IKISIRI Matini yoyote ya fasihi huhitaji kusomwa na kueleweka ili ipate kuwa na maana. Hata hivyo, maana ya matini hujitokeza ikiwa msomaji ataelewa mtindo uliotumika kuisuka. Japo huu ndio ukweli, mapitio tangulizi ya maandishi yameonyesha kuwa kuna tafiti chache zilizofanywa kwa kina katika kubainisha mtindo katika fasihi kama kipengele muhimu na kinachojisimamia kufafanua maana na hasa katika tamthilia za Arege. Hivyo basi utafiti huu umehakiki mtindo uliotumika katika tamthilia tatu za Ar...

Dholuo panegyrics are full of indeterminacies such as ambiguities, metaphors, ironies and implicatures that are difficult to interpret as understanding them is contextually determined because of the use of figurative language.
