Abstract
This study investigates the socio-semantic features of English usage in selected Nigerian newspapers, addressing a gap in comprehensive research on this topic. Examining the relationship between English language use and the dynamics of Nigerian society, the study employs content analysis to analyze a corpus of newspaper articles. It identifies various socio-semantic features, including lexical, grammatical, and discourse elements, prevalent in English language usage. These features significantly impact public perception, cultural representation, and social dynamics, influencing information conveyance in Nigerian society. The findings underscore the crucial role of English language use in shaping public discourse and societal attitudes. The study recommends further research to explore the evolving landscape of English language use in Nigerian newspapers, especially in the context of digital media and emerging linguistic and cultural trends. In conclusion, the socio-semantic features employed by newspapers reflect and reinforce the multifaceted nature of Nigerian society, emphasizing the need for ongoing exploration and understanding of language dynamics in this context....
