Style Variation in West African Englishes

The aim of this book is the comparative and critical evaluation of how the domestication of English Language has fared in West Africa, focusing on Nigerian and Ghanaian English (NE/GE). Using the descriptive method, this book examined the usage of English Language and its abridged variant (Pidgin English) in a Nigerian Nollywood and a Ghanaian Ghallywood movie respectively. All through the analyses and discussions presented in this book, the findings were compared with other published studies in addressing the set aim and objectives of the book.
