Language & Style in the Trilogies of Adimora-Ezeigbo and Okekwe

Language & Style in the Trilogies of Adimora-Ezeigbo and Okekwe is a linguistic-cum-literary interpretation of three novels of Akachi Adimora-Ezeigbo - The Last of the Strong Ones, House of Symbols and Children of the Eagle - and those of Promise Ogochukwu Okekwe - Hall of memories, Zita-Zita and Fumes and Cymbals - written in the trilogy tradition. The main approach is stylistics, in which a number of linguistic theories and a literary theory were employed as framework for analysis.
