Writers make efforts as the conscience of humanity, to speak to the different human experiences that dawned on the world. In the face of horrifying histories and current international upheavals, some writers call for reconciliation and universal harmony. This paper explores how two contemporary Ghanaian poets try to advocate global coexistence in their works as well as suggest processes of healing and reconciliation worldwide. This study is carried out to add to the corpus of work on universal harmony, especially from the African/Ghanaian writing/cultural worldview.

The research question that followed was; which is the best predictor of Cloud computing usage given a set of determinants? The study involved 116 respondents using simple random sampling. The results revealed that performance expectancy was the strongest predictor of the intention to adopt Cloud computing when compared to other constructs. There was a strong positive correlation of r = +0.989 between 'the use of Internet for learning purposes in enhancing the effectiveness of learning' and 'being taught in their studies through Internet devices'. These findings suggest that Cloud computing adoption and application may be enhanced through educating teachers and learners on the potential benefits of this mode of communication in improving the accessibility and dissemination of scholarly content.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2014,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":91117361},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86730935/The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_Ghanaian_Senior_High_School_English_Language_Core_Textbooks","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-16T00:26:44.840-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":57729682,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91117361,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117361/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117361/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117361/IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D-libre.pdf?1663314644=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=XytrYeeFZxGTMVzFFvk5JvDW4YKWESzNGAsi-b8~-~yHyg0ygIfjjzmf4q-0VsbADHnza4lVWq7FXsS8vpAmWUoDoRl8PPZNAaX3CjviJfulTu5PGaaZVqv8u~YlxiEH8ay9wBL1esHIQN5jmJvLfDzp7o8u~S9CKeTvTHi3juIoLFZVnKtp4yyFhEtfIqZrLoZxxj~PzkQxExEBlAs9aLHA6-lFG6M1d2uupEduFyXRqVPl8q-d9WfdnivrDo1QH7RFUvEnTRWsRNs~5-RJ~UrkxNOWBip6PI7kRutitmiZAp9tXX9IdMOVzQ5omBvbSpdBtmDeVE0D~Ge-98kz6g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_Ghanaian_Senior_High_School_English_Language_Core_Textbooks","translated_slug":"","page_count":8,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":57729682,"first_name":"David","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Odoi","page_name":"DavidOdoi","domain_name":"ug-gh","created_at":"2016-12-06T11:02:30.250-08:00","display_name":"David Odoi","url":"https://ug-gh.academia.edu/DavidOdoi"},"attachments":[{"id":91117361,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117361/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117361/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117361/IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D-libre.pdf?1663314644=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=XytrYeeFZxGTMVzFFvk5JvDW4YKWESzNGAsi-b8~-~yHyg0ygIfjjzmf4q-0VsbADHnza4lVWq7FXsS8vpAmWUoDoRl8PPZNAaX3CjviJfulTu5PGaaZVqv8u~YlxiEH8ay9wBL1esHIQN5jmJvLfDzp7o8u~S9CKeTvTHi3juIoLFZVnKtp4yyFhEtfIqZrLoZxxj~PzkQxExEBlAs9aLHA6-lFG6M1d2uupEduFyXRqVPl8q-d9WfdnivrDo1QH7RFUvEnTRWsRNs~5-RJ~UrkxNOWBip6PI7kRutitmiZAp9tXX9IdMOVzQ5omBvbSpdBtmDeVE0D~Ge-98kz6g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1236,"name":"Art","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Art"},{"id":2731,"name":"Mathematics Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematics_Education"},{"id":3581,"name":"Poetry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poetry"},{"id":5473,"name":"Embedded Systems","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Embedded_Systems"},{"id":54727,"name":"Educational Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Educational_Sciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Questionable arguments have been advanced to justify the official neglect of indigenous African languages in education, but the reality is that such arguments are no longer valid. Efforts by some African governments to remedy the situation have been mediocre at best. For instance, South Africa has 11 official languages but English and Afrikaans remain the de facto mediums of instruction in schools. No significant efforts are being made to develop and encourage the use of indigenous African languages in schools. In addition, Departments of African languages are being scaled down in South African universities, and the colleges of Education which were at the forefront of teaching these languages have been closed down. This paper attempts to look at the challenges and prospects of making the concept of 11 official languages a reality in South Africa classrooms.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2013,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Studies of Tribes and Tribals","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":91117360},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86730934/Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Indigenous_African_Languages_in_South_African_Schools","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-16T00:26:44.556-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":57729682,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91117360,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117360/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117360/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117360/S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt-libre.pdf?1663314645=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DArguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=cziyWXhLaqoJdS~3fcJEvG3eyF6CrHHxwIBk6c5sMXc2jWwSGwadXwtHccJrEw2hDXjvdhhmpQeaMYfYrpjHFZA1YForcuz2WLM~v5ufMH7lpCiCzVET2zdj5sJo3Zkw7TZyo4-PkjR2jky90bLqgFZ5r3QKl4eMhGR1RpbC7FZHApGPYOMZ8-aaKVqcsWnpgmCac40px-IeEhWiM-oezTOiCo60SQ9kLVpPySdc0s3CEABHXqlIlNSYF01ZyeLqNEyx-q~Zi2JvSE-SWz7~0epO9yZKJmSHnts-gQRo0NBC12CrUNm~z-1XUD0~ZNtOCqHh5Vcr83fOkG1qZ5zccg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Indigenous_African_Languages_in_South_African_Schools","translated_slug":"","page_count":4,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":57729682,"first_name":"David","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Odoi","page_name":"DavidOdoi","domain_name":"ug-gh","created_at":"2016-12-06T11:02:30.250-08:00","display_name":"David Odoi","url":"https://ug-gh.academia.edu/DavidOdoi"},"attachments":[{"id":91117360,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117360/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117360/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117360/S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt-libre.pdf?1663314645=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DArguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=cziyWXhLaqoJdS~3fcJEvG3eyF6CrHHxwIBk6c5sMXc2jWwSGwadXwtHccJrEw2hDXjvdhhmpQeaMYfYrpjHFZA1YForcuz2WLM~v5ufMH7lpCiCzVET2zdj5sJo3Zkw7TZyo4-PkjR2jky90bLqgFZ5r3QKl4eMhGR1RpbC7FZHApGPYOMZ8-aaKVqcsWnpgmCac40px-IeEhWiM-oezTOiCo60SQ9kLVpPySdc0s3CEABHXqlIlNSYF01ZyeLqNEyx-q~Zi2JvSE-SWz7~0epO9yZKJmSHnts-gQRo0NBC12CrUNm~z-1XUD0~ZNtOCqHh5Vcr83fOkG1qZ5zccg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":1218440,"name":"Indigenous","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Indigenous"}],"urls":[{"id":23891636,"url":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/0972639X.2013.11886662"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86730855"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/86730855/Application_of_the_Genettean_Theory_of_the_Narrative_Discourse_on_Three_West_African_Autobiographies"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Application of the Genettean Theory of the Narrative Discourse on Three West African Autobiographies" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117273/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/86730855/Application_of_the_Genettean_Theory_of_the_Narrative_Discourse_on_Three_West_African_Autobiographies">Application of the Genettean Theory of the Narrative Discourse on Three West African Autobiographies</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This paper focuses on West African autobiographies classified by Odoi (2010).

This is the question we attempt to answer in this paper. We undertake this task because there are evidences that African writing contains lots of translations and these bilingual/hybrid texts are very often discussed from a more political/ideological/birds-eye perspective. Since translation is a linguistic phenomenon, it is necessary that they are analyzed using linguistic approaches. We analyzed the translation of proverbs from the source language (Ewe) into the target language (English) in Mawuli Adzei's novel Taboo.

In Frank Norris’ McTeague, some characters degenerate to the level of the animal, displaying brutality and striving like predators for survival. This study sought to investigate the animal metaphor as an image pattern in McTeague. The study used textual analysis as a design to analyse, interpret and evaluate McTeague. The study concluded that Joseph Le Conte’s theory of Evolution and Cesare Lombroso’s theory of criminology influenced the writing of McTeague. Thus, there is extensive use of the animal metaphor as an image pattern through the characters in the novel: McTeague, Trina, Marcus and Zerkow.

The research question that followed was; which is the best predictor of Cloud computing usage given a set of determinants? The study involved 116 respondents using simple random sampling. The results revealed that performance expectancy was the strongest predictor of the intention to adopt Cloud computing when compared to other constructs. There was a strong positive correlation of r = +0.989 between 'the use of Internet for learning purposes in enhancing the effectiveness of learning' and 'being taught in their studies through Internet devices'. These findings suggest that Cloud computing adoption and application may be enhanced through educating teachers and learners on the potential benefits of this mode of communication in improving the accessibility and dissemination of scholarly content.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2014,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF EDUCATIONAL SCIENCES","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":91117361},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86730935/The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_Ghanaian_Senior_High_School_English_Language_Core_Textbooks","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-16T00:26:44.840-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":57729682,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91117361,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117361/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117361/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117361/IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D-libre.pdf?1663314644=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=XytrYeeFZxGTMVzFFvk5JvDW4YKWESzNGAsi-b8~-~yHyg0ygIfjjzmf4q-0VsbADHnza4lVWq7FXsS8vpAmWUoDoRl8PPZNAaX3CjviJfulTu5PGaaZVqv8u~YlxiEH8ay9wBL1esHIQN5jmJvLfDzp7o8u~S9CKeTvTHi3juIoLFZVnKtp4yyFhEtfIqZrLoZxxj~PzkQxExEBlAs9aLHA6-lFG6M1d2uupEduFyXRqVPl8q-d9WfdnivrDo1QH7RFUvEnTRWsRNs~5-RJ~UrkxNOWBip6PI7kRutitmiZAp9tXX9IdMOVzQ5omBvbSpdBtmDeVE0D~Ge-98kz6g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_Ghanaian_Senior_High_School_English_Language_Core_Textbooks","translated_slug":"","page_count":8,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":57729682,"first_name":"David","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Odoi","page_name":"DavidOdoi","domain_name":"ug-gh","created_at":"2016-12-06T11:02:30.250-08:00","display_name":"David Odoi","url":"https://ug-gh.academia.edu/DavidOdoi"},"attachments":[{"id":91117361,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117361/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117361/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117361/IJES-7-1-001-14-428-Bayaga-A-Tx_5B1_5D-libre.pdf?1663314644=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Construction_of_Poetry_Teaching_in_G.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=XytrYeeFZxGTMVzFFvk5JvDW4YKWESzNGAsi-b8~-~yHyg0ygIfjjzmf4q-0VsbADHnza4lVWq7FXsS8vpAmWUoDoRl8PPZNAaX3CjviJfulTu5PGaaZVqv8u~YlxiEH8ay9wBL1esHIQN5jmJvLfDzp7o8u~S9CKeTvTHi3juIoLFZVnKtp4yyFhEtfIqZrLoZxxj~PzkQxExEBlAs9aLHA6-lFG6M1d2uupEduFyXRqVPl8q-d9WfdnivrDo1QH7RFUvEnTRWsRNs~5-RJ~UrkxNOWBip6PI7kRutitmiZAp9tXX9IdMOVzQ5omBvbSpdBtmDeVE0D~Ge-98kz6g__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":1236,"name":"Art","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Art"},{"id":2731,"name":"Mathematics Education","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Mathematics_Education"},{"id":3581,"name":"Poetry","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Poetry"},{"id":5473,"name":"Embedded Systems","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Embedded_Systems"},{"id":54727,"name":"Educational Sciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Educational_Sciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Questionable arguments have been advanced to justify the official neglect of indigenous African languages in education, but the reality is that such arguments are no longer valid. Efforts by some African governments to remedy the situation have been mediocre at best. For instance, South Africa has 11 official languages but English and Afrikaans remain the de facto mediums of instruction in schools. No significant efforts are being made to develop and encourage the use of indigenous African languages in schools. In addition, Departments of African languages are being scaled down in South African universities, and the colleges of Education which were at the forefront of teaching these languages have been closed down. This paper attempts to look at the challenges and prospects of making the concept of 11 official languages a reality in South Africa classrooms.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2013,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Studies of Tribes and Tribals","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":91117360},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/86730934/Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Indigenous_African_Languages_in_South_African_Schools","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2022-09-16T00:26:44.556-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":57729682,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":91117360,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117360/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117360/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117360/S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt-libre.pdf?1663314645=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DArguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=cziyWXhLaqoJdS~3fcJEvG3eyF6CrHHxwIBk6c5sMXc2jWwSGwadXwtHccJrEw2hDXjvdhhmpQeaMYfYrpjHFZA1YForcuz2WLM~v5ufMH7lpCiCzVET2zdj5sJo3Zkw7TZyo4-PkjR2jky90bLqgFZ5r3QKl4eMhGR1RpbC7FZHApGPYOMZ8-aaKVqcsWnpgmCac40px-IeEhWiM-oezTOiCo60SQ9kLVpPySdc0s3CEABHXqlIlNSYF01ZyeLqNEyx-q~Zi2JvSE-SWz7~0epO9yZKJmSHnts-gQRo0NBC12CrUNm~z-1XUD0~ZNtOCqHh5Vcr83fOkG1qZ5zccg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Indigenous_African_Languages_in_South_African_Schools","translated_slug":"","page_count":4,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":57729682,"first_name":"David","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Odoi","page_name":"DavidOdoi","domain_name":"ug-gh","created_at":"2016-12-06T11:02:30.250-08:00","display_name":"David Odoi","url":"https://ug-gh.academia.edu/DavidOdoi"},"attachments":[{"id":91117360,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117360/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/91117360/download_file?st=MTczMjcyNDgzMSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjcyNDgzMCw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"Arguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/91117360/S-T_T-11-1-035-13-300-Klu-E-K-Tt-libre.pdf?1663314645=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DArguments_For_and_Against_the_Use_of_Ind.pdf\u0026Expires=1732728430\u0026Signature=cziyWXhLaqoJdS~3fcJEvG3eyF6CrHHxwIBk6c5sMXc2jWwSGwadXwtHccJrEw2hDXjvdhhmpQeaMYfYrpjHFZA1YForcuz2WLM~v5ufMH7lpCiCzVET2zdj5sJo3Zkw7TZyo4-PkjR2jky90bLqgFZ5r3QKl4eMhGR1RpbC7FZHApGPYOMZ8-aaKVqcsWnpgmCac40px-IeEhWiM-oezTOiCo60SQ9kLVpPySdc0s3CEABHXqlIlNSYF01ZyeLqNEyx-q~Zi2JvSE-SWz7~0epO9yZKJmSHnts-gQRo0NBC12CrUNm~z-1XUD0~ZNtOCqHh5Vcr83fOkG1qZ5zccg__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":4486,"name":"Political Science","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Political_Science"},{"id":1218440,"name":"Indigenous","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Indigenous"}],"urls":[{"id":23891636,"url":"https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1080/0972639X.2013.11886662"}]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="86730855"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/86730855/Application_of_the_Genettean_Theory_of_the_Narrative_Discourse_on_Three_West_African_Autobiographies"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Application of the Genettean Theory of the Narrative Discourse on Three West African Autobiographies" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/91117273/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/86730855/Application_of_the_Genettean_Theory_of_the_Narrative_Discourse_on_Three_West_African_Autobiographies">Application of the Genettean Theory of the Narrative Discourse on Three West African Autobiographies</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">This paper focuses on West African autobiographies classified by Odoi (2010).

This is the question we attempt to answer in this paper. We undertake this task because there are evidences that African writing contains lots of translations and these bilingual/hybrid texts are very often discussed from a more political/ideological/birds-eye perspective. Since translation is a linguistic phenomenon, it is necessary that they are analyzed using linguistic approaches. We analyzed the translation of proverbs from the source language (Ewe) into the target language (English) in Mawuli Adzei's novel Taboo. We used the Vinay and Darbelnet's Model in translation theory for the study. Our findings show some linguistic features and the stylistic processes of translations evident in this novel.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2014,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Research on Humanities and Social Sciences","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":50750202},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/30288962/_We_re_On_Our_Ears_A_Linguistic_Analysis_of_Translation_in_an_African_Novel","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2016-12-06T11:02:52.642-08:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":57729682,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[{"id":26417645,"work_id":30288962,"tagging_user_id":57729682,"tagged_user_id":4265320,"co_author_invite_id":5824635,"email":"g***o@yahoo.co.uk","affiliation":"University of North Carolina Wilmington","display_order":0,"name":"G.
