Man's discernments or perspectives about the truth are molded and formed by the language in which they are communicated. In this way, our insight into ethical quality is communicated in the language we use. This paper looks at the interrelatedness of language and ethical quality utilizing the lattice of Gabriel Okara's’The Voice’. It investigates the connection among language and ethical quality, and how they highlight in the genuine situation. It uses the technique for literary examination and hermeneutic phenomenology in doing the exploration. It presumes that language and profound quality are indivisibly bound together. It suggests a reappraisal of Okara's origination of language and profound quality inside the structure of African morals. Past linguistic examinations on Gabriel Okara's’The Voice’ have focused on the trial procedure of literal interpretation which the creator embraced in the message, in light of the waiting issue of language in African writing. Such investigations definitely stand out to talk highlights utilized by the creator, which are basic to the portrayal of the language of the text. With Halliday's foundational practical sentence structure, inside the expansive talk elaborate hypothetical system, as the scientific model, this review, consequently, looks at the message as friendly talk, zeroing in on paradigmatic and syntagmatic relations like synonymy, antonymy, hyponymy and collocation, separately, which help the creator not exclusively to convey meaning, yet additionally to accomplish union and rationality in the message. The review upgrades the comprehension and understanding of the language of Gabriel Okara's text specifically and literary discourse in general.
