Item La Psicodinámica De La Estilística Periodística: Estudio De Caso De Las Camapañas Electorales De España, 2011(University Of Ghana, 2017-06) Ababio, F.Stylistics as a linguistic science has evolved significantly since the Romantic era. The schools of thought with their ideological perspectives of the phenomenon have shifted the scope from written literary works to include newspapers in particular for their popularity. However, much of the works in this field has been limited to identifying the stylistic features and making grammatical analysis of them. One of the areas that have been given little attention is the psychological underpinning of newspaper style and pragmatics in relation to the various linguistics phenomena. Consequently, this study intends to delve into the psychological and psycholinguistic and pragmatic parameters of the phenomenon of Spanish newspaper El Pais during the presidential campaign of 2011 within the socio-cultural context of journalistic style. The objective is also to understand how newspaper style functions within the framework of the art of communication based on the suspicion of the presence of certain distinctive peculiarities and dianoetic intangibles hitherto unknown. The study also envisages among other things to undertake analysis of the linguistic psychodynamics which come into play in newspaper language in the light of the theories of language. This study first of all is of significant importance for the study of style as a linguistic science and secondly intends to advance knowledge in the area of communication, cognition and language as a dynamic and socio-cultural phenomenon.Item Las Religiones, Ritmos y Lengua Africanos en la Cubania: Explorando la Estetica Creative de Nicolas Guillen(University of Ghana, 2013-06) Okai, A.A.; Boampong, J.; Lamptey, V.A.O.In this study, cubanía is to be understood from the focus of Cuba‘s cultural and human identities. From this perspective, the emphasis is laid on the black, his cultural contribution to cubanía as well as the historical context (that is to say, his days of slavery, colonialism and imperialism) that have moulded his human identity. In other words, the black becomes the nucleus in defining the essence of being Cuban. And for the purposes of this study, African religion, rhythm and language are discussed to buttress the point that a definition of cubanía is incomplete without the due recognition and integration of the contribution of its black community. Consequently, Guillén as a poet will begin to bring the Cubans into a collective awareness of their full identity by calling attention unto the religion, rhythm and language of the African community that have shaped Cuba‘s identity. Guillén employs poetry as a tool to bring about a revolutionary change that will jolt the Cubans to recognize themselves as people bound by a common historic past but with a possible future without any forms of prejudices and discrimination.
