Abstract

This discourse analysis aims to compare and evaluate the patriarchal language on woman’s body represented by the preaching of Muhammadiyah and Salafi’s clerics. Both have positioned the woman’s body as a regulatory discourse that must be controlled by men. The data, which included 15 minutes and 5 minutes of transcripts of the respective clerics’ preaching, were taken from Youtube by employing stratified purposive sampling. Deploying transitivity system by Halliday and three interacting domains of Appraisal, evaluation language theory, postulated by Martin and White, this study found that each cleric approached this discourse in discrepant linguistic manners. From the language of Muhammadiyah’s cleric, it was found that the cleric delineated this discourse based on the segregation of the dubious religious correct and incorrect propriety for the women, different from Salafi’s cleric, the plausible religious normality. Both clerics’ languages were dominated by relational processes alongside negative judgements within intensified heteroglossic utterances.
