This paper, through the transitivity system, presents a critical discourse analysis of "Great Minds Meet"—Yang Lan One-on-One about G20, a talk show on Zhejiang TV of China in 2016. It verifies the applicability and feasibility of the transitivity system in decoding the speakers' ideological positions and their power relationship. Based on the analysis of six types of processes, this paper reveals:(1) the linguistic choices made by the interviewee Kim Yong present his optimistic attitude towards the main topics in this TV talk show;(2) the interviewee has a strong power in facilitating this show;(3) an atmosphere of harmony among all speakers is maintained constantly.展开更多
