Abstract

The article deals with the features of linguistic and cultural picture of the world representation on the example of Nigerian screenplays. The authors of the research analyze the features of the Nigerian cinematographic art which is the reflection of the Nigeria national picture of the world, that is subject to the dominant influence of the British English language influence. In the course of the work, the key characteristics of the screenplays of Nigeria are revealed, viz. the influence of the phenomenon called creolization which is the forced adaptation process of the British English language to the norms of the Nigerian autochthonous languages and cultures. The key characteristics of the Nigerian screenplays grammatical structures are due to the interference processes of autochthonous Nigerian languages Hausa, Yoruba, Igbo with English.
