An Assessment of the use of Language in Ifeoma Okoye's Men without Ears

This research examines the artistic use of language by Ifeoma Okoye in her novel: Men Without Ears. The author uses language to admonish the Nigerian citizenry in particular and mankind in general to beware of vainglory or pride, incontinency, corruption, professional misconduct as well as undue desire for amassment of material wealth. The writers of this paper painstakingly assess such use of language by the author, and by so doing, they have not only conspicuously inflamed the passion of the readership but also added aesthetic value to the novel Unubi, Sunday Abraham | Ikani, Eneojo Friday"An Assessment of the use of Language in Ifeoma Okoye's Men without Ears" Published in International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development (ijtsrd), ISSN: 2456-6470, Volume-1 | Issue-5 , August 2017, URL: http://www.ijtsrd.com/papers/ijtsrd2441.pdf http://www.ijtsrd.com/other-scientific-research-area/other/2441/an-assessment-of-the-use-of-language-in-ifeoma-okoye's-men-without-ears/unubi-sunday-abraham
