The research problem addressed concerns about the effectiveness of communication on the notice board in conveying intended messages to students. The aims and objectives include categorizing notice types, examining pragmatic and semantic aspects, and assessing overall effectiveness. The research employs a qualitative case study design, analyzing six selected notices through pragmatic-semantic lenses. Methods involve systematic data collection from the NSUK Notice Board, transcription of notices, and subsequent analysis of pragmatic markers, illocutionary acts, speech acts, and semantic features. Results indicate three main notice types: notices, announcements, and posters, each exhibiting clarity, conciseness, and strategic use of semantic elements. The study concludes that NSUK notices effectively communicate with students, attributing success to language precision and semantic richness. Recommendations include maintaining language clarity, incorporating visual elements, ensuring notice board accessibility, diversifying notice types, and conducting regular content reviews. Implementation of these recommendations is expected to enhance communication effectiveness within the NSUK environs. ...Preview Download Preview +Other English project topics and materials you might be interested in»Factors affecting the choice of language in a multilingual society»Stylistic analysis of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s half of a yellow sun»Corruption and victimization in isidore okpewhotides and anthony abaghas children of oloibiri»Political corruption and symbolism in Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi’s half of a yellow sun and Okey Ndibe’s arrows of rain»The society and the girl child in the bluest eye by Toni Morrison and Kaine Agary's yellow yellow»A stylistic analysis of selected short stories in jasper Onuekwusi's the triumphant return and Chimamanda Adichie's - A Thing Around Your Neck»Struggle and survival in a cowrie of hope by Binwell Sinyangwe and the Cardinals by Bessie Head»The language of the Christian religion: A comparative study of roman catholic church and some selected pentecostal denominations»The post colonial experiences in warsan shire’s selected poems - ‘what we own’, ‘conversation about home (at the deportation centre)’ and ‘beauty’»The effect of the Nigerian Pidgin English on the academic performance of university students in Nigeria - a case study of National Open University of Nigeria students in Benin study centre»The misuse of the English articles in selected Nigerian newspapers»Linguistic stylistic analysis of Toni Morrison Sula»Feminism in African novels - a study of Amma Sarkos beyond the horizon and faceless»Analysis of political corruption and underdevelopment in harvest of corruption by Frank Ogodo Ogbeche and naira has no gender by Olu Obafemi»Thematic analysis of Besie Head's When Rain Clouds Gather
