Abstract : English Idiomatic Equivalence on the Way of Speaking of Women in Pannampu Traditional Market Community: A Sociolinguistic Perspective. This research aims to figure out the English idiomatic equivalence on the way of speaking of women in Pannampu traditional market community, and displaying the way strong expletives are used in their everyday speech. It was conducted within Pannampu traditional market community and Hasanuddin University Makassar. Data were collected from field and library research. They consisted of recordings of everyday speech and any other secondary sources. The research employed an ethnographic qualitative design with a functional semiotic analysis approach. In collecting data, the researcher employed participant observation where the object collected had been specified before. This research displays that the way of speaking of women in Pannampu traditional market community was carried out by contextualized casual language (the words that are used indexing the context constructing the meaning), the use of clitics and particles, and also by employing conduplicatio rhetorical system (the repetition of word or words exists to highlight the meaning). Furthermore, it is figured out that the way strong expletives are used in everyday communication are by indexing the names of food, animals, bodily effluvia, sexuality, and the state of human intelligence.
