註釋This is the text of an inaugural lecture delivered by the Professor of Linguistics at the University of Ghana, Legon. He examines the cultural foundations of free speech, as well as the ripples of traditional speech and communication within contemporary society. His study is within the context of the modernisation of communication, and the attempt to supplant or pluralise the legacy of indigenous language and face-to-face communication highly cherished in Africa, with modern norms seeking to move Africa from an oral to a chirographic society. He considers the compounding of the issues by highly advanced systems of information technology that relocate the physical world in cyber space, and transmutes the vast boundaries of the world into an electronic village.
