Description

Download A Systemic Text Linguistic Study of Selected Nigerian Novels. English Language students who are writing their projects can get this material to aid their research work.

Abstract

The aim of this research was to do an in-depth study of the variations in language as used by the various novelists in the novels selected for this study.

The objectives of the study were to investigate the divergent ways in which these writers have creatively used English to perform the functional role of communication in a non-native environment, show the extent to which their various choices succeed in the supposed semantic function.

Show how systemic text linguistic approach is a departure from other stylistic approaches and to show how the features of these “Englishes” contribute to the development of the concept of global English.

The novels studied are Chukwuemeka Ike’s Our Children Are Coming, Festus Iyayi’s The Contract and Abubakar Gimba’s Witnesses to Tears.

The study is a text linguistic one based on the Systemic Functional model. The two text linguistic concepts of “projection” and “procedure” were used in the selection of data from the chosen texts for analysis.
