RE: USA Africa Dialogue Series - Call For Assitance On My Final Essay On Mwalimu Toyin Falola

'I will seek to delineate and analyze the linguistic Deixis, Implicatures, Presuppositions, and Speech Acts in the oriki.'

... sounds pretty esoteric to me but them I am only a historian.

Call for Assistance on My Final Essay on Mwalimu Toyin Falola

Good Greetings USA-Africa Dialogue Family Members:

I pray that your semester is going very well. I also pray to Allah/God (SWT) to bless abundantly the many wonderful USA-Africa Dialogue Family Members who have been very generous in providing me with their assistance in writing two essays on Mwalimu Toyin Falola's work: (1) "Fractal Complexity in Mwalimu Toyin Falola's A Mouth Sweeter then Salt: A Pluridisciplinary Exploration of Cultural Power" and (2) "Religious Tolerance in Mwalimu Toyin Falola's Work: Intercultural Philosophical Correspondences in the Classic Allegory of The Parable of the Three Rings."

I now come to the Family Members to ask for assistance for my final essay on Mwalimu Falola's work, at least for now. The essay is tentatively titled "A Pragmatic Linguistic Analysis of Mwalimu Falola's Oriki (praise name) Ishola." I have copied the oriki below. In this lengthy essay I will seek to delineate and analyze the linguistic Deixis, Implicatures, Presuppositions, and Speech Acts in the oriki.

I am therefore calling upon our Yoruba Linguists Family Members to help me with a few deep structure aspects of the oriki. If you can help, please send me a private E-mail to theai@earthlink.net<mailto:theai@earthlink.net>. Thanks a heap in advance for your good help.

In Peace Always,
Abdul Karim Bangura/.

Isola, the scion of Agbo
He who dreams daily of wealth
He who thinks daily of the good things of life
Isola, the scion of Agbo
Isola, spring to your feet

The guinea fowl flies up as free as the air
The woodpecker taps the tree with a rattling sound
Isola, heights never make the monkey lose his breath
Isola, the scion of Agbo (Falola, 2005:163-164).
