English Language Final Year Topic: Lexical Innovation in Nigerian English Technology Advertising

This English Language final year project investigates how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products, drawing on publicly displayed English technology advertisements collected over a fixed period. The analysis focuses on language in its communicative context.

Why choose this project topic?

An examination of how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products produces a manageable language question with observable evidence. It lets you connect English-language concepts to particular communicative choices instead of making unsupported judgments about speakers.

What patterns emerge in how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products within publicly displayed English technology advertisements collected over a fixed period?

Choose the corpus size, sampling period and annotation framework for how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products; confirm access before fixing the title.

Proposed project objectives

  1. 01Identify the linguistic forms involved in how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products.
  2. 02Compile a documented and ethically accessible dataset from publicly displayed English technology advertisements collected over a fixed period.
  3. 03Classify word-formation processes and examine surrounding explanation, imagery and audience assumptions.

A suggested research approach

Agree access and selection criteria for publicly displayed English technology advertisements collected over a fixed period. Classify word-formation processes and examine surrounding explanation, imagery and audience assumptions. Pilot the annotation scheme, retain examples that challenge initial categories and report disagreements. Obtain institutional approval and informed consent before collecting participant data.

What you will need

  • Permitted access to publicly displayed English technology advertisements collected over a fixed period
  • An annotation guide covering how advertisements create or adapt English words for technology products
  • A secure anonymisation procedure and any required ethics approval

Keep your project scope clear

A coined advertising expression is not automatically established usage in Nigerian English.
