Samuel Gyasi Obeng studies how language works in social and institutional settings, with particular attention to spoken interaction, discourse, and politics in African contexts such as Ghana. Much of the research applies discourse and conversation analysis to areas like courtroom talk, classroom communication, political speech, and language policy. The work often examines how power, identity, and persuasion are expressed through everyday and formal language use.
