Abstract

The goal of this study is to apply one of the three meanings developed by Halliday, the grammar of exchange (Mood Patterns) from male-female Tenor in Akachi Adimora Ezeigbo‟s The Last of the Strong Ones [1]. It aims at describing social relationship, interaction between human beings, society and culture. Linguistics being the scientific study of language, two extracts have been selected for the study, to which qualitative and quantitative analyses have been adopted. In this study, a typical emphasis is put on tenor variable through interpersonal meaning so as to scrutinize women abuse in the novel. The study reveals the aspects of feminist ideology, women ill-treatment, women humiliation and women abuse. It can also be noticed the phenomena of dominance, tension, aggression, lower affection, corruption and embezzlement.
