Book excerpt: Introduction: Shona or chiShona is the most widely spoken language in Zimbabwe after English. It is also generally understood by most people living in parts of western Mozampique (Tawara & Tewe dialects), northern South Africa and eastern Botswana (Kalanga & Venda dialects), and southern Zambia (Tonga dialect). The standard or mostly spoken Shona dialect is the Karanga, but each Zimbabwean province speaks it's own distinct dialect as shown below: Manicaland speaks Manyika and Ndau dialects. Masvingo and Midlands speaks Karanga/Kalanga and Venda dialects. Mashonaland East speaks Zezuru dialect. Mashonaland Central and Mashonaland West speaks Korekore dialect. Matebeleland North and South speak Ndebele, but understand standard Shona. Harare and Bulawayo metropolitans have people who speak all Shona dialects. Concept: Are you dating or married to someone from Zimbabwe? Does one of your parents speak Shona but you don't? Have you always wanted to learn Shona but can't find the right book? Have you tried learning Shona before but simply gave up? Do you already speak Shona but would like to improve your grammar knowledge? Do you dislike learning Shona by only memorizing phrases? Do you want to surprise your Zimbabwean friends and in-laws with some Shona phrases? Were you born or lived in Zimbabwe but somehow missed the opportunity to learn Shona? If you answered "YES" to any of these questions, then this book is for you. This book's concept is designed such that it makes Shona easy and fun to learn. It not only covers the most important elements of learning Shona, but also explains to you it's logic and the rules (grammar) clearly. Most chapters conclude with some usage examples or phrases to reinforce the rules and give you some Shona speaking ability immediately.

Download or read book Shona Dialects written by Emmanuel Sithole and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-08 with total page 100 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study is a scientific study of Ndau to establish, from a purely linguistic point of view, whether or not Ndau is a dialect of Shona. For the purposes of advancing an objective and coherent argument it comparatively examines lexicological, phonological, syntactic and semantic aspects of Ndau and Mainstream Shona. The study explores the historical connections between the Ndau and the Shona people. It argues that the Ndau people were originally members of the ancient Rozvi Kingdom. It also establishes cultural and linguistic contacts between the Ndau and the Nguni people. This historic contact, as widely reported by linguists and historians tremendously contributed towards Ndau's linguistic divergence from Mainstream Shona, hereafter referred to as MS. This divergence is reflected through massive lexical, phonological and semantic differences between Ndau and MS. It portrays massive lexicological differences between Ndau and MS. Phonological aspects such as phonotactics, laterality, clicks, aspiration and ejection are also depicted as showing the influence of Nguni on Ndau.

Download or read book Shona Sentential Names: A Brief Overview written by Jacob Mapara and published by African Books Collective. This book was released on 2013 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book draws on the case of the Shona and other Bantu people of Africa to argue that names are not mere identity tags. Names are an important cultural symbol of the people who give and bear them. The book challenges linguists and other social scientists to pay particular attention to the significance of names in the study of language use in society. Equally, it demonstrates the importance of names as part of the distinctive repertoire of Shona cultural heritage. Each Shona sentential name is a statement about that reality of being Shona. Carried in each name are sentiments that reflect on prevalent social, economic and political relations. The book focuses in particular on social names, religious names and war names inspired by such events as Zimbabwe's war of liberation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The influence of the learner's mother tongue on the use of a second language has long been of interest within applied linguistics. Whilst most studies have focused on the sentence level, contrastive rhetoric has broadened this area of investigation to the levels of discourse and text. This study explores and applies the approach to written English and Shona of Shona native speakers in Zimbabwe. It is both theoretical and practical, highlighting the importance of multi-dimensional andnon-evaluative analytical frameworks, and providing information for second language teachers and learners.

Book excerpt: This collection of essays on Zimbabwean literature brings together studies of both Rhodesian and Zimbabwean literature, spanning different languages and genres. It charts the at times painful process of the evolution of Rhodesian/ Zimbabwean identities that was shaped by pre-colonial, colonial and post-colonial realities. The hybrid nature of the society emerges as different writers endeavour to make sense of their world. Two essays focus on the literature of the white settler. The first distils the essence of white settlers' alienation from the Africa they purport to civilize, revealing the delusional fixations of the racist mindset that permeates the discourse of the "white man's burden" in imperial narratives. The second takes up the theme of alienation found in settler discourse, showing how the collapse of the white supremacists' dream when southern African countries gained independence left many settlers caught up in a profound identity crisis. Four essays are devoted to Ndebele writing. They focus on the praise poetry composed for kings Mzilikazi and Lobengula; the preponderance of historical themes in Ndebele literature; the dilemma that lies at the heart of the modern Ndebele identity; and the fossilized views on gender roles found in the works of leading Ndebele novelists, both female and male. The essays on English-language writing chart the predominantly negative view of women found in the fiction of Stanley Nyamfukudza, assess the destabilization of masculine identities in post-colonial Zimbabwe, evaluate the complex vision of life and "reality" in Charles Mungoshi's short stories as exemplified in the tragic isolation of many of his protagonists, and explore Dambudzo Marechera's obsession with isolated, threatened individuals in his hitherto generally neglected dramas. The development of Shona writing is surveyed in two articles: the first traces its development from its origins as a colonial educational tool to the more critical works of the post-1980 independence phase; the second turns the spotlight on written drama from 1968 when plays seemed divorced from the everyday realities of people's lives to more recent work which engages with corruption and the perversion of the moral order. The volume also includes an illuminating interview with Irene Staunton, the former publisher of Baobab Books and now of Weaver Press.
