Relational Process

Relational process is devided into two. The attributive and identifying.

 The attributive process is a process in giving attribute to a thing or a certain object. Attributive
process has two participants. Which are carrier and attribute. Attributive process can not be
reversed or irreversible. For example “Rani is smart” can not reverse as “smart is Rani”

 The identifying process expresses the identical properties or it can be mentioned as giving a
value to a thing. Identifying process has two participants. Which are token and value. Identifying
process is reversible. For example “Juna is the most handsome man” can be reversed as “the
most handsome man is Juna”

Extentional process

 Extentional process is represented by verbs of existing. Such as “be”, “exist”, and “arise”. In
addition, existential process is easy to be identified using the word “there” in which doesn’t
refer to a location. For example “there was a bird” and “on the wall there hangs a picture”
