Ahyu: A Journal of Language and Literature (online ISSN 2814-2446) is a biannual open access peer reviewed academic journal of the Department of English and Literary Studies, Federal University, Wukari, Nigeria that publishes in December every year. Deriving its name from the Jukun word for trumpet, Ahyu is a peer-reviewed journal that provides a platform for academics to present their most current findings from researches undertaken in language and literature. By language, we mean all verbal and nonverbal modes with which histo-cultural formations and spaces are apprehended. This includes particularly those media pivotal in constituting and interpreting contemporary African reality and existence. In addition, by literature, we mean language used at a second remove to enunciate literary forms across different modes and media. Thus, Ahyu welcomes researches dwelling on, but not limited to, film studies, narrative studies, theatre studies, performance studies, literary studies, linguistics, rhetorics, and dance.
