Ethiopian life‑cycle rituals have been extensively documented, yet the specific linguistic mechanisms that encode cosmology and social hierarchy remain undertheorised. Existing studies treat language as a transparent medium rather than a constitutive force. This article introduces two novel concepts, celestial diglossia (stratified access to astronomical registers) and the moral clock (celestial events that license ritual speech)—to explain how Oromo, Amhara, and Gedeo ritual discourse re‑classifies initiates across birth, initiation, marriage, and death. Twelve months of participant observation, 85 interviews with ritual specialists (Hayyu, Qallu, priests, Zār leaders), and audio‑recorded speech events (marriage negotiations, Dhibaayyuu vows, Zār healing sessions) were analysed using discourse analysis and ethnographic semantics. Celestial diglossia parallels the Ge‛ez‑Amharic split, creating an epistemic hierarchy where priests control constellation names (e.g., Bakkalcha/Pleiades) and heliacal calculations. The moral clock exemplified by Bakkalcha’s rising—periodically licenses Mekdes (loyal reproach), transforming taboo direct criticism into a “face gift.” This temporary inversion reinforces rather than subverts hierarchy. In Gadaa transitions, the new Abbaa Gadaa cannot pronounce judgement formulas until Bakkalcha’s first sighting. Eclipses suspend all ritual speech, proving the clock’s regulatory coherence. Ethiopian ritual discourse accomplishes a triple transformation (biological→social→cosmic) through linguistic encoding, not mere symbolism. Age‑grade progression is mapped directly onto observable celestial events. Linguistic anthropology must integrate astronomical time as a performative dimension. Future research should examine southern Ethiopian groups (Sidama, Konso) and the impact of Orthodox Christianity on contemporary ritual registers.

This study uses a descriptive qualitative research type because it describes the types of slips of the tongue, pauses, and their causative factors that occur in Rigen Rakelna's utterances in the comedy program Target Operasi. Data analysis techniques in this study consist of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing as well as verification. Based on the results the types of slips of the tongue that occur in Rigen Rakelna in the Target Operasi comedy program are semantic types, word blends, anticipation, and perseveration types. Meanwhile, the pauses are two, namely pauses pauses and filled pauses. In the type of filled pauses, various forms or sounds were found, including the sound eee, the phrase inian, and ini yaa.

Language is critical in producing and disseminating international news, as journalists must gather and interpret information across linguistic and cultural boundaries. This qualitative study, anchored in Gatekeeping and Framing Theory, used in-depth interviews with five Channels Television editorial staff to examine how Nigerian journalists handle language barriers in international reporting. Findings show barriers include interpreting foreign-language documents, understanding culturally embedded expressions, verifying non-English sources, and communicating with foreign-language interviewees. Journalist’s counter these with machine translation tools, multilingual professional networks, international wire services, editorial review, and AI-assisted verification platforms. Though these strategies improve accuracy and efficiency, they’re limited by deadlines, funding, inadequate language training, and dependence on external intermediaries. The study concludes language barriers still reduce the quality and depth of international reporting in Nigerian newsrooms, and recommends investment in language training, multilingual verification systems, and cross-cultural communication skills to boost credibility.
