Shiraz University Journal of Poetry Studies (boostan Adab) 2008-8183 9 2 2017 08 23 An ideational metafunction processes analysis of the poem "the one who is not like anyone" by Forough Farokhzad based on Halliday's systemic functional theory An ideational metafunction processes analysis of the poem "the one who is not like anyone" by Forough Farokhzad based on Halliday's systemic functional theory 97 120 3953 10.22099/jba.2017.3953 FA Journal Article 2016 12 05 Hallliday's systemic functional theory is a social look at language which is interwoven with three metafunctional processes. The present paper is an analysis of the role of different processes in the poem "The one who is not like anyone" by Forugh Farrokhzad. In this paper we ask how the mental process affects other processes and whether it is possible for a minimal process in a poetical position to be developed into a dominant social discourse.  In a broader sense, is poetic vision capable of turning into a substantial social discourse? The ideational metafunction section and processes from Halliday´s (1976) systemic functional theory are selected for the analysis. It is argued that the most usage of material and relational processes and the least usage of mental processes are used in her poem, respectively. Thus other processes have been used in accordance with the development of mental process to foretell someone is coming.  <strong>Keywords</strong>: Halliday´s  Systemic Functional Theory, Ideational Metafunction, Mental  Process, Contemporary Poetry, Forugh Farrokhzad Hallliday's systemic functional theory is a social look at language which is interwoven with three metafunctional processes.
