SCOPE AND DELIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The research titled ‘stylistic
analysis of a selected campaign speech of President Goodluck Jonathan’
is aimed at studying the use of language in the selected campaign speech
of president good luck Jonathan. The areas to be covered in the
stylistic analysis of this speech are phonology, morphology, cohesion,
graphology and lexico- syntactic structures. The nature of this research
is empirical which has to do with general and extensive study of a
particular field or area. For example H.G widow son’s ‘stylistic and the
teaching of literature’ are both previous works in this field. They
both deal with the analysis and pedagogical treatment of literary texts
from a view point of stylistics.
On the contrary, this research is
unique –that is, different from other previous works because it focuses
mainly on the stylistics analysis of presidential campaign speech of
president good luck Jonathan and not just on stylistics analysis and
this will makes readers of this work not to only look at the text of any
speech what so ever, but also the context in which lies the style of
language.
1.4. JUSTIFICATION OF THE STUDY
Several works have
been done on the stylistics analysis of some selected presidential
campaign speeches in Nigeria in which the one selected for this research
can be inclusive. But this research is necessary because not all these
works were able to pin-point the main idea behind campaign speeches
especially that of the president and because just few of these works are
centered on campaign speeches all others are just on stylistics or
stylistic analysis.
It is not this study of stylistic or stylistics
analysis that borders the readers but the details, the break down
(anatomy and physiology) of the given speeches. To this effect, some
gaps have been left unfilled by these previous works. Gaps like detail
stylistic analysis on campaign speeches the analysis of the mode by
which it is delivered and many others will prove the authenticity of
this research.
