Abstract
This
paper will attempt a study of how symbolism portrays some in-animate objects
featured in the verbal arts used in the Yorùbá indigenous healthcare
practices. We shall attempt to show how
symbolism is related to in-animate characters in the indigenous healthcare
practices. We shall analyse the
texts under study at the metaphorical level taking their socio-cultural
contexts into consideration. The
psychological dimension on the users of health-related genres will also be
investigated. Various scholars have used Symbolism as a critical concept and
tool in their analysis of literary works.
Keywords: Symbolism, Genres, Health-related,
metaphorical level, meta-symbolism, meto-symbolism.
