Abstract

The present study aims at exploring in what way transitivity, which is a Critical Discourse Analysis tool, is applied to show the representation of George Floyd protests in three electronic newspapers. The data consists of five online articles from each newspaper published on the official websites of the selected newspapers. Since verbal and material processes are common in any protests, the research focuses on investigating the verbal and material processes in the three electronic newspapers in order to reflect their ideologies. The three newspapers represent different backgrounds. The electronic newspapers are "The Guardian", “Al-Ahram Weekly" and "USA today". The first newspaper is an example of a European newspaper. The second newspaper is an example of a Middle East newspaper. The third one is an example of an American Newspaper. Therefore, the findings of this research show that the three newspapers focus on the verbal processes rather than the material processes.
