Abstract

This study examines how international climate media constructs coastal women through grammatical choice and ecolinguistic framing. Drawing on Halliday's transitivity system and Stibbe's ecolinguistic framework, the study analyses 20 finite clauses extracted from 30 international news articles published between 2021 and 2025. The analysis asks what process types and participant roles are assigned to coastal women, what frames are produced through those choices, and what ecological meanings are foregrounded or erased. The findings show that material processes dominate the corpus: 18 of the 20 clauses contain a material component, and women appear in Actor roles in 14 clauses when dual-role structures are included. This pattern constructs coastal women mainly as workers, leaders, conservation actors, and climate-resilience agents rather than as passive victims. However, the analysis also identifies displaced agency in clauses where climate forces, institutions, or unnamed development actors occupy the active grammatical position, while women appear as affected participants, clients, or beneficiaries. Ecolinguistically, the corpus is therefore beneficial in recognising women's practical and political agency, but ambivalent in its recurring erasure of structural causes such as unequal coastal governance, exclusion from fisheries policy, and insecure land or livelihood rights. The study contributes to ecolinguistic media analysis by showing that grammatical agency alone is not enough; climate journalism must also name the power relations that make coastal women's resilience necessary.

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.
