EXTRA PRACTICE ON VERBAL PROCESS TYPES Instructions. 1) Read the text below 2) Identify the lexical verbs in each line. (The number is indicated in the column at the left). 3) UNDER each verb you have underlined, label it with the appropriate verb(al) process type. 1 She breathed heavily in her sleep. Deep, slow breaths. Suddenly the little girl 3 screamed loudly and sat straight up in bed. She had had a very bad and strange dream. 1 “Mom!” she yelled. 2 Her mother heard the cry and came quickly to her daughter’s room. 2 “There is a monster rabbit under my bed!” she said. 3 “No dear. There is no rabbit here….” said the mother reassuringly as she checked under the bed. 3 “But… What is this? It is your stuffed bear!” she exclaimed. NOTES B= Behavioral This is a grey area between Material and Mental Processes. These are involuntary or semi-involuntary and unconscious processes. They can ONLY take a HUMAN participant. laugh blink sneeze yawn die faint collapse fall blush sigh Downing, p. 85 M = Mental These are sensing verbs and reflect the process of our internal world. They are typically in relation to humans—or non-humans given human-like qualities—describing what we think, feel, desire and perceived. thinking Feeling and wanting perceiving Know Decide Like See Reflect Consider Hate Taste Comprehend Recall Dislike Hear Believe Hypothesize Want Smell Imagine Wonder Wish Observe Forget Understand Need Notice Remember Assume Fear sense Recollect Recognize enjoy Realize infer Derewianka, 2011, p. 22 Examples in context: Tom saw the ball in the tall grass. He knew it wasn’t his, but he wanted to get it. He didn’t realize there were lots of nettles among the grass. He soon felt his hand stinging. He wished he had noticed the nettles. Downing, p. 139 V = Verbal These are the processes of saying and communicating. The typical Verbal Process is say, but there are many others. For example: ask deny plead respond stammer claim explain promise tell suggest imply reply shout whisper murmur Bloor and Bloor; Derwianka 2011 p. 20 Ma= Material Material processes could be said to involve “doing words” or “action verbs”. R = Relational Relational processes express the concept of being in a broad sense. They answer the questions “who or what, where/when or whose is some entity, or What is some entity like?’ In other words, relational processes cover various ways of being: being something, being in some place/at some time, or in relation of possession. (Downing p. 144) Their eldest son is a musician. Your sister looks tired. The museum is around the corner. These keys are my brother’s The baby has blue eyes. These verbs do not express actions, speaking or thoughts or feeling. Their job is to simply link two pieces of information. being Examples: having Am, is, are Represent Have, has, had Was, were Remain Possess Mean Equal Own Become symbolize Include Seem Comprise appear Lack Derewianka, 2011, p. 24 encompass X = Existential Existential processes have only one participant. This type of process has two main forms of grammatical realization: There as subject and the copular verb (BE) There is no action or relationship being described: simply a state. Examples: There was an old house on the hill. There is a hole in your jeans. There was nothing to do. There was a not a breath of air stirring.
