However, the analysis of institutional anthems as a sub-genre of anthems has received minimal attention in linguistic research. The current study therefore adopts a qualitative exploratory procedure to conduct a transitivity analysis of process types and their encoded implications in selected Ghanaian university anthems underpinned by the transitivity framework by Halliday and Matthiessen (2014) . The sample for the study is composed of anthems of four main or traditional universities in Ghana. The four anthems that serve as data for the study are anthems of University for Development Studies (UDS), University of Cape Coast (UCC), University of Ghana (UG) and University of Education, Winneba (UEW) . The consensual coding strategy is used to check the validity of the coding process. The results indicate a preponderant use of material processes to spell out the expected actions to be taken by members of the universities to inure to the holistic progress of their institutions. Other process types such as relational, mental and verbal processes are minimally used to establish relationships, eulogize and personify the universities as important institutions worthy of praise. The study concludes that the creation of institutional solidarity was better represented through the analysis of process types in the selected Ghanaian university anthems. The implications of this study unveil the importance of university anthems in the representation of the goals, visionsand missions of universities and recommend that tertiary institutions who use adopted anthems could relook at that by getting to compose their own anthems in alignment with the goals, vision and mission underpinning their establishment. |\n\nINTRODUCTION  \nLanguage is a medium of communication with multifaceted functions. Language exists in society and society also exists in Language (Adeyanju, 2002) . The varied functions of language are manifested in its use in various aspects of society such as in the media, health, education, law, politics, and in other fields. Mwinwelle, Adukpo and Mwinwelle (2019) posit that “Language is flexible and it has elastic edges which provide users the opportunity to manoeuvre it in order to interpret their psychological states or thoughts”(p. 162) . Various groups of people therefore use language as a unifying force to pull their members together in order to achieve their collective aims. Continents, international organisations, nations, political parties and other institutions are bonded by their commonality of core values and mission articulated through language use.
