dc.description.abstractThis work is a textual analysis thataims at comparing language use and examines the extent to which the lexico-semantic features used by Ken Saro-Wiwa inPita Dumbrok‟s Prison and Helon Habila inOil on WATER reveal the specific meanings in the selected texts.It alsoinvolves the analysis of language structure, clauses and sentences used in the texts by the authors for the realisation of meaning. As its primary source, the work extract its data from the two texts. The secondary sources of data are textbooks, online resources, articles and journals. The application of the Systemic Functional Linguistic as a theoretical framework of this study clearly illustrates the appropriateness of language use in different situations and contexts. The results of this work show how the linguistic features have helped the writers to achieve particular effects or to express particular themes.The work concludes that, although the texts (Pita Dumbrok‟s Prison and Oil on WATER) are concerned with a similar theme, they differ in terms of their communicative aims and primary audiences which affects the language use of the authors in their respective novels.en_US
