dc.description.abstractThe Language of the Military in Parade is usually forceful no doubt. However, this study investigates the aspect of ideology vis-à-vis dominance in the language. The study uses the framework of Critical Discourse Analysis henceforth CDA.The researcher is of the opinion that the language of the military in parade is laced with ideological prejudices of the Military institution and asymmetric power relation of the institution. The data collected for the study have been extracted from a purposive video record of 2016 passing out Parade of the Nigerian Military School; Zaria which was obtained in a CD from the archive of the school. Using Fairclaugh 1989 three-dimensional model of CDA analysis as a framework, the data was analyzed based on the following grammatical Units: Morpheme, Word/Jargon, Phrase and clause/sentence. The researcher finds out that, certain linguistic tools are employed to entrench the ideological prejudices and asymmetric power relation in the Military institution. The study concludes that Military parade discourse is a verbal or rather a linguistic representation of the Military ideology, values, culture, tradition and dominance. Thus, in every instance of language use in the Military parade, there exist elements of ideology vis-à-vis dominance.en_US
