Functional linguistics appeared as a reaction to formal approaches to grammar, especially generative and transformational approaches.

The purposes of this study are it describes what verbs in transitivity that consists of material process and it probes how the material process in English Clauses is used. The method which is used is descriptive comparative. The discussions show that verbs in transitivity can contain the material process.
