Abstract
Through a socio-pragmatic perspective, this research examines some wealth names that are ascribed to the married Igbo women in Nigeria. The objectives are to project some aspects of misconception of the status of the married Igbo women and their implications, as well as to advocate for the positive and progressive approaches to the perception of the status of the married Igbo women. Leech’s (1983) Socio-pragmatics provides the theoretical orientation for this research. The data is a set of some wealth names collected, through observation technique, from the ascriptions used to address married women within the Igbo context across the southeastern part of Nigeria. The method of this research is qualitative. The methodological paradigm is interpretive, based on content analysis.
