GEMA Online® Journal of Language Studies 143 Volume 15(1), February 2015 Truncation of Some Akan Personal Names Kwasi Adomako [email protected] University of Education, Winneba, Ghana ABSTRACT This paper examines some morphophonological processes in Akan personal names with focus on the former process. The morphological processes of truncation of some indigenous personal names identified among the Akan (Asante) ethnic group of Ghana are discussed. The paper critically looks at some of these postlexical morpheme boundary processes in some Akan personal names realized in the truncated form when two personal names interact. In naming a child in a typical Akan, specifically in Asante‟s custom, a family name is given to the child in addition to his/her „God-given‟ name or day-name. We observe truncation and some phonological processes such as vowel harmony, compensatory lengthening, etc. at the morpheme boundaries in casual speech context. These morphophonological processes would be analyzed within the Optimality Theory framework where it would be claimed that there is templatic constraint that demands that the base surname minimally surfaces as disyllable irrespective of the syllable size of the base surname. -

Asante Traditional Leadership and the Process
ASANTE TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP AND THE PROCESS OF EDUCATIONAL CHANGE A dissertation presented to the faculty of the College of Education of Ohio University In partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree Doctor of Philosophy NANA KWAKU WIAFE BROBBEY OWUSU-KWARTENG August 2005 © 2005 NANA KWAKU WIAFE BROBBEY OWUSU-KWARTENG All Rights Reserved This dissertation entitled ASANTE TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP AND THE PROCESS OF EDUCATIONAL CHANGE By NANA KWAKU WIAFE BROBBEY OWUSU-KWARTENG has been approved for the Department of Educational Studies and the College of Education by William Stephen Howard Professor of Telecommunication James Heap Dean, the College of Education OWUSU-KWARTENG, NANA KWAKU WIAFE BROBBEY. Ph.D. August 2005 Educational Studies ASANTE TRADITIONAL LEADERSHIP AND THE PROCESS OF EDUCATIONAL CHANGE (222 pp) Director of Dissertation: William Stephen Howard, Ph.D. Abstract This study lies at the intersection of contemporary research on leadership and concerns for the performance of recent African leaders and theme of participation. It utilizes qualitative approaches to examine the issue of leadership and stakeholder participation in the role of Asante traditional leadership and the process of educational change in Ghana during the last quarter of the twentieth and the beginning of the twenty- first centuries and the representations that such participation holds for the rest of the country and Africa in the quest for relevant education systems, leadership functions and expectations of stakeholders. The call of the Asantehene (King of Asante), Otumfuo Osei Tutu II at his installation that improved and quality formal education should be a criterion of assessment for his reign; the subsequent establishment of the Otumfuo Education Fund and Offinsoman Education Trust Fund provided the background to formulate the study. -
Truncation of Some Akan Personal Names
GEMA Online® Journal of Language Studies 143 Volume 15(1), February 2015 Truncation of Some Akan Personal Names Kwasi Adomako [email protected] University of Education, Winneba, Ghana ABSTRACT This paper examines some morphophonological processes in Akan personal names with focus on the former process. The morphological processes of truncation of some indigenous personal names identified among the Akan (Asante) ethnic group of Ghana are discussed. The paper critically looks at some of these postlexical morpheme boundary processes in some Akan personal names realized in the truncated form when two personal names interact. In naming a child in a typical Akan, specifically in Asante‟s custom, a family name is given to the child in addition to his/her „God-given‟ name or day-name. We observe truncation and some phonological processes such as vowel harmony, compensatory lengthening, etc. at the morpheme boundaries in casual speech context. These morphophonological processes would be analyzed within the Optimality Theory framework where it would be claimed that there is templatic constraint that demands that the base surname minimally surfaces as disyllable irrespective of the syllable size of the base surname. The relatively high ranking of this minimality constraint, we claim in this paper, forces the application of the compensatory lengthening rule to ensure satisfaction of that constraint in the truncated forms. Keywords: personal names; Akan; optimality theory; morphology; truncation INTRODUCTION This paper studies the morphophonology of some indigenous Akan (Asante) personal names (henceforth APN), which generally falls under onomastics. The present study focuses on the analysis of how these personal names are realized at the phonetic level of the Akan grammar. -

RESEARCH REVIEW NS VOL.7 NOS. 1 & 2 1991 TWI ETYMOLOGY: A STUDY IN ETHNO-LINGUISTICS Owusu Brempong Language as an arbitrary system of vocal symbols is a device through which human beings interact in terms of the total culture. The proposition for this paper is that Twi speaking peoples of Ghana have labels affixing to the behaviours which receive the names in that culture; that the lexemes assigned to concepts are linked to the cultural behaviour of the Akan Twi speaking peoples. The method employed here is a functional analysis, a method of determining the semantic components of concepts forwhichagiventermis a rubric; a sequence of phonemes that carries meaning and show the way of life of a people influences the particular language they speak. The subject of Twi etymology several times was introduced in conversation and often, it generated a heated debate among friends who belong to various Akan ethnic groups i.e., Asante, Bono, Akwapim and Fante. This informal method of receiving comments on the subject and acting as participant observer aided me to determine various morphemes which are put together to form lexemes; cultural pattern which is determined by the cultural behaviour of various Akan groups. The basic aim of "Twi Etymology" is to be used as a tool for teaching the Twi language to non-native speakers; aiding students to understand the links between Twi words and the cultural behaviour of the Akan peoples. -
