Title

FEMALE NONVERBAL COMMUNICATION IN SELECTED IGBO DRAMA

Abstract

This work is on “Female nonverbal communication in some selected Igbo drama” The society consists of male and female making them exist side by side and communicate together. This makes it impossible discussing the females in isolation of the males. Males and females characters during communication exhibit idiosyncrasies in language that show differences in gender both verbally and nonverbally. The aim of this work therefore is to investigate the females’ nonverbal communication against that of the males in the society with a culture that prioritizes the roles and communication of males against those of the females. Females most often communicate nonverbally to portray their protest and exonerate themselves from humiliation from the males. The work adopts survey design and, purposive sampling technique was used to collect data. A total of four Igbo plays were selected from three playwrights, two plays from a female playwright and two plays, one each from a male playwright. It is discovered that in the Igbo patriarchal society, females most often communicate nonverbally to free themselves from male humiliation, subjugation and also to actualize self. The study suggests that males should see their female counterparts as normal human beings and stop suppressing and relegating them to the background thereby necessitating their use of nonverbal communication to show their protest.
