Abstract
M.A.
The aim of this study is to endeavour to analyse the language and style in M.T. Mmileng's novels. The study will focus on how the writer uses language to convey his thoughts, emotions and feelings communicable. The first chapter of this study takes the form of an introduction, providing the background, aims and the scope of the study. Chapter two develops the framework of stylistics which forms the foundation of our analysis. In chapter three an analysis of Mmileng's prose fiction will be undertaken. The choice of words, sentences and paragraphs will be analysed. Chapter four looks at how Mmileng has used imagery, proverbs and idioms in his texts. Chapter five looks back on what we have dealt with in the first four chapters and gives concluding statements.
