        Stance Acts in Select Nigerian and South Korean News Report on COVID-19 Pandemic

        Isaiah Aluya 세종대학교 언어연구소 2023 Journal of Universal Language Vol.24 No.1

        The widespread of COVID-19 pandemic across the globe has been a subject of discourse in the media, with different media outlets striving to report issues of the pandemic to the general public since its outbreak. The question of media objectivity in portraying the pandemic has gained and will continue to receive scholarly attention. Hence, the objectivity of the print media in relaying the pandemic crisis in Nigeria and South Korea is called into question in this article which investigates stance acts in the reportage of COVID-19 pandemic by a few select newspapers in Nigeria and South Korea. Twenty-eight extracts were purposively sampled, 7 each from Nigeria’s Daily Trust and This Day as well as South Korea’s the Korea Times and the Korea Herald respectively. This is intending to uncover the types of stance acts adopted by each newspaper, their pragmatic functions, the choice of lexico-grammatical resources for expressing stance and the objectivity of each news report in portraying the pandemic. The study draws insight from the conceptual framework of linguistic stance. The analysis shows that epistemic, deontic and affective stance acts featured in the news report. They are used to evaluate the COVID-19 pandemic, provide evidence to support the propositions made, and unveil dispositions in relation to the issue. Also, the assertive, commissive, expressive and directive speech acts serve to relay facts, indicate commitment, express feelings and issue order. Lexico-grammatical features such as modals, hedges and stance clauses signalled by verbs, adjectives and nouns function to introduce the epistemic, deontic and affective stance acts. Finally, each news report displayed a proclivity for the use of objective language in reporting the COVID-19 pandemic, even though there were very slight traces of the use of subjective language in some of the news reports.

        Lexical Repetition and Syntactic Parallelism in Selected Political Essays of Niyi Osundare and Ray Ekpu

        Ayo Ogunsiji,Isaiah Aluya 세종대학교 언어연구소 2022 Journal of Universal Language Vol.23 No.1

        This paper examines lexical repetition and syntactic parallelism in selected political essays of Niyi Osundare and Ray Ekpu, which have been relatively underexplored, in order to determine how they have been deployed to represent Nigeria’s socio-political concerns as well as the points of convergence and divergence in the use of these devices by both writers. M.A.K Halliday’s Systemic Functional Grammar served as the framework. Eighteen (18) essays were purposively sampled; 9 each from Osundare and Ekpu’s publications in Newswatch where they both published between the Second and Fourth Republics (1979–1999). The study shows that lexical repetitions underscore argument, expand the thematic range and create lexical links between words in the discourses. Syntactic parallelism creates a multidimensional representation of discourse themes such as deprivation, anarchy, civil unrest, moral decline, government’s harsh economic policies and intimidation of the press. These themes are situated within a specific context in order to reinforce their gravity. Osundare’s essays deployed the mhq patterns for effective description and thematic projection. Conversely, Ekpu’s essays use the mhq and hq patterns for effective description and thematic projection. The essays of Osundare employ the SPC1 structure to foreground the blatant disregard for human rights while Ekpu’s employs the SPCA and SPA structures in projecting the breach of the judiciary. These devices contribute to the structure of the selected essays and create room for according emphasis and explicitness to the discourse themes. Osundare and Ekpu draw on lexical repetition and syntactic parallelism to unveil and denounce socio-political ills in the country. They employ these devices to underscore their political stance.
