THEMETIC CONCERNS AND LINGUISTIC STRATEGIES: POST COLONIAL SUBVERSIONS OF VERBAL HUMOUR IN AIDOO

Abstract

The creation of post-colonial literature is one way in which the
post-colonial Mind looks back upon itself. In both literature and
politics the postcolonial drive towards identity centers around
language. For the postcolonial to speak or write in the imperial
tongues is to call forth a problem of identity, to be thrown in
mimickery and ambivalenc.Consequently the postcolonial view of
language is diachronic, pluralistic and dynamic.
