Abstract

The research analyzes how Richard Powers portrays climate anxiety in The Overstory through an ecocritical framework. The research investigates the emotional and psychological challenges which eight main characters Patricia Westerford, Nick Hoel, Olivia Vandergriff, Douglas Pavlicek, Adam Appich, Neelay Mehta, Ray Brinkman and Dorothy Cazaly experience because of ecological destruction. The characters in the story display different emotional reactions which reflect the ecological crisis through their feelings of fear and guilt and despair and deep anxiety. The research bases its analysis on the rising literary interest in psychological effects of climate change. The research aims to study climate anxiety representation in the novel while demonstrating how ecocriticism helps reveal its complex ethical and emotional aspects. The research employs qualitative methods and thorough textual analysis to demonstrate how multiple narrative perspectives in the novel allow readers to experience environmental crisis through different personal and ethical perspectives. Through its narrative The Overstory prompts readers to reevaluate their natural relationships while showing how literary works can both convey and strengthen shared emotional responses to climate anxiety

Abstract

This study explains how a Bugis sanro (traditional healer) constructs power through ritual speech in healing practices in Wajo, South Sulawesi. Employing a qualitative descriptive method, the researcher gathered data through direct observation, interviews, and audio-video recordings of the healing rituals. The analysis shows that the sanro’s authority is mainly built through two linguistic processes: contextualization and entextualization. First, contextualization is characterized by it- cleft construction and person deictic (first person, second person, third person, and first (inclusive)). Second, entextualization occurs when the sanro brings in Qur’anic verses, ancestral blessings, traditional Bugis mantras, and inherited ritual formulas. This entextualization occurs through the process of decontextualization and recontextualization. These texts, taken from older traditions and sacred sources, carry strong cultural and religious legitimacy. When the sanro inserts these texts into the healing moment, they strengthen her credibility and reinforce the belief that her words hold spiritual force. Together, these two processes show how ritual speech enables the sanro to gain trust, maintain authority, and perform effective healing.

Abstract

This study investigates how gendered and racial meanings are constructed through word-level language choices in Grace M. Cho’s memoir Tastes Like War (2021) using a feminist stylistic approach. Drawing on Sara Mills’ theory of gendered representation and evaluative language, supported by insights from Robin Lakoff and Dale Spender, the researcher examines how naming practices, evaluative adjectives, and role descriptions position female characters within patriarchal and racialized discourses. The study employs a descriptive qualitative method based on close textual reading and lexical analysis. The primary data consist of words, phrases, and expressions referring to female characters, particularly Cho’s mother, while secondary data include feminist stylistic scholarship and related studies on memoir and gender. The findings show that Kongja is frequently identified through relational and ethnic labels, while evaluative adjectives and prescriptive expressions frame her within norms of motherhood, domesticity, and female vulnerability. Pathologizing and racialized terms further construct deviation from ideal femininity as abnormal or stigmatized. At the same time, the memoir strategically reuses patriarchal language with ironic distance, exposing and questioning the ideological judgments imposed on immigrant womanhood. The study concludes that feminist stylistics is an effective framework for revealing how memoir language both reproduces and critiques gendered and racialized constructions of women’s identities.Keywords: feminist stylistics, naming
