Abstract :
One of the important issues in Systemic Functional Linguistics is that the language is not an arbitrary system; on the contrary it is natural and cultivated by human being and society. In this perspective for discourse analysis there are three metafunctions, that is ideational, interpersonal and textual. The ideational metafunction is divided to two functions: experiential and logical. In experiential function, experiences of the world are represented through the language. In SFL view, a component of the ideational metafunction is transitivity as a property of clauses. It is used to specify the different types of processes in clauses. Therefore, as transitivity encodes our experiences, by studying and inquiring processes existing in the text and their frequency, we can understand thought, experiences and inner world of an author. Consequently, in this paper in addition to inquiring the processes of didactic Ghazals of Saadi, frequency and percentage of all kind of processes is demonstrated as a stylistic indicative of his work. Moreover through considering these frequencies his personality might be specified.
