The article offers poetry criticism of the poem "Adélékè Adéekó" by Phillis Wheatley. It explores the use of Nigerian literate in English language. It analyzes that formulaic epithets are commonly found in the praise poetry of kings and paramount chiefs. The author provides an interpretation of compositions that are defined less by metrical formulas and more by the conventions that specific societies and circumstances expect of the listener.

This is due to the particular nature of idioms: on the one hand, they are lexical units established by usage as having a meaning not deducible from that of the individual words; on the other hand, idioms behave as non-idiomatic constructions. These constructions, which include both idioms based on ordinary verbs and those based on light verbs, are selected from monolingual and bilingual dictionaries, texts and the Internet. In chapter 7, the author examines the controversial issue of subject idioms, and claims, contrary to other linguists' opinions, that they exist and are more frequent in intransitive idiom constructions (95%) than in transitive ones. Vietri gives some examples of how idioms can be processed in Nooj starting from the encoding of MWEs in the dictionary moving on to the annotation of complex idiom constructions, such as the passive ones.
