dc.description.abstractUntil recent time, stylistics, literary and textlinguistic theories have been the major tools employed in analyzing Yorùbá written poetry. However, this study explored and exploited a Socio-semiotic approach towards the analysis of Yorùbá written poetry. Socio-semiotics, which was introduced by the linguistic theorist, Michael Halliday (1978), examines semiotic practices, specific to a culture and community, for the making of various kinds of texts and meanings in various situational contexts and contexts of culturally meaningful activity. In an attempt to introduce this theoretical framework, effort was made to examine the concept of socio-semiotics and its components. Also, a socio-semiotic model was proposed for the analysis of Yorùbá written poetry. In our model, the text, context of situation, context of culture and meaning potential were well emphasized as evident in our sampled data.en_US
