The norms are captured in a non-formal Hausa concept of kunya and supported by shari’a legal system. in comparison with traditional Hausa Discourse. It also assess the film discourse through the analysis of film characters and their attitudes towards communicative performance.

However, the reason for the choice of these communicative aspects of the Hausa language is the confrontation of the film features with people’ attitude to the film message and film language.
