Abstract

This research discusses the analysis of the concept of speech among some ethnic groups in West Africa. In fact, in West Africa, the art of speaking is brought to a high degree of perfection.  According to those ethnic groups discussed in this paper, the speech possesses a mystical, talismanic power, which means that it has the power to protect and change the course of events. The Nommo's conception of life can illustrate this idea in that they consider that life itself lies on speech without which it can never exist. Also, they consider that there is a close relationship between speech and the speaker. However, speaking is more than just lining up words to be understood by the interlocutor, the audience. It is considered an art that must respect certain rules relating to the place, the time and the person speaking. In this sense, the researcher, in this paper, tries to analyze the concept of speech in these ethnic groups of West Africa. The research uses secondary data as the method, otherwise called “literature review”. In other words, the researcher proceeded to collect the data related to the paper's topic by downloading them and then proceeded to the analyzes and comments.

Abstract

No matter what the different cultural backgrounds are, they will always collide and generate divergence on the same point of intersection and then continue moving forward in the direction of collective cognition. At present, the global world is facing severe pestilence disasters; China Art Circle made many responses immediately at the beginning of the epidemic situation and tried to fight the epidemic situation, encourage the front-line medical staff and provide energy for them. However, when the epidemic situation in China trends to calm, the art theme about the epidemic situation also suddenly keeps silent. It looks like calm without great waves; however, through investigating Western art, it is found that the Western Art Circle has different orientations on the attitude to disasters; considering its inner core, it maps the further understanding of groups with different cultural backgrounds on the cognition of other shores of life- different life and death idea influence the social outlook, view of life and expectation of life fate of different groups. Meanwhile, they also promote the society to show different introspection paths while facing disasters. The study uses empirical analysis to identify and collect the image information from classical paintings of the East and the West. The results show that compared with Western art, Chinese art conveys a message that focuses more on maintaining the country's stability.
