Grounded on Halliday's Systemic-Functional Grammar, this study explores the transitivity system in the 2021 Commencement Speech of DepEd Sec. Leonor Briones. It specifically aims to identify the transitivity processes and the dominant process found in the Commencement speech and to analyze the linguistic functions in this transitivity system. Employing an explanatory mixed-method design, the results shows that material, mental, relational, and existential processes are present in the Commencement Speech.

This paper presented the stylistic analysis of a poem by Maya Angelou, “Woman Work”. This stylistic analysis focused on analyzing two language levels, phonology and syntax, covering the study of sound repetition, transitivity, and pronoun. The phonological features employed in the poem were assonance and consonance. On the other hand, the syntactic features were in the form of material processes that described the works of a woman. The employment of pronoun referred to the poet and nature. This analysis found that Angelou positioned nature as an essential part of a woman's life as it helped her to provide a living to her family. Further, nature was placed as an Actor that helped her face her world as a woman. This paper concludes that stylistics is applicable to analyse literary works in an objective way as it provides the hard data. Keywords: stylistics, poem, woman, Angelou
