An Analytical and Descriptive linguistic study on pragmatic interpretation of selected political utterances on hate speech in Kenya

Abstract

This study is motivated by the raging debate between the speaker and the hearer of political

utterances on mutually acceptable interpretations of meaning in political utterances on hate

speech in Kenya. This debate between the speaker and hearer of political utterances on hate

speech reflects a variance on interpretation of meaning in political utterances on hate speech.

This study sheds light on this variance by offering a pragmatic interpretation of political

utterances on hate speech in Kenya.
