Abstract

Effective communication through the medium of indigenous languages serves as an invaluable instrument that facilitates every language’s right to information during pandemics. Different online media outlets used Nigerian languages to disseminate information that could enhance the success of public health measures targeted at mitigating the impact of COVID-19. However, not all of the audience absorbed the messages positively. This study attempts to analyze the use of hate speech in the comments of readers of Hausa online news items on Legit Hausa and BBC Hausa that responded to news items on COVID-19. To achieve this, the readers' comments were purposively sampled and analyzed based on the pragmatic principles of politeness and peaceful communication. In addition, systemic functional grammar was used to explicate the grammatical features of the analyzed linguistic elements of the comments written in Hausa. It was found that the comments were not only replete with inflammatory language – stripping the users of the status of communicative humanizer – inimical to preventive measures against COVID-19 but also capable of widening the opinion divide. Furthermore, most comments analyzed flout the principles of Hausa spelling and sentence construction. The study thus recommends that linguistic activists should consistently advocate for the use of Nigerian languages that conform to linguistic norms and the principles of peaceful communication that would curtail misinformation and division in the course of pandemic control.

Abstract

This paper made a lexico-semantic analysis of several social media neologisms, checked their frequencies on the online corpus WebCorp, and checked their usage regarding derivations, conversions, or compounding on Bangladeshi online webpages and newspapers. The selected words were also checked in the recorded conversations and focus group interview scripts collected from the students of the two public universities in Bangladesh to scrutinize the different forms of the words found on WebCorp. The findings revealed that the words were mostly frequent in the written as well as in the spoken languages as nouns and all other formations of each of the base words were not that frequent. Some of the formations seemed to be forced creations. The discussion exposes that these neologisms have been inserted into the Bangla language without any significant changes as if they were Bangla words. Thus, they have become an inseparable part of the Bangla language and important examples of linguistic creativity. Their usage also symbolizes modern identity.

Abstract

This research focuses on the imperative need for effective language teacher production in Nigeria to meet the growing demand for language education and applied linguistics. The study introduces the P7 Model, a comprehensive framework that encompasses seven key elements essential for successful language teacher development: Personnel, Potentials, Partnership, Process, Property, Product, and Probing. The research involves a survey of 400 practicing language teachers across various educational levels in Nigeria. The survey examines their perceptions regarding the importance of these seven elements in shaping language teacher education programs. The findings are analyzed using simple percentages. The results highlight strong agreement among respondents concerning the significance of each P7 element in the language teacher development process. Specifically, participants emphasize the need for competent, proficient, and enthusiastic teaching staff (Personnel), collaborative efforts through partnerships, research, and engagement with regulatory bodies (Partnership), admission of candidates with a genuine interest in language teaching and strong academic potential (Potentials), a curriculum emphasizing practical skills and employability (Process), the provision and optimal use of infrastructure and resources (Property), job security, remuneration, incentives, and continuing professional development (Product), and quality assurance and control throughout the teacher development process (Probing). The P7 Model offers a structured approach to guide language program administrators and policymakers in shaping effective language teacher education programs. Prioritizing these elements is crucial to ensure the availability of skilled, dedicated, and enthusiastic language teachers who can meet the demands of the 21st century, ultimately facilitating applied linguistics and language education in Nigeria.

Abstract

This study investigates the intricate interplay between intertextuality and discourse in Ken Liu’s evocative short story Paper Menagerie, focusing on cultural identity negotiation and heritage language dynamics. Through qualitative literary analysis involving multiple close readings, thematic coding, comparative contextualization, and detailed interpretation, the interplay between Liu’s masterful integration of multifaceted cultural allusions and the discourse patterns surrounding generational language divides and struggles with self-concept is examined. The analysis reveals how Liu adeptly employs intertextuality through origins, Qingming festivities, and other symbols to create resonance and authenticity in exploring assimilationist tensions, while patterns in the text reinforce acculturative pressures and resulting linguistic barriers faced by immigrants. Ultimately, these layers synergize to reflect deeply on the preservation of identity tensions. As with textual analysis, subjective interpretive constraints persist, limiting generalizability. Further exploration through intertextual threads in Liu’s broader writings could enrich the understanding of his versatile identity while revealing philosophical evolution. The intricate symbiosis between intertextuality and discourse breathes life into this narrative, crystallizing universally relatable experiences through a culturally specific lens. While bittersweet, Liu’s artistry is a poignant reminder that interweaving past and present fosters empathy across paper menageries.

Abstract

Personal and social deixis have been the key factors in how people can engage in a conversation or discourse. From Hamdaoui (2015), it is known that deixis is one of the linguistic techniques that politicians emphasize a lot. Any linguistic theory can study it, but pragmatics must since it informs the analyst about the context of language production, including who is speaking, to whom, when, and where (Triki, 2010). Thus, this study used personal and social deixis theory in modern linguistics to answer several research questions, such as what deixis the candidates use and what are the effects. The research aims to see how each candidate effectively draws people’s attention in a presidential debate through the analysis of social deixis. Kamala Harris chooses to be more populist by using expressions such as exclusive ‘we’ or ‘us’ and ‘you’. Meanwhile, Mike Pence focuses on presenting himself and Trump through the use of expressions such as I and inclusive ‘we’ or ‘us’. Moreover, the distant relationship with Trump’s Administration that Kamala Harris has shown to the public can be a factor in how Americans see Joe and Kamala as different figures from their predecessors.
