  • 446 Rajend Mesthrie, Ed. the Book Under Review Is a Dialect
    446 book reviews Rajend Mesthrie, ed. A Dictionary of South African Indian English. Cape Town: uct Press, 2010, xxviii and 260 pp. ISBN 978-1-91989-536-9. The book under review is a dialect dictionary that records the words of a vari- ety of English which developed out of language contact and second language acquisition during language shift amongst the Indian population in South Africa. It is not an inclusive dictionary because its focus is on the word stock that is specific to this part of the population in South Africa and thus excludes the items that are shared with the rest of the local population, as well as bor- rowings from Indian languages that have become part of global mainstream English (e.g. bungalow, shampoo or bangle). The dictionary is of interest to a broad range of scholars and language users: sociolinguists studying the devel- opment of new Englishes and those specifically interested in varieties of English in the diverse Indian Diaspora; lexicographers with a particular inter- est in borrowing; speakers of South African English who come across words specific to this ethnic variety in daily life; or even literary scholars interested in works written by South African Indian authors. It is possible to contextualize the dictionary within the lexicographic work done on contact varieties of English more generally, and within the develop- ment of these varieties more specifically. According to Schneider (2007: 52) dictionaries play an important role in the evolution of New Englishes because they promote endonormative stabilization. In a similar vein, Algeo (1992: 210) distinguishes three stages in the lexicographical history of nations such as Australia, Canada, New Zealand and South Africa: at stage one, only slang or dialect usages of the new variety are taken note of; at the second stage, British dictionaries start recording the new words from the (former) colonies; and finally, lexicographers compile dictionaries that take the usage in the new nation as the norm.

  • The Status of Fanagalo in South Africa Today
    Against all odds: The status of Fanagalo in South Africa today N. E. RAVYSE DISSERTATION SUBMITTED IN FULFILMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE MASTER OF ARTS IN ENGLISH AT THE VAAL TRIANGLE CAMPUS OF THE NORTH-WEST UNIVERSITY. SUPERVISOR: PROFESSOR A. S. COETZEE-VAN ROOY NOVEMBER 2013 Summary Sub-cultural languages in South Africa – languages which do not enjoy official status amongst other qualities – have not received much attention academically. Existing theories of maintenance and shift accommodate mainstream languages in their role and function within dominant society. However the sub-cultural languages, in which Fanagalo will later be categorised, and their role and function in society are unclear. This may be the result of the inefficiency of current theories of maintenance and shift to explain the functionality of sub-cultural languages and the process they undergo leading to either maintenance or shift. Furthermore, failure to recognise the role and function of such sub-cultural languages may be attributed to their non-official status as they are not officially supported by language policies. The purpose of this study is therefore to understand the process of maintenance or shift a sub-cultural language undergoes. This process is accommodated by developing a theoretical model related to maintenance or shift for sub-cultural languages. This model, specifically based on Fanagalo, will expand on the boundaries set in existing theoretical models of maintenance and shift in order to accommodate sub-cultural language. It is important to stress that the period during which the data was collected on site at Mine X in Rustenburg, is volatile in nature.

    CONTACT LANGUAGES IN AFRICA'1 Bonnie B. Keller Graduate Student, Anthropology University of California, Berkeley Culture contact has been a toric of snecial interest to anthropologists. A contact situation lends itself to numerous kinds of study: personality con- flict, culture change, diffusion, >reakdown and retention of cultural patterns. Another phenomenon occurring in contact situations, and one which would seem to appear in all the above ½henomena to some extent, is linguistic change; unfor- tunately, this aspect of culture contact has not been emphasized, and there is not a great amount of research material available on it. When individuals of different cultures, and often Possessing different languages, come into contact, there are four possibilities for intercourse be- tween them, according to John Reinecke, one of the authorities in the field of linguistic contact and change (1938:107';. They may attempt no speech at all, and carry on a purely gesturing or signalling tyne of communication, such as dumb barter. They may use a lingua franca, that is, a third language which both know. (The term is derived from the original contact language, Lingua Franca, a language used by the French crusaders in dealing with the Levantines.) A lingua franca is essentially "any language used as a means of communication among peo- ple of different linguistic backgrounds" (Hall, 1955:25). One group may learn the language of the other, a phenomenon known as bilingualism. Finally, if neither group is in a position to become bilingual or to learn a lingua franca, both may resort to the use of a reduced fonr"of one of the two languages.

  • Shifting Norms of Linguistic and Cultural Respect: Hybrid Sociolinguistic Zulu Identities* STEPHANIE INGE RUDWICK University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa
    Nordic Journal of African Studies 17(2): 152–174 (2008) Shifting Norms of Linguistic and Cultural Respect: Hybrid Sociolinguistic Zulu Identities* STEPHANIE INGE RUDWICK University of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa ABSTRACT Most traditional African societies, due to strict patriarchy and seniority principles inherent in their cultural systems, prescribe great significance to respectful behaviour towards males and elders. Hlonipha, the cultural and linguistic system of respect which exists in most Southern Bantu-speaking African societies must be understood as a complex web of sociological and linguistic actions which prescribe deferential behaviour (Raum, 1973). This paper explores whether and to what extent linguistic and social norms of hlonipha are uniform and consistent within the members of a particular ethno-linguistic or social group in contemporary South Africa, i.e. isiZulu-speakers in urban KwaZulu-Natal. In order to find answers to this multifaceted research question, I draw from interdisciplinary empirical findings based on a large research project which investigates the role, function and status of hlonipha. Among other things, it is argued that there is a clear correlation between the construction of hybrid cultural and ethno-linguistic identities and an urban upward mobile lifestyle among young isiZulu-speakers. Keywords: Zulu society, hlonipha custom, hybridity, identities. 1. INTRODUCTION Lack of respect, though less aggressive than an outright insult, can take an equally wounding form. No insult is offered another person, but neither is recognition extended; he or she is not seen – as a full being whose presence matters (Sennett 2003: 3). One of the most prolific social thinkers of our time, Richard Sennett, wonders why respect should be in short supply while it costs nothing and provides people with a sense of dignity and pride.

  • Fanakalo As a Trade Language in Kwazulu-Natal
    FANAKALO AS A TRADE LANGUAGE IN KWAZULU-NATAL by Heidi Newby -Rose Thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree MPhil in Intercultural Communication at the University of Stellenbosch Supervisor: Dr. Kate Huddlestone Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Department of General Linguistics December 2011 i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za DECLARATION By submitting this thesis electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the sole author thereof (save to the extent explicitly otherwise stated), that reproduction and publication thereof by Stellenbosch University will not infringe any third party rights and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. Heidi Newby-Rose November 2011 Copyright © 2011 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved i Stellenbosch University http://scholar.sun.ac.za ABSTRACT This study investigates the use of the pidgin Fanakalo as a trade language in rural KwaZulu-Natal: its birth under certain historical circumstances; its spread; its apparent growth, post-1990, as new immigrants continue to enter the country and acquire and use Fanakalo out of expediency; and the reasons why Fanakalo continues to thrive in certain contexts. It focuses specifically on similarities between the relations between Gujarati traders and their customers in the 19th century and the relations that exist between Gujarati and Pakistani traders and their Zulu- speaking customers today. Data was collected primarily through semi-structured interviews with nine Gujarati traders – two born in South Africa and the others recent immigrants – five Pakistani traders and ten Zulu speakers, of which two were employees of traders while the others were customers.

  • Liberalism and Communitarianism in South Africa Today
    Liberalism and Communitarianism in South Africa Today Philosophically, modern communitarianism is a critical reaction to the Rawlsian original position, as the standpoint from which judgements of justice can be made. In Rawls’s view, the individual in the original position is removed from all the contingencies of a concrete social position, and so from all partiality. Communitarians, by contrast, hold that moral and political judgements are determined in determinate contexts by situated selves in all the fullness of their existence. Justice, in this view, is practical support of ends shared by the community. Charles Simkins But what if community values come into conflict? Such was the situation in 1840s is Head of the School of Commerce, Philosophy India, when protest was made to General Napier against the abolition of sati. Napier and Applied Ethics at replied: St Augustine College, “Very well. This burning of widows is your custom. Prepare the funeral pyre, but the Catholic university in my nation also has a custom. When men burn women alive, we hang them. My Johannesburg.

Witwatersrand 1991-2008. From a universal human rights point of view, force was justified as a necessary means to protect the right to life. Intertwining communitarianism and liberalism was a feature of ‘indirect rule’ in British imperialism. For instance, legal disputes where all the parties belonged to a subject people were governed by customary law (a communitarian rule), except where this law was repugnant to morals (a universal reference).
