It is apparent that it is impossible to mention them all by names in this very limited space, but I feel obliged to single out some of them. First and foremost, I would like to express my earnest thanks to Allah (S.W) the almighty whose blessings and mercies gave me power and courage to complete this study. I am grateful to my beloved parents, Mohammed Ali Khatib (my father) and Maryam Hassan Miraji (my mother) who brought me up and educated from standard one to this level. I am also indebted to my entire siblings, especially Mr. Kassim Mohammed Ali who supported me both spiritually and materially during the whole period of my course. Moreover, I am deeply grateful to Pavu Massoud Bakar (my dear wife), Mohammed and Ummukulthoum my beloved children for their patience. I also thank the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training of Zanzibar for a permit to join the course. Indeed, I would never forget my headmaster, Mr. Mussa Kinole Mussa, as well as my colleagues at work for their tolerance and prayers. In addition to that, I would like to thank the staff of the Department of Foreign Languages Literature of the University of Dodoma for admitting me for post graduate studies. Special thanks and appreciation to Dr. J. M. Biseko, for his glorious supervision as well as invaluable advice to me throughout the whole period of this study. I, really, appreciate all his constructive comments and guidance which helped me to complete this thesis. iv Furthermore, my heartfelt appreciation to fellow MA students in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literature of the University of Dodoma whom we shared ideas and helped each other tirelessly in making sure that each one fulfills his or her dream. My gratitude also goes to all professors and doctors for their contribution in and out of my programme that ultimately led to my success. I will never forget all my primary and secondary teachers as well as my age and class mates in all stages whom I greatly enjoyed their warm cooperation both socially and academically. May Allah bless them all! My appreciation also goes to my close friends, Massoud Machano and Omar Abdalla who opened all doors, acted as my guides and gave me a great support during a very hard period of writing this dissertation. To you all, I say thank you so much and may God bless you forever. Finally, I would like to state that all errors are, of course, entirely mine and I, alone is responsible for them. v ABSTRACT The study analyzed the use of slang among youth speakers of the Makunduchi Dialect in the South District of Unguja. It, specifically, examined the morphosyntactic features of the slang used by the youth of the Makunduchi Swahili Dialect. It analysed the reasons for youth‟s use of slang and, finally, described the attitudes of the Makunduchi society towards the use of slang. The study employed qualitative approach to obtain the data from 94 informants who were sampled through simple random sampling technique. Data were collected through non participant observation, focus group discussion, Semi-structured interviews and questionnaire survey. The analysis of the collected data revealed that the morphosyntactic features of the youths‟ slang are exhibited in the nouns, phrases and sentences. Furthermore, the study revealed that the prevalence of slang among youths is influenced by the need for social identity and solidarity, excluding others and the need to simplify communication. Analysis of the gathered data also revealed that there are three different perspectives about the use of slangs in the study area; a large group of people view it as an ordinary scenario without any morally and spiritual effect. The second group argues that it is a good use of language which should be encouraged because they contribute much to the expansion of language. The last group, which of course consists of a few people, believes that the use of slangs destroys the dialect and may be the source of misbehaviors. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS CERTIFICATION ........................................................................................................ i DECLARATION AND COPYRIGHT ........................................................................ ii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................ iii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS ........................................................................................ iv ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................... vii LIST OF TABLES ....................................................................................................... x LIST OF FIGURE ....................................................................................................... xi LIST OF APPENDICES ............................................................................................ xii LIST OF ABRRIVIATION ...................................................................................... xiii CHAPTER ONE: INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY ..... 1 1.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 1 1.2 Background to the Problem .................................................................................... 1 1.3 Statement of the Problem ....................................................................................... 5 1.4 Research Objective................................................................................................. 6 1.4.1 Specific Objectives.............................................................................................. 6 1.5 Research Questions ................................................................................................ 6 1.6 Significant of the Study .......................................................................................... 6 1.7 Scope of the Study ................................................................................................. 7 1.8 Chapter Summary................................................................................................... 7 CHAPTER TWO: THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK AND LITERATURE REVIEW ..................................................................................................................... 9 2.1 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 9 2.2 Theoretical Framework .......................................................................................... 9 2.3 Literature Review ................................................................................................. 12 2.3.1 The Term Slang ................................................................................................. 12 2.3.2 Reasons that Encourage Youths to use Slangs .................................................. 14 2.3.3 Attitude of the Society towards the Use of Slang ............................................. 20 2.3.4 Empirical Literature Review ............................................................................. 22 2.4 Synthesis of the Literature and Knowledge Gap.................................................

Remembering the Dark Years (1964–1975) in Contemporary Zanzibar Marie-Aude Fouéré French Institute for Research in Africa (IFRA), Nairobi, Kenya In the islands of Zanzibar (Unguja and Pemba), the memories of violence and repression perpetrated by revolutionaries and the state from 1964 to 1975 have long been banished from the public space. The official narrative of the 1964 Revolution and the first phase of the post-revolutionary periodi developed and propagated by the Revolutionary Government of Zanzibar, through a control over the production, transmission, and circulation of ideas, combined with repressive measures against dissenting voices, led people to keep their memories private. The official injunction calling for silence did not bringabout a forgetting of the past, but rather contributed to the clandestine transmission and reconstruction of fragments of individual, familial, and community memories within private circles.

For one year 16 students worked together on the topic of informal settlements and tried to answer the question how to provide basic infrastructure in those settlements. Besides this, one aim of the project was to reflect the German understanding of plan- ning and to get an impression of the completely different conditions in which planning has to take place in developing countries. During the work the project dealt with prob- lems of urbanisation in developing countries and the inability of the government to re- spond to it.

Hon. Asha Abdallah facilitating ‘Gender Issues for Women in Leadership Roles. Panoramas Women: ‘A dynamic experience’ Children: ‘Get to know my Stone Town’ Village: Mwaka Kogwa Pemba: Bulfight Ziff Journal 2006 93 The Women’s Panorama: A Dynamic Experience By Aida Ayers his year’s panorama focused on encouraging women to explore themselves and discov- er the special qualities that make them the individuals that they are. We celebrated the differences among women in an effort to allow them to see that all women have unique Tand special gifts allotted them. We encouraged women to step away from what they perceive as their role and explore new ways of seeing themselves and celebrating their womanhood. Our approach to making this happen was holistic, that is, creating a balance between mind, body and soul. We all have skills, talents and information that we can share with others to pro- mote growth and it begins with caring for and accepting ourselves as we are, or changing those things about ourselves that are not conducive to positive growth. There is a direct link between how women see themselves and what they achieve. A posi- tive self image is the beginning to understanding all that we are capable of accomplishing. With so much attention placed on how the ideal woman should look and act, women tend to forget that genetics have a huge role in determining who we are and how we look, not every woman is supposed to wear a certain size of clothes or have a flat belly, and we certainly can- not stay young forever.

  • Standard Swahili” Jordan Mackenzie
    CONCEPTUALIZING AND DOCUMENTING DERIVATIONS FROM “STANDARD SWAHILI” JORDAN MACKENZIE repudiation to the notion of Zanzibari Swahili as a monolith, as I encountered intense variation in the dialects of Swahili present on this relatively small island of 950 square miles. Per the political and economic hegemony of the capital, Stone Town, and history of movement of the people living around it, a standard “Stone Town” Swahili has emerged and I found little variation in the area around the capital. However, the extremes of the island, mainly Nungwi in the north, the island of Tumbatu, and the villages of the southeastern coast demonstrated an incred- ible range of diversity and divergence from the alleged “standard,” in sounds used, into- nation, and word and sentence formation. The gold mine of my entire trip was a short field trip to Makunduchi, whose local dialect, Kimakunduchi, is popularly considered on the island to entail a distinct language. My future plans entail comple- menting existing documentation of this interesting dialect (if not indeed a sepa- rate language altogether) and seeking to In the course of my research present in the Swahili employed in and implement a printing press or story telling this summer I traveled to main- around Arusha, as in any linguistic context collective that could serve as an inadvertent land Tanzania and the main in Swahili-speaking East Africa. language revitalization project. island of the archipelago called My recordings in Arusha, and later Zanzibar (Unguja in Swahili) to Dar es Salaam, aimed to pinpoint the status Jordan MacKenzie is a recent MA graduate in make recordings of the speech of l/r variation, a phenomenon whereby linguistics.

  • Preliminary Assessment of Coastal Management Initiatives in Zanzibar
    Tanzania Coastal Management Partnership Preliminary Assessment of Coastal Management Initiatives in Zanzibar Farhat Mbarouk, Jeremiah Daffa, Tom Bayer and Siddharth Kamalia ICM Technical Group 2003 Working Document: 5076TCMP A joint initiative between the National Environment Management Council, the University of Rhode Island/Coastal ResourcesCenter and the United States Agency for International Developement 1.0 INTRODUCTION The Zanzibar archipelago comprises of two main Islands, Unguja and Pemba, and 50 other smaller islets. Some of the smaller islands are habitable while most are devoid of human settlements. Unguja and Pemba cover 1,464 and 868 sq kms respectively. The islands of Zanzibar are situated between 5-6 degrees South and 40 degrees east in the Indian Ocean. According to the 2002 census the current population is estimated to be around 985,000 people with a distribution of 623,000 and 362,000 for Unguja and Pemba respectively. Table 1 summarizes the population distribution in Unguja and Pemba. The climate of the Islands of Zanzibar is highly influenced by the monsoon wind regime. As for the Island of Unguja the environment is divided into four main ecological zones: the none-arable coral rag land of the east, the deeper fertile soils of the west, the coastal and marine zone and the urban area which lies within the coastal zone. The coastal region is of critical importance to Zanzibar. Over half of the nation’s population lives in coastal villages and town (Map 1). The coastal zone provides most of the natural resources that its population relies upon for sustenance. Most coastal inhabitants engage in fishing, mangrove woodcutting (for cooking, construction purposes, and sale), subsistence farming, coastal thicket harvesting and livestock keeping.
