God bless you all. iii University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh ABSTRACT The thesis provides a detailed description of aspects of the phonology of Gurenε, a Gur language under the language family of Niger-Congo and a dialect of Farefari spoken in the Upper East Region of Ghana. The aspects of Gurenε phonology discussed in this thesis are the phonemic system, the syllable, tone, harmony and other phonotactic processes. The analyses were pursued within linear and non-linear phonology frameworks. Within the Linear Phonology approach, the Distinctive Features Theory was used to describe the sound system of Gurenε. While within the Non-Linear Phonology framework, the Moraic Theory was used to account for the syllable structure and the Autosegmental phonology was employed to analyse tonal and segmental processes at the different points of the Gurenε syllable and word. The findings show that Gurenε has twenty- five consonants consisting of twenty-one simple consonants, four complex consonants, which include a pre-nasal labial velar sound. Gurenε also has sixteen distinct vowels and one derived vowel, which is the schwa. These vowels comprise nine oral vowels and seven nasal vowels. All the nine oral vowels can be nasalized. Isolated vowel syllables have also been observed in Gurenε. The CV and CVC are the basic or core syllable types, while the mora is the tone-bearing unit in Gurenε. It has also been established that Gurenε has three light and three heavy syllable types. It is observed that harmony is widespread in Gurenε. Thus, the types of harmony that occur in Gurenε include vowel harmony, vowel-consonant harmony, and nasal harmony. It has also been established that there are three level tones (low, mid and high) and two contour tones (falling and rising) in Gurenε. The verb has a default low tone while the tone of the noun varies depending on the context in which it occurs (a simple word, compound or phrase). Tonal processes in Gurenε include downdrift, downstep, tone shift, tone preservation and tone spreading or assimilation. Data for this research come from two sources: primary data and secondary data. The primary data consist of recordings of utterances of native speakers of the language. The secondary source of data includes the Gurenε- iv University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh English dictionary and other Gurenε literature. In addition, the researcher’s intuition as a native speaker of the language and insights from key native speaker linguists of the language has been very useful. v University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh Table of Contents DECLARATION .............................................................................................................................. i DEDICATION ................................................................................................................................. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT ..............................................................................................................iii ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................................... iv CHAPTER ONE .............................................................................................................................. 1 1.0 Introduction ............................................................................................................................... 1 1.1 Background of study .............................................................................................................. 2 1.2 Morphophonemic processes in Gurenε .................................................................................. 6 1.2.1 Morphophonemic analysis of nouns ............................................................................... 6 1.2.2 Formation of Adjectives .................................................................................................. 7 1.2.3 Formation of compounds in Gurenε ............................................................................... 9 1.3 Statement of the Problems ................................................................................................... 11 1.3.1 Consonant phonemes .................................................................................................... 12 1.3.2 Vowel phonemes ........................................................................................................... 13 1.3.3 Vowel length in Gurenε ................................................................................................. 14 1.3.4 Nasal vowels ................................................................................................................. 14 1.3.5 The syllable structure .................................................................................................... 14 1.3.6 Vowel harmony in Gurenε ............................................................................................ 16 1.3.7 Tone in Gurenε .............................................................................................................. 19 1.4 Research Questions .............................................................................................................. 19 1.5 Objectives of the study ........................................................................................................ 20 1.5.1 Major objective(s) of the study ..................................................................................... 20 1.5.2 Specific objectives of the study .................................................................................... 20 1.6 Significance of the Study ..................................................................................................... 20 1.7 Methodology ........................................................................................................................ 21 1.7.1 Introduction ................................................................................................................... 21 1.7.2 Research design/Fieldwork ........................................................................................... 22 1.7.3 Consultants .................................................................................................................... 22 vi University of Ghana http://ugspace.ug.edu.gh 1.7.4 Area of Study ................................................................................................................ 23 1.7.5 Sources of data .............................................................................................................. 23 1.8 Organization of the work ....................................................................................................

DESCRIPTORS *African Languages; Foreign Countries; *Grammar; *Language Patterns; Language Research; Language Variation; *Semantics; Structural Analysis (Linguistics); *Syntax; Uncommonly Taught Languages; *Verbs IDENTIFIERS Africa (West); Dagari ABSTRACT An integrated analysis of the syntax and semantics of serial verb constructions (SVCs) in a group of West African languages is presented. With data from Dagadre and closest relatives, a structural definition for SVCs is developed (two or more lexical verbs that share grammatical categories within a clause), establishing SVCs as complex predicates. Based on syntactic theories, a formal phrase structure is adapted forrepresentation of SVCs, interpreting each as a product of a series of VP adjunctions. Within this new, non-derivational, pro-expansionary approach to grammar, several principles are developed to license grammatical information flow and verbal ordering priority. Based on semantic theories, a functional account of SVCs is developed: that the actions represented by the verbs in the SVC together express a single, complex event. A new model of e. -ant structure for allconstructional transitions is proposed, and it is illustrated how two types of these transitions, West African SVCs and Scandinavian small clause constructions(SCCs), conform to this proposed event structure.

  • The Structure of Burkina Faso Kusaal
    SIL Burkina Faso The Structure of Burkina Faso Kusaal Draft Edition Urs Niggli 2104 SIL, B.P. 1784, Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso Preface The dialect of Kusaal which forms the basis of the present study is that spoken in and around Youga in the southeast of Burkina Faso, very close to the boarder to Ghana. Roughly the same language dialect is also spoken across the border in Ghana at the western side of the “Nakambe” river which separates Eastern from Western Kusaal. While there are various works on aspects of the Kusaal language, of which most have been written in Ghana, I felt the need for a sketch of the main aspects of the phonology, morphology, syntax and discourse of the Burkina Faso Kusaal in order to better understand the overall structure of Kusaal and provide a tool for those who want to further develop this beautiful language. Our insight was helpful for the development of an orthography guide and of the edition of the first Burkina Kusaal primer that is being used since 2012 in literacy. We did a sketch on the phonology (chapter 2) followed by an outline of the Nominal morphology (chapter 3) as well as the Verbal morphology (chapter 4). For the syntax analysis (chapter 5) we employed a structure - function approach. We tried to understand and describe the predictable grammatical patterns for Kusaal and the predictable ways in which the order of words in a sentence can (or cannot) be influenced by what goes on in the relationship between speakers and hearers, as well as the world around.

Associate editor: Sohini Ramachandran Research article Abstract Downloaded from Burkina Faso is located in the heart of West Africa and is a representative of the local structured patterns of human variability. Here, different cultures and languages are found in a geographic contiguity, as a result of several waves of migration and the succession of long- and short-term empires. However, historical documentation for this area is only partial, focusing predominantly on the recent empires, and linguistic surveys lack the power to fully elucidate the social context of the contact-induced changes. In this paper, we report Y-chromosomal data and complete mtDNA genome http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/ sequences for ten populations from Burkina Faso whose languages belong to two very distantly related branches of the Niger–Congo phylum, the Gur and Mande language families. In addition, two further populations, the Mande-speaking Mandenka from Senegal and the Yoruba from Nigeria, were included for regional comparison. We focus on the different historical trajectories undergone by the maternal and paternal lineages.

Acta Universitatis Upsaliensis, Uppsala Studies in Cultural Anthropology 30. 197 pp. Uppsala 2000. ISBN 91-554-4770-8. The volume contains ten essays that are concerned with the problem ofboundaries, and of the bonds that overcome them in northern Ghana and southern Burkina Faso. It explores cosmological notions of space, colonial and postcolonial representations and social practices. All the essays integrate, though in various ways, cosmological and geographical notions of space, although the topics vary from identity, religion and marriage to politics, history and farming in this frontier region. Most of the essays were initially written for an international seminar in Gaoua (Burkina Faso) in 1998, which aimed at crossing the boundaries, be they national, socio-cultural, linguistic, political or religious ones by bringing together some scholars of different cultural, postcolonial and academic environments. © Department of Cultural Anthropology & Ethnology and the authors 2000 ISSN 0348-5099 ISBN 91-554-4770-8 Typesetting: Mikael Brandstrom Printed in Sweden by Elanders Gotab, Stockholm 2000 Distributor: Uppsala University Library, Box 510, SE-751 20 Uppsala, Sweden Preface 7 Jan Ovesen Introduction: Coping with Cosmology and Geography

  • The Peoples of Northern Ghana 22/05/2006
    The Peoples Of Northern Ghana 22/05/2006 By PROF. A.K. AWEDOBA ABSTRACT This is a detailed survey of the socio-demographic patterns of the peoples who inhabit the Northern half of Ghana. The author gives an account of the indigenous language patterns of the different ethnic groups, their social customs and distinctive customs. Among the main ethnic groups discussed in the survey are: (1) Dagbani - Nanuni and Moore–Gurma of Northern Region; (2) Dagaare – Wali- Birifor of Upper West Region; and (3) "Frafra" – Nankani, Talni, Bulsa, Nabit, Kusaal, and Grusi of Upper East Region. Northern Ghana comprises the three northernmost administrative regions of Ghana: the Upper West Region, Upper East Region and Northern Region. These lie roughly north of the Lower Black Volta River, which together with its tributaries the White and Red Voltas and the Oti and Daka rivers, drain the area that comprises Northern Ghana. Northern Ghana shares international boundaries with the Burkina Faso to the North, Togo to the east and Cote D'Ivoire to the lower south- west. To the south Northern Ghana shares regional boundaries with the Brong Ahafo Region and the Volta Region. In colonial times the area now covered by these three regions constituted the Northern Territories of the Gold Coast and were administered by a Chief Commissioner who was responsible to the Governor of the Gold Coast for its administration. The area and its people were designated as the 'Tribes of the Ashanti Hinterland' by the Gold Coast anthropologist, Capt. R.S. Rattray who wrote a two volume account on that title describing the social institutions of the communities in this part of modern Ghana.
