I should not let it go. v ABSTRACT This dissertation informs about the value of the flora, fauna, and, gender differences in Matengo names and address terms. It specifically informs about the naming act by reviewing the objects used, time for naming, necessary conditions for naming, and people involved in the naming act. It further informs how personal names are drawn from flora and fauna. The dissertation is furthered into a description and discussions of the gender markings on the use of personal names. Data were obtained from eight (8) wards of the Mbinga District, namely Kipapa, Maguu, Kitumbi, Mikaranga, Litembo, Langiro, Mpapa and Nyoni. Qualitative approach was employed in which 75 Cimatengo speakers participated in the study through interviews and focus group discussions. Analysis of the information obtained from the field reveals that Cimatengo naming and personal names portray political and social values of the society, family history and identity. Further, analysis revealed that each surname in Matengo has substitute names for males and females to mark gender. There are limitations and norms on the use of Cimatengo personal names which all Cimatengo speakers are subjected to adhere to convey respect to each other. However, the Cimatengo personal names are used along with Christian names. The domains of use of Matengo personal names are used in homes and market settings while the Christian names are used in formal settings, like in schools and public offices. Deliberate initiatives are recommended to educate the new generations to understand the values of traditional names as a way to protect and preserve culture. vi TABLE OF CONTENTS DECLARATION AND COPYRIGHT ......................................................................... i CERTIFICATION ....................................................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEGMENTS ............................................................................................. iii DEDICATION ............................................................................................................. v ABSTRACT ................................................................................................................ vi TABLE OF CONTENTS ........................................................................................... vii LIST OF TABLES ...................................................................................................... xi LIST OF FIGURES ................................................................................................... xii LIST OF APPENDICES ........................................................................................... xiii LIST OF ABBREVIATIONS ................................................................................... xiv CHAPTER ONE ........................................................................................................ 1 INTRODUCTION ...................................................................................................... 1 1.0 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 1 1.1 Background of the Problem ................................................................................... 2 1.2 Statement of the Problem ....................................................................................... 3 1.3 Objective of the Study ............................................................................................ 4 1.3.1 General Objective................................................................................................ 4 1.3.2 Specific Objectives.............................................................................................. 4 1.4 Research Questions ................................................................................................ 5 1.5 Significance of the Study ....................................................................................... 5 1.6 Scope of the Study ................................................................................................. 5 1.7 Chapter Summary................................................................................................... 5 CHAPTER TWO ....................................................................................................... 6 THEORETICAL FRAME WORK AND LITERATURE REVIEW ................... 6 2.0 Introduction ............................................................................................................ 6 2.1 Theoretical Framework .......................................................................................... 6 2.1.1 The Speech Act Theory ....................................................................................... 6 2.1.2 The Descriptive Theory of Proper Names .......................................................... 7 2.2 Review of the Literature Related to the Study ....................................................... 8 2.3 Naming Act ............................................................................................................ 8 vii 2.4 Gender Differences in the Use Personal Names .................................................

A model of identification has been set up principally by applying Guthrie's comparative techniques and results to Matengo (N13), a Bantu language spoken in Southern Tanzania, After a background description to the languages involved here and a brief treatment of some of the theories generally held on Lexical Borrowing, in which Swahili loans of non-Bantu provenance have mostly been employed, regular and irregular (skewed) reflexes of Common Bantu ’starred' forms in Matengo have been abstracted, and the skewed reflexes examined to determine whether or not the forms involved are loan suspects.

  • The Classification of the Bantu Languages of Tanzania
    i lIMFORIVIATION TO USERS This material was produced from a microfilm copy of the original document. While the most advanced technological means to photograph and reproduce this document h^i(^|eeh used, the quality is heavily dependent upon the quality of the qriginal submitted. ■ The following explanation of techniques is provided to help you understand markings or patterns which may appear on this reproduction. I.The sign or "target" for pages apparently lacking from the document photographed is "Mining Page(s)". IfJt was'possible to obtain the missing page(s) or section, they are^spliced into the film along with adjacent pages. This may have necessitated cutting thru an image and duplicating adjacent pages to insure you'complete continuity. 2. When an.image.on the film is obliterated with li large round black mark, it . is an if}dication that the photographer suspected that the copy may have moved during, exposure and thus cause a blurred image. You will find a good image of the page in the adjacent frame. 3. When a map, drawing' or chart, etc., was part of the material being V- photographed the photographer ' followed a definite method in "sectioning" the material. It is customary to begin photoing at the upper left hand corner of a large sheet and to .continue photoing fronTleft to right in equal sections with a small overlap. If necessary, sectioning is continued, again — beginning below the first row and continuing on until . complete. " - 4. The majority of usefs indicate that the textual content is, of greatest value, ■however, a somewhat higher quality reproduction could be made from .'"photographs" if essential to the understanding of the dissertation.

This system is a two-year rotation that includes a short-term grassland fallow. The field lies fallow without cultivation during the early rainy season at the first year. The grasses are cut down and the dry shoots are gathered up in lines forming a grid on the field that is then covered with topsoil in a square. The ridges form the grid, thereby producing many well-ordered pits over the whole field. The pit can function as a buffer and controls run-off by allowing rainwater to stand. Although the pit may break if the precipitation of an intense rain is beyond the capacity of buffer, the ridges are protected con- sistently because the water in pit can be efficiently led downward along the buried shoot bun- dles in the soil. At the beginning of the next rainy season, maize is sown on the ridges.

  • Intensive Cultivation and Environment Use Among the Matengo in Tanzania
    22-2/2 03.4.8 4:16 PM ページ73 African Study Monographs, 22(2): 73-91, July 2001 73 INTENSIVE CULTIVATION AND ENVIRONMENT USE AMONG THE MATENGO IN TANZANIA Masahiko KATO Graduate School of Asian and African Area Studies, Kyoto University ABSTRACT This study focuses on the agro-ecological background of an intensive cultiva- tion system called ngolo, which has been practiced for over 100 years among the Matengo people in southern Tanzania. The ngolo system is highly sustainable, as it both conserves soil and water and matures the soil; moreover, the high productivity of this system allows for a steady food supply to the Matengo. The other cropping systems in Matengo agriculture, which are closely related to ngolo, economically support farmers. For example, coffee culti- vation provides cash to support the local economy, and it also enables farmers to purchase chemical fertilizers. These fertilizers are applied to ngolo fields in the highlands, where fields cannot be left fallow because of high human population densities. Immigrants from the high- lands to the woodlands practice a normal ridge system of cultivation called mitumbila, and a slash-and-burn cultivation called matema/malala. These systems are the initial stages in the process of creating suitable soil conditions for ngolo cultivation, and they are major sources of income in new villages where coffee trees are too young to be harvested. Emigrants have succeeded in maintaining ngolo cultivation, even in underpopulated vil- lages, although the cultivation system was originally conceived and sustained under condi- tions of high population pressure. The system is able to conserve land in new villages that experience similar natural conditions, such as hilly landscapes and intense rainfall.
