A Comparison of the use of Language in Ifeoma Okoye’s Men without Ears and Ayi Kwei Armah’s the Beautyful ones are not yet Born

This paper compares the use of language by both writers -Okoye and Armah to portray the social ills prevalent in their societies: Nigeria and Ghana. A comparative study of this kind is a useful dynamic and heuristic tool capable of throwing valuable light on the characteristic features of the two works compared (Firbas cited in Johansson (9), as paraphrased by us)). As a matter of fact, the researchers, through this paper, have brought to limelight the beauty of the two works in terms of the language use by the writers, and this has added more value to both works literarily and academically.
