Abstract
This paper explores the depiction of a female protagonist in Egyptian literature through Halliday’s Transitivity framework. By examining Reem Bassiouny’s novel Professor Hanaa, the study utilizes both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyse the lexico-grammatical techniques used to portray the protagonist. The research aims to uncover how the transitivity system represents the mental and emotional dimensions of the female lead, offering insights into her character through the lens of linguistic processes. The findings reveal how transitivity choices reflect the protagonist’s internal and external experiences, providing a deeper understanding of her role and representation within the narrative.
