Abstract:
Abstract: This study examines Nigerian children’s literature as a metaphorical construction and process for a better understanding of our world. Among the several reasons why authors write children’s literature are to entertain and to teach the children about their cultural, traditional, political and social history. Most authors, therefore, have moral reasons for embarking on the arduous task of writing for children. The entertainment and education of the child have been at the heart of children’s literature right from the eighteenth century. Thus, the education and inculcation of moral values are central to the writing and production of children’s literature. Besides, children’s literature appears to be an attempt to protect the innocence of the child from the vagaries of socio-moral decadence that pervade the adult mind and world. That, of course, was the eighteenth century romantic ideology that has found its way into contemporary literary production and expression. Working within the framework of Critical Metaphor Analysis (CMA) and Cognitive Semantics (CS), this study investigates the ideology behind the cognitive use of language and pictures (illustrations) in Olabisi Are’s Home of the Brave (HOB henceforth) and Akachi Adimora- Ezeigbo’s Fire from the Holy Mountain (FHM henceforth). Charteris-Black (2004, 2005) describes CMA as an approach to metaphors that aims to identify the intentions and ideologies underlying language use. The texts were purposively selected because they embody certain commonality in their ideological and aesthetic orientation. This study will focus on how the rhetoric of metaphorization enabled the writers to frame and express certain ideological positions about the Nigerian situation.
