Mathematical language mostly consists of non-human participants. Mathematics exists in non-human forms such as the numbers, the points, the lines and planes, the symbols, and the geometric figures. Furthermore, mathematical problem solving is suffused with showing on where the students do the instruction stated in the exercises.
