1.3 METHODOLOGY
The research work is divided into four chapters for
easy analysis. Chapter one introduces what the research work is all
about. That is, the general introduction. The literature review makes up
the next chapter which is chapter two.
The major data for this study
will be gathered from some selected handbills and posters of Christian
adverts in Ilorin. A total sample of twenty (20) handbills and posters
will be collected and analyzed in chapter three (3). Chapter four (4)
sums up the whole work with observations, summary and conclusions. Then
the references end it.
1.4 JUSTIFICATION
Although, researches have
been carried out in this field, the researcher aims to add more to what
other researcher must have done. The researcher is willing to know if
the expressions on those handbills and posters have other meanings.
This
study will also help to promote the study of pragmatics in the field of
language study. It will also serve as a guideline for students who
might be interested in this field to know the effect of pragmatics on
the expressions used in handbills and posters.
1.5 CHRISTAIN HANDBILLS AND POSTERS
Handbills
and posters are used by so many people; they are used by music
industries, beauty pageantries, schools, Muslims, Christians. Etc. but
the researcher considers Christian/church handbills and posters most
suitable for this research work.
Christians are people who believe in
the Almighty God and worship him in church. They are headed by pastors,
deacons, elders, priests, bishops, reverend fathers, etc. we have
different kinds of churches in Nigeria, we have the Catholics,
Anglicans, Pentecostals, etc. and each of these want people/Christians
to worship in their churches. In order to achieve this aim, they do
things like evangelism, crusades, praise nights, sharing of handbills
etc. telling them about upcoming event/events or about their church
services.
Most of these handbills and posters contain the names of
their churches, host pastors, venue, time, themes, and other sentences
to encourage them to come, some of these sentences include testimonies,
words of encouragement etc. the main in general is to invite people to
their churches in order to fellowship with them.
Handbills and posters are littered everywhere but just few will be selected for the progress of this work.
