Abstract

Language to some extent is ideological. It sometimes defocuses or altogether conceals aspects of realities. Information is sometimes mystified through grammatical construction. In transitivity system of SFL (Halliday and Matthiessen, 2014) a speaker may conceal process through nominalization. Nominalization concerns deverbalization of verbal construction. Verb is reduced to thing. This study is to find out the constructions and the types of Balinese nominalization based on the underlying process. The result shows that in Balinese language nominalization can be formed through affixation process. It is generally characterized by the use of prefix pe- (pa-) or ke- (ka-) and suffix –an. The base of the nominalized forms in Balinese represents process, circumstance, phenomenon and attribute. When the base of the noun represents process, it is worded as verb; when it represents circumstance, it is worded as adverb of time; when it represents phenomenon, it is worded as adjective; and when it represents attribute, it is worded as adjective or noun. Balinese language becomes a unique language since the base of its nominalized forms can be worded as adverb of time. Based on their underlying process, the types of nominalization in Balinese include: a) nominalization: Material/Action/Intention/Non-Transactive; b) nominalization: Material/Action/Intention/Transactive; c) nominalization: Material/Event/NonTransactive; d) nominalization: Mental; e) nominalization: Relational; and f) nominalization: Verbal.
