Hausa ideophones describing motion are examined in this research. It is revealed that these ideophones do not only portray the character of the actor but also evoke the auditor’s appraisal of the actor’s personality. The use of ideophones in discourse in Hausa and as seen across several languages could be said to be largely esthetic as well as an exhibition of the (native) speaker’s grasp of the language.
