ABSTRACT

Semantics is a sub-discipline of linguistics which focuses on the study of meaning. The study was conducted to semantically analyze the Nigerian English Expression. In achieving this aim, the following specific objectives were laid out as follows to assess the level of intelligibility to typically Nigerian English expressions, carry out a semantic analysis of identified English expressions and identify the elements that constitutes uniquely Nigerian English expressions. The expressions context are made up of forty (40) established English expression interpreted based on meaning and level of intelligibility which access whether they are typically Nigerian English expressions or not. In presenting the data, table were used, this enabled the researcher to present the meaning and intelligibility assessment of the selected Nigerian English. There are four tables in all representing different sub-heading under them. On the level of intelligibility assessment, the failure has the highest figure than those who succeeded. The study is significant to learners of English in Nigeria because by presenting the same equivalents of the analyzed Nigerian expressions, it provides a variable insight for these learners to see the difference that exist between Nigeria English and the standard variety and thus will help to develop their use of English to attain the standard requirement.


Semantic Analysis of Nigerian English Expression

CHAPTER ONE

1.1 Introduction

Semantics is a sub-discipline of linguistics which focuses on the study of meaning. Semantics tries to understand what meaning is as an element of language as well as how it is interpreted, obscured and negotiated by speakers and listeners of the language. It looks at the relationship in language and looks at how those meanings are created. Semantics is the study of meaning. It is a wide subject between the general studies of language. An understanding of semantics is essential to the study of language acquisition (how language users acquire a sense of meaning, as speakers and writers, listeners and readers) and of language change (how meaning alter over time). It is important for understanding language in social contexts as these are likely to affect meaning, and for understanding varieties of meaning and effects of style.

As a prelude to other parts of this study, this chapter will discuss the background upon which this study was initiated, the statement of problems that led to this study, the Aim and Objectives of the study. Others are Significance of the study, Scope of work, Research hypothesis and questions, Limitations of the Study and Definition of technical terms.

Defense Procedure for Linguistics and Communication Researchers

In preparation for defending a project or seminar on Semantic Analysis of Nigerian English Expression, it is imperative that as a nursing student, you demonstrate comprehensive knowledge of your research. The defense process is structured to include presenting your work, answering questions, and illustrating its pertinence. Initially, provide a succinct yet thorough introduction to your research topic, emphasizing its importance and the objectives, ensuring that both the audience and the External Examiner can understand the scope of your study.

Prior to your defense, be thoroughly acquainted with your research abstract and the critical elements of Chapter One, including motivation for embarking on this research, problem statement, objectives, and significance. In Chapter Two, be ready to cite at least two references from the literature review. For Chapter Three, you should be equipped to discuss the methodologies, tools, and techniques utilized. In Chapter Four, defend your research by justifying the findings and linking them to your research objectives.

Conclude your defense by succinctly summarizing the study and offering insightful, evidence-based recommendations. A professional dress code, such as wearing a suit and tie, is vital to create a favorable impression and elevate your presentation.

During the question and answer segment, the External Examiner may pose questions pertaining to your research. If confronted with a challenging or irrelevant question, respond diplomatically with, “Sorry, Sir/Madam, the question asked is beyond the scope of my study.” Whenever possible, direct your answers back to your research findings to reinforce your expertise.
