This paper reports on a study on Experiential meaning particularly the main process types used in the reporting of the airstrike event launched by Malaysian security forces on March 5, 2013 during the intrusion of “Sulu Sultan” followers in Lahad Datu. Data for the study comprised text reports pertinent to the airstrike event published in four different English newspapers which are The News Straits Times (NST), The Star (TS), The Philippine Daily Inquirer (TPDI) and The Philippine Star (TPS). A total of 8 texts were analysed. Various methods have been developed to study newspapers representation and stance of controversial issues which include content analysis, critical discourse analysis, lexical cohesion, the use of metaphors, transitivity and thematic analysis among others. However, the framework of transitivity has not been widely used. Hence, Systemic Functional Linguistics (SFL), in particular, the System of Transitivity propounded by M.A.K. Halliday (1994) was used to bridge the gap in research and the methodology of text analysis was deployed. The study revealed that NST was the only newspaper which highlighted the sorrow and the grief of Malaysians and its Prime Minister in which this newspaper accounts for the most in employing the Mental Processes, while TS, TPDI and TPS highlighted more on the physical actions and the resoluteness of both countries in handling the Lahad Datu conflict when Material Processes were dominant in these newspapers.

English Text analysis becomes one of many approaches to analyze the dynamics of mother tongue issues whose condition is relatively appalling. Mother tongue (language) is the earliest language acquired by a member of society starting from the cradle of family. Because of its proximity, mother language is close to local language. However, its popularity is less than Bahasa Indonesia and foreign languages. It is reflected on the related texts in media for International Mother Language Day (IMLD). This is descriptive qualitative type of research using criteria-based sampling along with content analysis technique to the related texts of IMLD in the daily printed national newspaper, Kompas. The researcher used Systemic Functional Linguistics to obtain interpersonal: transactional meanings through mood structure analysis from narration, reports, and quotations. Based on the analysis, the study investigated the attitudes presented by participants in the texts to their readers from analysis results of modalization and modulation. This research concluded that the texts were more dominated by language meanings with transaction on information rather than action. This affected on the modes of delivering messages informatively and the orientation of enriching the insights.
