The written text of the anthems of the sampled universities, which were obtained largely from the websites and documents owned by the universities, were content and language analysed. The results indicate the use of lexical repetition, phonological repetition, punctuation and capitalisation to portray the universities as centres of knowledge and excellence. The results also indicate that students and staff of these institutions love and take pride in them.
