URL : http:// journals.openedition.org/eastafrica/340 Les Cahiers d’Afrique de l’Est / The East African Review Les Cahiers d’Afrique de l’Est Evolution of Sheng during the Last Decade Aurélia Ferrari Introduction Sheng, popularly deined as an acronym for “Swahili-English slang” (Mazrui, 1995), emerged in the 1960s in the multicultural environment of Nairobi. It is an urban language which combines mainly Kiswahili and English but also other Kenyan languages such as Kikuyu, Luyha, Dholuo and Kikamba. Sheng is characterized by an important linguistic lexibility. It does not have an oficial status even if it widelyis spoken, especially by the youth. Originally used as a vehicular language between people from different regions, it is becoming a vernacular language, some people born in the 1980s or later having Sheng as their irst language. Sheng is not a unique linguistic phenomenon in Africa. In the last ifty years, urbanization and globalization have prompted the emergence of new urban linguistic codes. Such codes are based on multilingual speech and characterized by unstable vocabulary.

  • Hesabika Handbook.Pdf
    National Convention Saturday, 30th April - Monday, 2nd May 2016 FOCUS National Director’s Message A WORD FROM THE FOCUS NATIONAL DIRECTOR A warm welcome to all the Hesabika Convention delegates! A special welcome to our guests from outside the country. This convention becomes the fourth of FOCUS Kenya’s flagship Conventions. However, Hesabika comes about as a unique convention owing to the need it addresses and the urgency it deserves: FOCUS Kenya has over the years (since 1973) nurtured more than 100,000 Christians from the Christian Unions. These graduates are found in every sector Mr. George Ogalo of the society, majority in very influential positions. While we rejoice at this outcome over the years, the current spread and levels of corruption, the trap of negative ethnicity, the levels of poverty among a majority of Kenyans, and the untamed politics outrightly challenge our theology and practice of Christian faith. They make a mockery of the claim that Kenya is 82% Christian, even when history attests to Christian values playing a major role in social transformation when Christians choose to stand up and be counted. It is out of this reality and our Christian mandate that a significant number of Kenyans are gathered in this convention to focus on national social transformation. I believe that this Convention will begin to validate the many Christians in the market place as a source of light and as a practical voice of God for social transformation. The prevailing notion that the voice of God is confined to the clergy and to Sunday worship needs to be 2 addressed radically so that Christian influence can get into the streets and marketplaces where the individual Christian in the private and public sector operates.

  • “We're Not Living in America, but We're Not Sorry!”
    Faculty of Economic Sciences, Communication and IT Madeleine Magnusson Lisa Skogström “We’re not living in America, but we’re not sorry!” A study of television consumption and relative deprivation among Kenyan students in an urban and a rural area Media and Communication C-level thesis Date/Term: 20-01-10 Supervisor: Stefan Jerkeby Examiner: Christer Clerwall Serial Number: X-XX XX XX Karlstads universitet 651 88 Karlstad Tfn 054-700 10 00 Fax 054-700 14 60 [email protected] www.kau.se Abstract The United States of America is one of the most powerful countries in the world and their broadcasting system has become a role model to the rest of the world. Since the US charge less for their media products in third world countries, it is cheaper even for poor countries to import American content than to purchase local products. The aim with our survey is to explore whether heavy consumers of American television programs in Kenya hold positive attitudes to the American lifestyle and experience feelings of relative deprivation as a result of this consumption. Comparisons are made between students in an urban and a rural area. The theoretical framework for this study includes cultivation theory which investigates the effects of the values and behaviors of the television audience. It also includes relative deprivation, which is based on the assumption that people experience deprivation when they compare themselves with others – so called reference groups. In our case the reference group is the American lifestyle. A third theory used for this study is cultural imperialism which says that dominating, mainly western media corporations impose their cultural values on third world countries, as in this case, Kenya.

    Thesis A pragmatic analysis of figurative language used in HIV/AIDS discourse in Kenia: a case study of english and Kiswahili messages MAGONYA, Lilian Abstract This research investigates whether Kenyans from 42 mutually intelligible communities homogeneously comprehend AIDS posters. In this regard, the five research objectives are: (1) to investigate whether Kenyan AIDS posters are skewed towards implicitness or explicitness, (2) to access to what extent do addressees comprehend AIDS posters, (3) to carry out an in-depth lexico-pragmatic analysis of processes involved in the Kenyan AIDS discourse, (4) to study the various conceptualizations of AIDS in figurative discourse and analyze Kenyan mental representations of AIDS in various communities, (5) to examine ethno-cultural stereotypes inhibiting the implementation of AIDS posters. To achieve this, the study's conceptual framework comprises the Relevance Theory, the Conceptual Blending Theory and the Idealized Cognitive Model Theory. Further, in the analysis of 61 questionnaires distributed to Maseno Division and Eldoret Town respondents in Kenya, and also 21 AIDS posters drawn from various Kenyan NGOs websites engaged in AIDS campaigns, qualitative and quantitative techniques are used.
