Abstract:

 A discourse is a body of text meant to communicate specific data, information and knowledge, there exist internal relations in the content of a given discourse; likewise, there exist external relations among discourses. As such, a discourse does not exist in itself, but is related to other discourses, by way of inter-discursivity; therefore, in the course of intellectual enquiry, the discourse among researchers features the questions and answers of what is............? And what is not ............., conducted according to the meanings (denotation and connotation) of the concepts (statements) used in the given field of enquiry, such as anthropology, ethnography and sociology, cultural studies and literary theory. The paper seeks, to identify the elements of discourse analysis in the exemplifying text NAIRA HAS NO GENDER, and how it has help to enhanced dramatic effects and meaning perceptions in the text through the use of discourse elements which bring out the beauty of literary or written discourse. The study reveals that discourse analysis plays an important role in decoding meaning of language. This discourse is rightly expressed through context, participants and speech act theory.
