- W3206992713 abstract "This work investigates the Discourse Patterning in traditional Igbo culture as reflected in Ewurum’s (2016) A Fight for the gods. It affirms that language reflects the effective history of the communication of a community and the world’s opportunity of getting enriched experiences through the tradition and language of a people. The predominant culture and values inherent in a community shape not just their ways of life, but, their linguistic choices, expressions and experience. This study assesses the various performatives exploited in the selected text using the theoretical framework propounded by Austin (1975) on performative speech acts, which explain that utterances in discourses play specific roles. Insights are also drawn from Searle’s (1999) speech acts which are improved form of the study on Austin's five categories of performatives. Thirteen samples of interactions from Ewurum's A Fight for the gods constitute data base for analysis. From the study, it is concluded that utterances have functional relevance in discourses among interlocutors in traditional settings. The uninterrupted turn-taking norms in discourses reflect the linguistic behaviour as well as relationship between language and the traditional society.Linguistic choices are to a great extent context-dependent. The solidarity dimension accounts for patterns of linguistics interaction. How well one knows the interlocutor partner determines how to talk to them. The linguistic choices reflect the degree of solidarity between the speaker and addressee. It is recommended that users of language should avoid the use of some behavitives like cursing and challenging which can stir conflict and use of altercative utterances like name calling. Also teachers of literature and English as second language should teach the language of the text, not just the thematic preoccupations, so that appropriate linguistic competences will be inculcated especially in the use of exercitives. Also, the societal norms and values conveyed in the languages of a community will be learned by the students and other readers of the culture-based texts." @default.
