- W3199787305 abstract "Language is vital in communicating poets’ ideas and desires. This is more so in revolutionary poetry. However, not much research work has been devoted to exploring the power of linguistic and stylistic stratagems in presenting the themes in revolutionary poems. Hence, this study attempts an analysis of the use of linguistic and stylistic devices in selected revolutionary poetry of a renowned Nigerian poet. To achieve this, ten poems were purposively selected from the poetry collections by Niyi Osundare, The Eye of the Earth and analysed using Blending Theory as theoretical framework. The analysis shows that the poet carefully deploys linguistic stratagems such as choice of nouns, verbs, adjectives to condemn man‘s activities against man and his environment, and to call for a revolution in order to have an egalitarian society. Action verbs relating to destruction are used to represent man‘s activities against man and man‘s activities against the environment. In addition, verbs depicting protection are also used to show what man ought to do to protect the environment and to gain freedom from the oppression and injustices meted out by those in authority. The study further reveals that the poet carefully uses words to form blends in order to convey some challenging messages on economic wastage, social stratification and inequality, fertility of the land, poverty, oppression and injustice, mismanagement and self-aggrandizement. The poet employs stylistic stratagems such as metaphor, simile, allusion, personification, and repetition. The study concludes that language and style are powerful revolutionary tools in the hands of Osundare as they serve as potent vehicles for effectively conveying his thoughts, feelings and revolutionary messages." @default.
