    Vol. 2 No. 2 (2020)

    The papers in this special edition could be described as providing a pan-Nigerian

    analysis, pragmatics and applied linguistics. When these other perspectives more
    fully emerge, some of the limitations and challenges of reference materials on the
    subject matter will be reasonably surmounted and a more rounded understanding of
    the contagion will evolve.
