dc.descriptionThis study focuses on two (Nigerian) presidential aspirants' statements and their allies' utterances on state matters. We therefore investigate the stylistic value of sense relations, lexis and discourse in the selected texts. The role the media played in such circumstances is also examined for being the vehicular mechanism through which the target audience is reached. Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) which sees the human as being essentially a political animal whose political instinct is always manifesting in the choice and usage of words is the theoretical framework.
