Papers are invited for publication in Language, Literature and Style in 
Africa, a book that honours Professor Christopher Olatunji Awonuga 
and his work in the fields of Linguistic/ Literary Stylistics and Applied 
Linguistics. Currently Dean of the School of Postgraduate Studies at 
Covenant University, Ota, Ogun State, Nigeria, Professor Awonuga is a 
well-known scholar who has been an excellent teacher and mentor to 
several academics. His greatest asset, in our view, lies in the care with 
which he nurtured many of his students through the rigours of their 
doctoral and masters theses, a factor largely responsible for his 
appointment to the Deanship of the Postgraduate School at Covenant 
University. 

This book project is an opportunity not only to celebrate Professor 
Christopher Awonuga, but also to highlight and bring together the 
seminal contributions of those scholars who are interested in research 
on language, literature and style in Africa. The accent on Africa is 
motivated, as discussions relating to the primary literary artefacts 
(poetry, prose and drama) produced on the continent hardly feature in 
the discussions in this field. 

In view of the foregoing, contributors are invited to submit papers that 
generally address the relationships between language, literature and 
style in Africa. In particular, papers relating to all areas of stylistics, 
theoretical and methodological, are welcome, as are those from fields 
such as applied linguistics, conversational analysis and (critical) 
discourse analysis that are closely related to the discussions on 
language and literature. In addition, contributions that deal with the 
traditional genres of language and literature (poetry, prose and drama) 
as well as those of the media, advertising and music are welcome. 
Papers on canonical written and oral texts, and emerging prominent 
African voices are especially welcome.
