ABSTRACT
This study delves into linguistic errors within Nigerian politicians’ speeches, aiming to identify error types, their causes, and common linguistic patterns among politicians. Employing qualitative research methods, speech content is extracted from video recordings of political events. Nigeria’s cultural diversity, with over 250 ethnic groups and 500 languages, plays a significant role in shaping language and politics. The Phono-Discourse Model, introduced by Dell and O’Seaghdha in 1992, is employed to analyze these errors comprehensively. It provides a versatile framework for understanding speech production and error correction mechanisms in the context of political speeches.
