Abstract

This research analyzes linguistic formats in G7 communiques from 2020 to 2023 through the lens of the Systemic Functional Linguistics framework, emphasizing material processes and mental processes, and relational processes. The study demonstrates how language patterns have evolved since the beginning of the analysis period. The 2020 and 2021 communiqués mainly utilized destructive language to stress obstacles and difficulties at the expense of constructive environmental initiatives. The 2022 and 2023 communiqué documents displayed a different outlook toward environmental concerns through their focus on commitments along with pledges and collaborative initiatives to address these issues. The research investigation uses qualitative along quantitative methods to analyze the distribution and situational employment of different linguistic processes. Statistical data reveal that G7 nations are using more optimistic and action-oriented expressions when discussing their environmental responsibilities. This indicates a growing change in their environmental attitude. Language maintains a vital position in creating policy stories while it determines how public audiences understand them. The study recommends educating stakeholders while promoting positive wording and raising public environmental consciousness to develop effective environmental dialogue. This analysis demonstrates through ecolinguistic methods that environmental communication depends heavily on linguistic decision-making. The research demands additional investigation to develop effective language strategies that can streamline policy creation along with its execution.
