  • Vigesimal Numerals on Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) Dialects of Yorùbá
    Vigesimal Numerals on Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) Dialects of Yorùbá Felix Abídèmí Fábùnmi (Ilé-Ifẹ̀) Abstract This study intends to bring Ifẹ̀ (Togo) into a linguistic limelight using the numeral systems. Numerals are a very important aspect of the day to day socio-economic and linguistic life of Ifẹ̀ (Togo) people. The traditional Ifẹ̀ (Togo) number system is vigesimal. In this study, forty- two different number words are listed for Yorùbá Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) and Yorùbá Ifẹ̀ (Togo) and compared with Standard Yorùbá. We compared the Ifẹ̀ (Togo) number words and counting patterns with that of the Standard Yorùbá and Ifẹ̀ (Nigeria) and discovered that, by the nature of the components of these numbers, majority of the basic number words are either bisyllabic or trisyllabic, each syllable having the form VCV for the cardinals, and CVCV for the ordinals. There are irregularities in tonality; there are also alternations in the sequences of the vowel (oral and nasalized) and consonant sounds. This work finds out that Ifẹ̀ (Togo) has two counting patterns. In the first pattern, it uses addition solely to derive the number words but with a counting pattern where 'ten', 'twenty' and the added number units are taken as a whole. In the second counting pattern, subtraction is used to derive number words but this is applicable only to three numbers i. e. seventeen – /mɛ́ɛtadínóɡú/, eighteen – /méèʤìdínóɡu/ and nineteen – /mɔ̀kɔ̃dínoɡ́ u/. The Ifẹ̀ (Togo) dialect of Yorùbá mostly uses additive number positions. The dialect favours additive number positions more than the subtractive and the multiplicative positions. In other words, higher numbers are frequently used as bases for addition not as bases for multiplication in Ifẹ̀ (Togo).

  • 1 Geography and Society
    Cambridge University Press 978-1-107-06460-7 — The Yoruba from Prehistory to the Present Aribidesi Usman , Toyin Falola Excerpt More Information 1 1 Geography and Society Stories of Odud uwa’s arrival at Il e- Ife, and his children’s subsequent migration into new territories (Atanda 1980 :2; Johnson 1921 ), mark the beginning of Yoruba history studies, from Ajayi Crowther and Samuel Johnson onwards. One origin legend, claiming that the Y oruba had inhabited their territory from time immemorial, begins with Olod umare (God) sending Oduduwa from heaven to create the solid earth and the human race (Atanda 1980 :1– 2). In the legend, Oduduwa descends to earth on a long chain and lands at Ile- Ife, where he establishes solid ground and plants the i rst seed (Akintoye 2004 :4– 5). This tradition establishes Ile-Ife as the cradle of the Yoruba, and Oduduwa as the Yoruba’s progenitor, or i rst ancestor. Oduduwa was considered the founder of the i rst Yoruba kingdom, situated in Ile- Ife, beginning the Yoruba kingship. Another version of the origin myth, detailing later developments, claims that Oduduwa led the Yoruba to their present location after migrating from the east. The story claims that the migration was caused by political disturbances accompanying the expansion of Islam (Atanda 1980 ), but the exact location of the legend’s “east” is not def- inite. A third claim, divergent from the above traditions, asserts that Ile- Ife was already inhabited when Oduduwa arrived. This introduces the story of Agbo nmiregun, whom Oduduwa met at Ile-Ife (Atanda 1980 ).

  • Topics on Yoruba Nominal Expressions
    TOPICS ON YORUBA NOMINAL EXPRESSIONS by OLADIIPO JACOB AJIBOYE B.A (1983), P.G.D.E (1988), MA (1992), University of florin A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in THE FACULTY OF GRADUATE STUDIES (Linguistics) THE UNIVERISTY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA November 2005 © Oladiipo Jacob Ajiboye, 2005 ABSTRACT This thesis discusses four selected topics on Yoruba nominal expressions: the syntax of possessives, the construal of bare nouns, the marking of specificity and salience, and plural marking strategies. Regarding possessives, it is proposed that they have one base structure (a vP shell). The difference in surface linear order between verbal and nominal genitives is determined by which of the two arguments move. In nominal genitives, the possessum moves. In verbal genitives, it is the possessor that moves. Regarding the interpretation of Yoruba bare nouns, it is shown that they can be construed in one of three ways: as generics, as indefinites, or as definites. First, generics may be lexically conditioned (with permanent state predicates) or grammatically conditioned (with transitory predicates through the use of imperfective maa-n). Second, wherever a generic construal is illicit, an indefinite construal is licit. Third, definite construals are discourse-linked. Regarding specificity, it is shown that Yoruba overtly marks specificity on NPs with the element kan. Regarding salience, it is shown that definite DPs are morphologically marked as salient (by virtue of being unique, in an identity relation or additive) through the use of nda. Finally, regarding plural marking, it is shown that Yoruba uses three different strategies: contextually, semantically, or morphologically determined plurality.

  • The Untold Stories of the Esie Stone Figurines
    December 2008 Newsletter Exploring Frontiers of Archaeology and Cultural Resource Management: Untold Stories of the Esie Stone Figurines B y J. O. Aleru and K. Adekola* Abstract The north central Yorubaland homeland of the Igbomina Yoruba, in the modern Kwara State of Nigeria, is endowed with abundant natural and cultural resources. The cultural landscape of the area is indeed very rich. However, the vast majority of these significant elements of cultural heritage remain unexamined. In fact, most of these resources are hardly known. For about seven decades since the first and best known elements of cultural heritage in the area were unearthed in the town of Esie, we have yet to substantially expand the repertoire of knowledge concerning the cultural history of the region. For several decades, a number of scholars have decried the inadequacy of information on the ancient political, social, economic and religious structures that existed in this region (Aremu 1991, 2006; Folorunso, 2006; Obayemi, 1982; Onabajo, 1988, 1994; Pogoson, 1990; Aribidesi et al. 2005; Aleru, 2006). Yet, little research has been conducted to improve the situation. This article reports on the potential elements of natural and cultural heritage in the homeland of the Igbomina people, and of recent archaeological work undertaken by the authors within the region. Introduction Among the most prominent of known elements of cultural heritage in the homeland region of the Igbomina are 800 representational statues carved in steatite (or “soapstone”) found in the landscape surrounding the town of Esie in the modern Kwara State of Nigeria (Figs. 1-3). These figurines, ranging in size from 14 centimeters to over one meter in height, represent both men and women, often in positions seated on stools, kneeling, playing musical instruments, holding machetes, or with their hands placed upon their knees.
