This paper is in accordance to Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) proposed by Fairclough (Fairclough , 1995) that might reveal particular ideologies of particular society through the study of the language. A belief, especially in supernatural power, is a specific and significant ideology. This ideology becomes the source of, for instance, the employment of fairies and characters with supernatural power in folktales. A study on the language of the folktales might reveal how supernatural power is believed and hold by the members of society. The existence of supernatural power often brings about the uneven power relationship between the beings possessing supernatural powers and human being. This paper peruses the utilization of Modality and Transitivity system of the language (Halliday & Matthiessen, 2014) to observe ideational and interpersonal function of the texts. The Modality shows the interpersonal relationship among the characters and the Transitivity of the clauses shows the ideational meaning of the language. The objects are folktales from several societies in which supernatural power takes a part in the plots. However, it does not aim to obtain cultural generalization whenever it presents similarities and differences among the folktales. Hopefully, this paper would present literary appreciation from linguistic perspectives.
