Book Synopsis The Acquisition of Swahili by : Kamil Ud Deen
Download or read book The Acquisition of Swahili written by Kamil Ud Deen and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2005-11-02 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is the first study of the acquisition of Swahili as a first language. It focuses on the acquisition of inflectional affixes, with a particular emphasis on subject agreement and tense. Other inflectional affixes are also investigated, including object agreement and mood. The study surveys the adult dialect in question, Nairobi Swahili, discussing social, phonological, morphological and syntactic properties. Data, analyses and copious examples are presented of the naturalistic speech of four Swahili speaking children. The data are tested against six influential theories of child language, and the results show that processing and metrical theories of telegraphic speech fail to account for the observed patterns, while grammatical theories of child language fair significantly better. The data and analyses presented in this book are indispensable for linguists and psychologists interested in the acquisition of inflectional material and other cross-linguistic properties of child language.

This is called agglutinating language. You will learn how to greet in Swahili, construct simple Swahili sentences while following the prescribed format, or what is called concordial agreement, and pick from a wide array of vocabulary in the minidictionary provided within the book. If you intend to visit Africa soon, lay hands on this book fast, and you will be speaking Swahili before you arrive. For those who are currently studying the language in schools, this book is a must-have.

Book Synopsis A Reference Grammar of Mbili by : Funwi F. Ayuninjam
Download or read book A Reference Grammar of Mbili written by Funwi F. Ayuninjam and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 1998 with total page 484 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A Reference Grammar of Mbili explores the major linguistic components of the Mbili language from a primarily descriptive point of view and within the cultural context of this Bantu language spoken in Cameroon. It presents a detailed and accessible account of the roots and history of the language, clearly situated within both the Niger Congo language group in general and the Grassfield Bantu language sub group specifically. The language portion begins with a descriptive introduction to the sound segments of Mbili and the methods of combining them. It then moves into the suprasegments of the language, including tone, stress, and intonation; it investigates the interaction of tone, tense, and mood, as well as the distribution of tone and intonation in Mbili. Segmental and suprasegmental phonemes are related in terms of what they require, tolerate, and exclude. The next presentation deals with the morphology of nouns and verbs. On the one hand it establishes a structural identification of the noun classes and determines a functional and semantic categorization of the classifiers; on the other hand it identifies and relates the temporal, aspectual, and modal categories of Mbili, and also studies the semantics of the verb through a case grammar analysis. Finally, the book approaches syntax through a clause and sentence level of analysis to explain the nature of sentence structure in a manner related to English sentence structure. The appendix contains a lexicon as well as traditional folk stories and their translations to convey aspects of Cameroonian culture and examples of the nature of the Mbili language.
