Abstract
The objective of the research is to describe the argument structure of transitive sentence (ASTS) in Toba Batak Language (TBL). The data is analyzed by distributional method as suggested by Soedaryanto (1993) and Mahsun (2011). With the use of the oral and written data, as well as the observation method, this research has found that the argument structure of indirect object is placed preceding the verb and argument structure of direct object which becomes the subject itself, is followed by the indirect object. In bi-transitive sentence, there is one oblique argument which is marked by preposition /tu-/. Each of the verb then forms the transitive and bitransitive sentence which are of course marked by different affixes.
