that came its way‚ and decades after‚ they are still as pungent. These influences: what are they; why are they conspicuous; why are still influencing? These are the issues that one must treat to evaluate the configuration of contemporary Nigerian dramaturgy; and this more than anything else is what forms the basis for this discourse.

In my investigation I will be studying the use of language during the live general election debates in 2010. The election was the first of its kind seen in the UK whereby all parties would take part in three live TV debates across three different broadcasters‚ Sky News‚ ITV and BBC. All questions asked were not disclosed to the leaders before the debate and of course‚ the stakes could not be higher‚ with a potential prime ministerial role on the line.

some friends last Saturday. I found that my self-presentation in those situations was altered almost completely.
