Literary texts have made literary writers most times, deploy linguistic resources in order to actualise their thematic concerns. This paper sets to identify and discuss the different lexical relations in the novel of Okediran by taking cues from two ‘To-infinitive’ expressions centralised in Tenants of the House. Drawing insights from Hoey’s (2005), the paper discovers that the definitive nature of the identified ‘To-infinitive’ expressions in Okediran’s Tenants of the House, has made it possible for lexemes employed in the literary text share a bond with lexical relations in Semantics. In other words, the lexical relations in the literary text are corollaries to the two identified ‘To-infinitive’ expressions. Also discovered is the fact that the lexical relations in the text showcase the relationship that may exist among humans/non-humans. The paper concludes that the choice of the different lexical relations in a text could serve as yardsticks for determining the relations that exist between entities thereby contributing to a text’s thematic objectives.
