- ItemAnalysis of Linguistic Features in Graffitis of the Kwara State University Students(Federal University Lokoja Press, 2018) Abiodun JombadiThe work studied the thematic concerns of graffiti sourced from the campus of Kwara State University in Malete. The data were analysed within the framework offered by Fairclough's post-structuralist model of Discourse Analysis. The data, which were qualitatively analysed, were randomly drawn from messages on walls, classrooms, corridors, toilets, and hostels of the University. Data were qualitatively analysed. Findings revealed eleven major thematic concerns of these graffiti, namely, personal history, politics, imperative actions, business, requests, personal feelings, love and relationship, personal philosophy, personal reflection, sports, personal judgement and sentiment. Graffiti communicative strategies were identified as coinage, alphabetism, metaphor, pun, slang, code-mixing and pidgin. All these subsumed under three major categories as morphological devices, rhetorical devices and sociolinguistic devices. The paper concluded that the present study is vital in understanding how graffiti culture is expressed within the Kwara State University's domain.
