Abstract

This study examines Cenning Rara, a sacred oral tradition in Buginese culture, through an anthropolinguistic perspective. Unlike narrative folklore, Cenning Rara functions as a ritual speech performance recited in bridal preparations and personal adornment contexts, where language is believed to possess spiritual efficacy. This research aims to analyze the linguistic structure, figurative expressions, and indexical meanings embedded in selected Cenning Rara texts. The data were analyzed using morphemic segmentation, parts-of-speech identification, literal and free translation comparison, and interpretation of figurative language based on Perrine’s classification. In addition, indexicality and symbolic functions were examined to understand how meaning operates within ritual performance. The findings reveal that Cenning Rara employs metaphor, hyperbole, symbolism, and celestial imagery to construct ideals of beauty, loyalty, and spiritual purity. Linguistically, reduplication, affixation, and rhythmic repetition reinforce its poetic and performative qualities. Indexically, the ritual speech points to social identity, gender ideology, moral values (siri’, lempu’, pesse), and spiritual mediation between the physical and metaphysical realms. The study demonstrates that Cenning Rara is not merely aesthetic language but a performative act that sustains cultural continuity and reinforces Bugis cosmology. This research contributes to anthropolinguistic studies by highlighting how ritual language functions as both cultural resource and social action in contemporary Bugis society.

Abstract

English-language climate change discourse shapes how readers understand the ecological crisis, yet little is known about how English as a Foreign Language (EFL) students in non-Western contexts respond to it. This study examined Bugis-Makassar EFL students’ responses to this discourse, focusing on the ecolinguistic features of their writing, their interpretation of the texts, and the local wisdom they draw on. Using a qualitative descriptive design, the study analyzed written reflections from 20 English Literature students at Universitas Hasanuddin who read three genres of climate texts: an IPCC report, a COP30 decision, and a BBC news articles. Reflections were analyzed using Stibbe’s ecological discourse analysis and transitivity and modality analysis based on Systemic Functional Grammar, and triangulated with semi-structured interviews with 20 students. Material processes dominated the 82 ideational clauses analyzed (61.0%), but human agents were often replaced by abstractions or removed through passive constructions. Students built strong urgency through high modality and scientific and moral framing, while destructive metaphors were largely absorbed from the source texts. Thirteen reflections were beneficial, seven ambivalent, and none destructive; ambivalence arose from anthropocentrism. Local wisdom appeared spontaneously in only three reflections, through the Bugis rituals mappadendang and mappanini bosi, while one interviewee linked the COP30 term mutirão to gotong royong. Students thus took a negotiated position, absorbing the grammar of global climate discourse while evaluating it critically through local experience. EFL instruction should explicitly teach epistemic modality and agency analysis and bring local wisdom into reading and writing tasks.
