Description

Essay from the year 2025 in the subject African Studies - Literature, , language: English, abstract: This study presents a stylistic analysis of Kofi Kinaata's song "Things Fall Apart". The analysis focuses on the linguistic features and stylistic devices used in the song's lyrics. The aim is to uncover how meaning is constructed. Drawing on theories of stylistics, the paper explores the use of collocation, repetition, metaphor, parallelism, and code-mixing. The study concludes that Kinaata employs these devices to critique religious hypocrisy and moral decline in Ghanaian society. His usage of these stylistics devices makes the song interesting and still aids him in developing thematic issues. His use of the Fante language, combined with English, enhances the cultural resonance and accessibility of his message
