Osundare the poet reads about sexual issues which inevitably employ those lexical items socially regarded as repugnant. His poetry and the accompanying linguistic choices are however controlled, indicating that he is conscious of the limits imposed on him by the Nigerian social conventions. One such control is the attempt to conform to the Yoruba convention which allows users of the language to mention sex organs only of animals or in allegory with material things. This is not a completely effective ...

One of the theories that seek to unravel how the human language functions is the Systemic Functional Grammar (SFG). SFG achieves its uniqueness by seeking to develop a theory about language as a social process and an analytical methodology for detailed and systematic description of language patterns (Eggins, 2004). Given its suitability for the analysis of any text, SFG was used in this study for the analysis of the poem “My Lord, Tell Me Where to Keep Your Bribe”. Though SFG shows how three different ...
