This theory provides that the well formedness in natural languages is constraint governed. Thus, even borrowed lexical items obey these constraints. Constraints are universal and are ranked on a language specific order. The focus of this study is to investigate the phonological and morphological adjustments that English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii undergo as they harmonize themselves with EkeGusii phonological and morphological systems as they adapt EkeGusii constraints ranking order. The study analyzes segmental, phonotactic and suprasegmental adaptations that English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii undergo in the process of being nativized. Further, the study analyzes the affixation processes that characterize these nouns. The study analyses nominal prefixation, augmentation, and classification. The study was guided by the following objectives: to describe the phonological and morphological structures of EkeGusii and English nouns, to analyze the phonological adjustments that English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii undergo during nativization and to analyze the morphological changes that the English noun borrowed into EkeGusii undergo during nativization. The study adopted the descriptive and the explanatory research designs. Data was collected from a sample of 13 interviewees using semi-structured interviews. The interviewees were purposively sampled based on the semantic domains of the nouns collected. All the 349 English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii colleccted from the field constituted the sample size of the study. secondary data was used to describe the phonological and morphological strucures of EkeGusii in response to question 1. Library study and researcher’s intuition were the sources of the secondary data. To test the validity and reliability of the research instrument, pre-testing was carried out and appropriate adjustments and corrections made on the instument. The study yielded the following results. The first objective describes the phonological and morphological structures of English and EkeGusii. It was established that: Phonologically; the acoustic nature of the vowels in the two languages differ significantly, EkeGusii syllable structure is (V)CV, while that of English is (C)V(C), and EkeGusii is characterized by a number of phonological processes not found in English. Morphologically; EkeGusii nouns, unlike those of English, are grouped into classes determined by the semantics of the root of the noun, and affixation in the two languages is different. The second objective analyzed the phonological adjustments that English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii undergo. It was established that: phonemes of English not present in EkeGusii are substituted for those present in EkeGusii, the foreign syllable structure from English is re-syllabified to EkeGusii syllable structure, and English stress is tonemized in EkeGusii.The third objective analyzed the morphological changes that English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii undergo during nativization. It was found that: English nouns enter EkeGusii nominal classes which are semantically determined, nativization of the English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii is characterized by the pre-prefix and, semantics plays a significant role in morphological nativization of English nouns in EkeGusii. This study has establisshed that Optimality Theory can successively analyse English nouns borrowed into EkeGusii and that the nouns obey EkeGusii constraint ranking. It is hoped that this study would contribute to the theoretical understanding of borrowed word phonology and morphology of EkeGusii in particular and that of Bantu languages in general. vi DEDICATION To Moraa, my spouse and my children: Anyona, Nyantari, Nyaboke, Kerubo and Mokeira. vii ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Many hands helped in coming up with this dissertation but given the limitations of space, I may not mention all of them, nor will I record all their individual contributions.

University ABSTRACT The relationship between the Romande Mission and the Liberation Front of Mozambique (FRELIMO) has been the subject of study by a number of Mozambicanists. Most of them agree that the Romande Mission played a key role in educating nationalist elites and in shaping political consciousness among the Africans. Notwithstanding the relevance of this approach, the current study argues that the Tsonga tribal and Mozambican national identities are civil religious constructs. They resulted from sacrificial ritual performances, the expropriation of traditions and symbols, and the creation of sacred spaces. Formed as a linguistic, cultural, religious and tribal unity, the Tsonga provided a historical genealogy and structural template for the emergence of Moçambicanidade as a civil religion. Drawing upon postcolonial theory and discourse analysis, the thesis uses the analytical

  • Language Shift Among the Tonga of Mkoka? Assessing Ethnolinguistic Vitality in Gokwe South
    Language Shift among Tonga of Mkoka? Assessing Ethnolinguistic Vitality in Gokwe South Shumirai Nyota Curriculum Studies Department, Great Zimbabwe University E-mail- [email protected] Abstract This paper gives a first evaluation of the ethnolinguistic vitality of the Tonga community of Mkoka in Gokwe South with focus on the Tonga language. In comparison to the other Tonga communities of Zimbabwe who like them were displaced from the Zambezi valley to make way for the construction of the Kariba dam in the 1950s, the Tonga in Gokwe South have received little attention from researchers if any. This research focuses on the way the Tonga of Mkoka in Gokwe South use their mother-tongue, Tonga (L1), and the second language, Shona, in the primary home/family domain and the secondary domains of language use. Results show that Tonga vitality is based on social status, demographic and informal support variables while its economic, socio-historical and formal support vitality was very low. The Tonga mainly use their (L1) in the family/home domain with interlocutors who are family, friends and neighbours for everyday language use and as they undertake social activities in their environments while for the secondary language use domains, they shift to Shona, the economically more powerful language in the area. Shona was, however, found to be creeping into some Tonga homes but reasons for this encroachment could not be concluded in this paper. Background to the Study The Tonga language of Zimbabwe being examined here falls under what Guthrie (1948/67/71) classifies as M64. It is under the Lenje-Tonga (M60) group.

  • Appendix 1 Vernacular Names
    Appendix 1 Vernacular Names The vernacular names listed below have been collected from the literature. Few have phonetic spellings. Spelling is not helped by the difficulties of transcribing unwritten languages into European syllables and Roman script. Some languages have several names for the same species. Further complications arise from the various dialects and corruptions within a language, and use of names borrowed from other languages. Where the people are bilingual the person recording the name may fail to check which language it comes from. For example, in northern Sahel where Arabic is the lingua franca, the recorded names, supposedly Arabic, include a number from local languages. Sometimes the same name may be used for several species. For example, kiri is the Susu name for both Adansonia digitata and Drypetes afzelii. There is nothing unusual about such complications. For example, Grigson (1955) cites 52 English synonyms for the common dandelion (Taraxacum officinale) in the British Isles, and also mentions several examples of the same vernacular name applying to different species. Even Theophrastus in c. 300 BC complained that there were three plants called strykhnos, which were edible, soporific or hallucinogenic (Hort 1916). Languages and history are linked and it is hoped that understanding how lan- guages spread will lead to the discovery of the historical origins of some of the vernacular names for the baobab. The classification followed here is that of Gordon (2005) updated and edited by Blench (2005, personal communication). Alternative family names are shown in square brackets, dialects in parenthesis. Superscript Arabic numbers refer to references to the vernacular names; Roman numbers refer to further information in Section 4.

  • An Analysis of Verbal Extensions in Malawian Tonga: Towards Mirror Principle and Templatic Morphology
    An analysis of verbal extensions in Malawian Tonga: Towards mirror principle and templatic morphology Chiumbo Meklit Eduardo Mondlane University, Maputo, Mozambique © July 2016 - Chiumbo Meklit The question concerning affix ordering is among the central concerns in the morphological analyses of Bantu languages, with most studies drawing insights from the theoretical underpinnings of Mirror Principle and Templatic Morphology. However, it remains debatable to a larger extent whether conclusions drawn in such studies can be extended to all languages with agglutinative morphological structures. This study was carried out to examine the structure of suffix ordering in Malawian Tonga by examining the two theories. On morpheme co-occurrence, the study reveals that causatives and applicatives being argument structure increasing suffixes should always precede other extensions which are argument structure reducing suffixes, and this is consistent with tenets of the two theories. However, there are some observable cases where prescriptions of these theories breed ungrammatical structures in Tonga. Keywords: Verbal Extensions; Malawian Tonga; Mirror Principle; Templatic Morphology 1. Introduction Verbal extension is the traditional label used for those verbal suffixes that extend or change the lexical meaning of the verb. Guthrie (1967) considers the presence of verbal extension suffixes among the main criteria to establish whether a language belong to the Bantu family or not. Suffixes that are inserted between root and final vowel and modify the meaning of the basic verb are known as verbal extensions because they extend the radical. For example, as Mchombo (2004) notes in Chichewa, the simplest radical –thyol- means ‘break’. Suffixing the causative extension –ets- to the radical derives an extended radical –thyolets- (‘cause to break’).

  • Documenting Names of Insects in Zambian Local Languages for Entomological Literature and for Use in School Curricula and Instruction
    Asian Journal of Humanities and Social Studies (ISSN: 2321 – 2799) Volume 03 – Issue 02, April 2015 Documenting Names of Insects in Zambian Local Languages for Entomological Literature and for use in School Curricula and Instruction Overson Shumba*, Warren Samboko, Edward Sakufiwa Copperbelt University, Zambia *Corresponding author’s email: oshumba [AT] yahoo.co.uk _________________________________________________________________________________________________ ABSTRACT--- Names of insects and the indigenous value of these insects are at risk of being lost without proper documentation of this resource. The purpose of this research was to document the names of insects in Zambian local languages based on a case study of Zambia’s Southern Province. Southern Province is one of the thirteen administrative provinces in Zambia and the major language spoken in the province is Tonga. Forty colour pictures of insects commonly found in Zambia and in many countries of the world were presented to participants for identification and naming in Tonga. Participants were able to identify 39 insects from the 40 pictures presented to them. With probing, participants also came up with 16 additional local names of insects that were not among the forty pictures of insects presented to them. With this, the total number of documented local names of insects from this study came to 55. The folklore associated with some of these insects in the Tonga culture was also documented. This study is significant in the development of Zambian entomological literature and in creating awareness on the importance of preserving biological diversity, heritage, and indigenous knowledge. Inclusion of locally recognizable samples such as these insects in the curriculum and in instruction is likely to increase relevance, contextualization, and motivation for learning in biological and environmental science education.
