Abstract

This study explores the role of language and communication in English literature, focusing on how words influence meaning, shape perspectives, and express cultural values. The primary objectives are to analyze the communicative power of language in selected literary works, examining how stylistic and rhetorical devices are employed to evoke emotions, construct identities, and convey ideologies. The study utilizes a qualitative approach, employing textual analysis as the method of data collection. Literary texts, including poems and essays, were analyzed to investigate the interplay between language, discourse, and communication. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) was applied to assess the socio-cultural and ideological dimensions embedded within these texts. The findings reveal that language in English literature serves as a powerful tool for social influence, resistance, and identity formation. The study concludes that understanding the communicative power of words is essential in deciphering the deeper meanings and societal impacts conveyed through literature.

Based on the findings of the study, it was recommended among other things that to eradicate ‘Brown Envelope Journalism’ from Ghana's media landscape, Ghanaian media organizations should pay their journalists well.

Abstract

As a well-known poet, Rupi Kaur has written several poems which attract worldwide accolades. The present study explores several important aspects of her selected poems, such as feminism, humor, and irony. It was conducted qualitatively. In this case, the researchers acted to analyze and collected the data consecutively. The findings indicated that the concepts of feminism described in her poems tend to be more liberal and radical. The use of crude language to depict women as "male objects" plainly supports this notion. Furthermore, Kaur employs filthy language to prick the reader's conscience and make them aware of the societal critique offered in her poems. The element of Humor identified in the poems is used to portray the injustice of societal rules that restrict women. Despite showing poor grammatical aspects, such as the use of proper subject, the poem strives to vividly criticize the role of women, which is commonly valued solely on their physical looks, dismissing their worth and complexity as humans.
