A knowledge of the collocational principles governing the cooccurrence of words aidsthe linguistic analyses of eccentric poetic usages such as oxymoron, paradox, and tuatology.These forms can be more formally linguistically analysed and insights gained complement theliterary critic's efforts. This paper shows how these semantically deviant constructionscontribute to "meaning" in Okot p'Bitek's Song of Lawino. Lawino exploited them for satire.Tautology is vacuous, empty, meaningless; but she used it to communicate her disgust anddissatisfaction at her husband's unsociable behaviour. Her use of oxymoron and paradox islinked to her tendency to exaggerate; but these exaggerations are to shock her erringhusband to realization. He had shriked his marital and parental responsabilities and neededto be reminded. Their literary significance hinge on their situational meaningfulness. Thecritic must develop the ability to understand, explain and interpret such usages; and thusmake literary sense of semantic nonsense
