Abstract

This research article explores the transitivity system of rice ritual texts conducted by the Adat Karuhun Urang (AKUR) Sunda Wiwitan community. This study employs a qualitative research design. The data are rice ritual texts. The data were collected through participant observation and interviews with some elders of AKUR Sunda Wiwitan. The gathered data underwent an analysis utilizing the transitivity system as delineated by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014). The result revealed that the process types contained are material, mental, verbal, relational, behavioural, and existential. The material is the most common type of process, which depicts the actions that people take with the rice and things that happen to the rice. The participants involved are humans, God, a Pwah Aci figure, nature elements, and the state of the ancestors. The circumstances refer to place, time, reason, frequency, quality, comparison, and guise. The place is the dominant aspect of circumstances, which explains where the seeds of rice are planted, where God exists, the origin place of Pwah Aci and where Pwah Aci lives on earth. The rice ritual texts reveal the experiential meaning of a harmonious relationship between humans, God, and nature.
