摘要：Achehe's A Man of the People' as a product of post -colonial literature shows an interaction between imperial culture and the native cultural practices especially, in terms of language. The limitation andfailure of standard English to express local experiences i.e. indigenous metaphor is shown. The emergence of new English as a result of the reconstruction and expansion of the standard English is thus encouraged. It is resulted in the use of four different modes in the novel standard English narration, standard English dialogue, pidgin English and native language which reflects different attitudes implied by the speakers.
