Abstract:

Noun phrase conjunction in Akan (Niger-Congo, Kwa) is performed by placing a connective between two noun phrases, but there is some variation in the forms used in the major dialects. In the Twi dialects the connective is ne, but Fante speakers may use nye or na depending on whether a comitative or a coordinative interpretation is intended. This paper focuses on the historical origins of the noun phrase connective n(y)e in Akan. It suggests that Akan patterns with other sub-saharan African languages such as Ewe, Ga, Yoruba and Hausa, which have noun phrase connectives originating from comitative verbs. This suggestion is based on the morpho-semantics of these connectives. In addition, the paper demonstrates that the origin of the connective n(y)e could be further traced to an equative copula in the language. This conclusion is based on syntactic and semantic evidence available in the language and strengthened by the cross-linguistic tendency for copula verbs to develop into noun phrase connectives in a number of unrelated languages.

Abstract:

The linguistic phenomenon of recurrence is identified in two aspects; either as a repetition of an action or a restoration to a former state. This paper examines two lexical items, an auxiliary verb san and an adverb (e)bio, which encode this phenomenon in Akan. The recurrence marker san is claimed to be the output of a grammaticalization process which has as its historical input a phonologically identical lexical verb with a restorative meaning. Even though the recurrence marker san is diachronically associated with restoration, its use gives rise to either a restorative or a repetitive assumption, in the form of an implicated premise. This assumption forms part of the context within which the utterance containing san is interpreted. Thus its function coincides with that of (e)bio, except for one particular use of the latter, associated with its occurrence at utterance-initial position. The almost identical functions of these two markers reveal the close conceptual relationship between recurrence of the repetitive and of the restorative type.

Abstract:

AbstractThis article analyzes language ideologies with regard to sign language in Adamorobe, a “shared signing community” in southern Ghana. Adamorobe Sign Language (AdaSL) is a “shared sign language,” used by all deaf people and a large number of hearing Akan-speaking people. Deaf schoolchildren from Adamorobe attend a school where Ghanaian Sign Language (GSL) is taught. Hearing interviewees have experiential knowledge that everything can be said in AdaSL, emphasise the shared roots of AdaSL and Akan, and called AdaSL “natural.” Deaf interlocutors describe Akan, AdaSL, and GSL as three distinct but equivalent languages. AdaSL is said to be a “hard” language, more pleasant to use, and more expressive than GSL, but sign bilingualism is highly valued. These findings are compared and contrasted with accounts on language ideologies with regard to other shared sign languages and larger urban/national sign languages.

Abstract:

The present paper focuses on the communicative roles of three discourse markers, na, (n)so and nanso, in Akan, a Niger Congo (Kwa branch) language. (N)so is an additive focus marker. Its use gives the addressee an indication that the (n)so-utterance ought to be processed within a parallel context provided by the immediately preceding utterance. It highlights the fact that the kind of parallel context that licenses the use of (n)so is much more lenient than is the case for the use of its English equivalent also/too. Significantly, an explanatory relation is among the inferential relations that may arise as a result of the use of the clausal coordinating connective na, a situation which is not permissible in the case of its English counterpart and. The contrastive marker nanso, much like its English counterpart but, signals that the proposition expressed in a following utterance is contrary to what is to be expected. It is suggested that specific language-internal facts ought to be recognized and accounted for within the pursuit of a general cognitive theory of utterance interpretation.

Abstract:

This paper addresses metaphorical extensions of ho, which means ‘body’ in Akan, a Ghanaian language. In Akan, as in many other languages, body part expressions and bodily functions have extended meanings that still relate to the basic sense of the words. Expressions derived from ho are used to talk about emotions and character traits, perhaps more extensively and pervasively than equivalent lexis in English. The data for this study are taken from interviews, questionnaires, an Akan dictionary, Akan literature, the Akan Bible and recorded materials from radio discussions. The paper supports claims in the literature that there is a strong relationship between people’s conceptual, environmental, and cultural experiences and their linguistic systems.

Abstract:

The paper presents a production experiment investigating the phonetic parameters speakers employ to differentiate Yes–No questions from string-identical statements in Akan, a West-African two-tone Kwa language. Results show that, in comparison to the statement, speakers use a higher pitch register throughout the utterance as a global parameter, and falling f0, longer duration and higher intensity as local parameters on the final syllable of the Yes–No question. Further, two perception experiments (forced-choice identification and gating) investigate the perceptual relevance of the global parameter and the local final parameters. Results show that listeners cannot assess the higher pitch register information to identify the mode of a sentence early on. Rather, identification takes place when the local phonetic parameters on the final vowel are available. The findings point to the superiority of language-specific cues in sentence mode perception. It is suggested that Akan uses a low boundary tone that associates with the right edge of the intonation phrase (L%) in Yes–No questions. The results are discussed from the point of view of question intonation typology in African languages. It is argued that a classification along the lines of functionally relevant cues is preferable to an impressionistic analysis.

Abstract This paper discusses Akan Advice under ethnopragmatics. It adopts persuasion, speech acts of directives and expressives, and Akan proverbs to discuss advice with the insight from Akan culture. The adviser expresses some feelings and emotions and directs the advisee to act and behave towards the benefits of the individual, the group or society. The paper taps data from participant observations and audio taped recordings at arbitrations, marriage and naming ceremonies. There is another data from Adi’s (1973) Akan literature book, Brako that covers pieces of advice on travelling, settlement and occupation. The Akan texts are translated into English and analysed. The analysis covers semantics, pragmatics, stylistic devices, and proverbs.

Abstract:

This is a two-part study that combines the study of several construction types in Akan with a psycholinguistic study. Part I is a syntactic study clause structure in Akan, interrogative sentences, resumptive pronouns and the issue of whether there is syntactic Wh-Movement in Akan. I argue that Akan is basically an in-situ language with regards to the placement of wh-words in questions. Questions with their question-words in pre-IP position are not the result of syntactic wh-movement: they are the result of the general focus marking process in the language which can affect any constituent in a sentence by base-generating it in (Spec, CP) and base-generating a resumptive pronoun (null or overt) in the corresponding argument position in the complement or comment clause/sentence. This analysis is based on such factors such as the absence of gaps, the use of resumptive pronouns even in positions such as the direct object position where movement is allowed, and the possibility of linking a wh-element into a position inside syntactic islands such as relative clauses, VP-complements, and temporal clauses. Part II deals with the acquisition of some of the structures discussed in Part I (in-situ wh-questions, the use of resumptive pronouns, and the sensitivity to the dichotomy between overt (animate) and null (inanimate) resumptive pronouns in the language). It also deals with issues of the processing of sentences involving long-distance dependencies. I argue, based on studies involving Akan and English, that islands constraints may be mimicked by processing principles though island constraints cannot be reduced to principles of sentence processing. It is suggested that a distinction should be made between parsing islands and processing islands and that while the two are not coextensive, they may overlap to a large extent in languages like English where the constraints hold, but not in a language like Akan where the constraints can be violated.

Abstract:

This article presents a situation description production experiment investigating the interaction between syntax and information structure in Akan, a tone language that belongs to the Kwa branch of the Niger- Congo family spoken in Ghana. Information structure was elicited via context questions that put the object in narrow informational focus or narrow corrective focus while controlling for the tonal structure of the target word. Contrary to the prediction that corrective focus is marked by fronting and morphological marking of the focused constituent the data suggest that the in-situ strategy is the preferred one.

Abstract:

Partant du probleme que pose l'identite de l'unite linguistique "se" en akan, (langue africaine du groupe kwa parlee au ghana) face a la variation qui caracterise ses emplois et valeurs, cette etude a pour but de montrer a travers une etude systematique de contextes d'emploi, qu'au dela de sa polysemie et de sa polyfonctionnalite : verbe ("meriter", "necessiter", "ressembler". . . ); conjonction ("que", "si". . . ); adverbe ("comme", "vraiment". . . ) etc. , l'entite "se" est la trace formelle (marqueur) d'un fonctionnement stable. Cette etude s'appuie sur la theorie des operations predicatives et enonciatives d'antoine culioli. Apres avoir mis en lumiere les proprietes constitutives du schema d'operation de "se" : conditions d'emergence, de mise en oeuvre, et fonctionnement de "se", nous montrons a travers les differentes constructions dans lesquelles "se" s'inscrit, telles que (sn1+"se"+sn2, sn+sv+"se", "se"+sn+sv, prop. 1+"se"+prop. 2, ("se" 0) prop. 1+ "a" particule + prop. 2. . . Et les contraintes qui leurs sont liees, que la variabilite de "se" est en effet le resultat d'une specification dans et par le contexte syntaxique et enonciatif de son schema d'operation. L'invariance de "se" consiste alors a marquer la reference a un preconstruit comme repere de specification. L'ouvrage se termine par une systematisation des variations interpretatives consecutives a la variation syntaxique de "se"
This thesis aims to give a unified description of the polysemous and polyfunctional unit "se" (verb : "to deserve", "to be necessary", "to resemble". . . ; conjunction : "that", "if". . . , adverb; "as", "really". . . Etc. ) in akan, a language of the group kwa, spoken in ghana. The theoretical framework is antoine culioli's theory of enunciative and predicative operations. Through a number of genuine contexts of utterance, we first bring to light the properties which constitute the schema of operation of "se", ie. Conditions calling for "se" and prerequisite to its functioning on the one hand, and the working mechanism of "se" as an operation marker on the other. We proceed to show the relationship between "se"'s schema of operation and the multiplicity of the various contextual meanings generated in varied sets of sequences such as sn1+"se"+sn2, sn+sv+"se", "se"+sn+sv, prop. 1+"se"+prop. 2, ("se" 0) prop. 1 + "a" (particule) + prop. 2. . . Clues are also provided to syntactic and enunciative constraints related to "se". We claim that the unicity of "se" consists in referring to a pre-constructed and stabilized term or relation as a locator of specification. A systemization of semantic effects resulting from the different syntactic positions of "se" is established in the last section of this work

Abstract:

Cette étude envisage la pédagogie intégrée de trois langues: l'akan, langue pratiquée par la majorité des habitants du Ghana, l'anglais, langue officielle du pays et le français, langue cible. La présentation des fondements sociologiques et psycholinguistiques de la pédagogie intégrée est suivie d'un bref aperçu du système phonologique de l'akan et de la description des systèmes verbaux de l'akan et du français. L’analyse contrastive des systèmes verbaux à partir de deux corpus (un conte et un dialogue) permet de mettre en lumière certaines divergences et convergences entre l'akan et le français dans les modalités verbales. Cette analyse donne des bases poue une prévisibilité d'erreurs. Aux hypothèses de ce travail théorique a été associée l'analyse de productions d'élèves. Les deux analyses permettent de conclure à une triple interférence: de l'akan, langue maternelle, de l'anglais, langue seconde et des phénomènes particuliers au français, langue cible. Le dernier chapitre envisage les implications de ces hypothèses en examinant, sous l'angle de la pédagogie intégrée, l'enseignement du parfait en français à des élèves akanophones. Pour obtenir l'intégration des langues dans les écoles les démarches de la pédagogie intégrée pourraient être enseignées avec profit aux futurs professeurs pendant leur formation initiale dans les établissements de formation
This study is a call for a pedagogical integration of languages in teaching students and particularly in the training of language teachers. The integrated approach developed here concerns three languages: Akan used by the majority of Ghanaian citizens, English, the official language of Ghana, and French, the target language. The sociological and the psycholinguistic bases for the pedagogical integration are discussed. A brief survey of the phonology of Akan is presented, followed by the description of the verbal systems of Akan and French. A contrastive analysis of the verbal systems based on two types of texts (narrative and conversational) enables the author to put forth the divergent and convergent phenomena noticed between the Akan and the French languages. This analysis furnishes a theoretical basis for predicting errors in the learning of French by Akan speakers. To substantiate the areas of possible errors, an error analysis of learners' productions is carried out. These two analysis lead to the conclusion that there is a triple interference in the learning of French by English-speaking Akan learners: from Akan, from English and from constructions peculiar to French, the target language. An integrated pedagogy of the perfect tense is exemplified. To obtain integrated pedagogy in schools, the research procedures and the teaching methods of pedagogical integration. .

Abstract:

Cette etude contrastive, et les implications didactiques, du twi et du francais introduit une approche bidirectionnelle contrairement a la traditionnelle approche unidirectionnelle dans l'apprentissage des langues secondes. Dans l'approche traditionnelle l'une des langues est consideree comme la langue source et l'autre comme la langue cible dans l'enseignement des langues etrangeres. Des renseignements pedagogiques ressortent de la presentation, juxtaposition et la comparaison des systemes phonologiques des 2 langues. Ainsi dans l'enseignement du francais langue etrangere des propositions sont faites pour l'acquisition des sons du francais par le locuteur du twi, et dans l'enseignement du twi pour l'acquisition des sons du twi par le locuteur du francais. A travers les analyses statistiques, segmentales, suprasegmentales ainsi que des lois des universaux phonologiques, cette etude met en evidence aussi bien des divergences que des convergences entre sons, distributions syllabiques et structures syllabiques en twi et en francais. Dans les propositions pedagogiques l'etude fait ressortir l'inventaire et tient compte des domaines de difficultes rencontrees par l'apprenant et les systemes de facilitation de transfert lors de son apprentissage des sons du twi et des sons du francais. Muni de cet inventaire, l'enseignant-correcteur averti sera en mesure d'orienter, cibler sa methode et porter son attention sur les domaines impliques afin d'apporter des solutions aux problemes detectes et eviter les erreurs prevues dans l'acquisition des sons du twi et l'acquisition des sons du ffrancais
The present study of the pedagogical implications of a contrastive phonology of akan (twi) and french adopts a bi-directional approach to second language learning. This is contrary to the traditional approach whereby only one of the languages compared plays the role of the source language and the other that of the target language. Through the presentation, juxtaposition and comparison of the phon ological systems of twi and french, pedagogical inferences are drawn. In the teaching of french as a second language pedagogical propositions are made towards the acquisition of french sounds by the twi speaker, and in the teaching of twi, the acquisition of twi sounds by the french speaker. Using statistical, segmental, suprasegmental analyses and other phonological rules, the study focuses on sounds, syllabic structures and distributions with and without correspondents in twi and french. The pedagogical propositions of the study focuses on an inventory of difficult areas and facilitation transfer systems in the learning of twi and french sounds. Armed with this inventory the well-informed teacher-corrector will be in a position to direct his attention to and focus his teaching methods on the areas concerned in order to find solutions to the detected problems and avoid predicted errors in the acquisition of twi sounds and in the acquisition of french sounds

Abstract:

Dans cet ouvrage, nous nous donnons pour tâche d’investiguer la nature et le rôle du transfert interlingual dans le traitement du passé composé et de l’imparfait en français par les étudiants akanophones du FLE, scolarisés en anglais. À la base d’un cadre construit sur les théories cognitives de Langacker (1986, 2008) et de Talmy (2000a, 2000b) sur l’aspect, ainsi que celles de Jakobson (1959) et de Catford (1965) sur l’équivalence, des données ont été collectées auprès de 57 sujets dans deux universités publiques du Ghana. Les analyses faites à l’aide du PSPP révèlent une tendance de transférer les caractéristiques aspectuo-temporelles du verbe anglais au verbe français chez les participants, menant à une mauvaise interprétation des deux temps. La connaissance de l'akan n'y joue aucun rôle. Nous recommandons que les enseignants fassent référence aux L1 lors de l’introduction des nouveaux concepts, entre autres
This research studies the nature and the extent of the challenges students face with passé composé and imparfait as regards aspect. We investigate the respective roles of Akan, an aspectual language, and of English, a more temporal language in relation to these challenges. Stratified random sampling was employed in data collection among up to 57 students Toolsemployed were interviews, questionnaires and translation tests.The data was analysed with PSPP and discussed within a framework of the cognitive theories of Langacker (1986, 2008) and Talmy (2000a, 2000b), and Jakobson's (1959) et Catford's (1965) theories of equivalence. Results show that Akanophone students of French superimpose TAM featues of English on these French tenses and thus misinterpret them. Learners' background knowledge of Akan plays no role in these operations. We recommend that teachers of French refer to knowledge of L1 in introducing new concepts

Abstract:

AbstractInterprocedural data-flow analyses form an expressive and useful paradigm of numerous static analysis applications, such as live variables analysis, alias analysis and null pointers analysis. The most widely-used framework for interprocedural data-flow analysis is IFDS, which encompasses distributive data-flow functions over a finite domain. On-demand data-flow analyses restrict the focus of the analysis on specific program locations and data facts. This setting provides a natural split between (i) an offline (or preprocessing) phase, where the program is partially analyzed and analysis summaries are created, and (ii) an online (or query) phase, where analysis queries arrive on demand and the summaries are used to speed up answering queries.In this work, we consider on-demand IFDS analyses where the queries concern program locations of the same procedure (aka same-context queries). We exploit the fact that flow graphs of programs have low treewidth to develop faster algorithms that are space and time optimal for many common data-flow analyses, in both the preprocessing and the query phase. We also use treewidth to develop query solutions that are embarrassingly parallelizable, i.e. the total work for answering each query is split to a number of threads such that each thread performs only a constant amount of work. Finally, we implement a static analyzer based on our algorithms, and perform a series of on-demand analysis experiments on standard benchmarks. Our experimental results show a drastic speed-up of the queries after only a lightweight preprocessing phase, which significantly outperforms existing techniques.

Abstract:

Aim/Purpose: The purpose of this report is to provide an understanding of cultural diversity in today’s global economy and to understand what shapes our identities and what influences our behavior. Background: Culture is the way of functioning in today’s world and it refers to the shared language, beliefs, values, norms, behaviors, and material objects that are passed down from one generation to the next. Cultural diversity helps individuals recognize and respect the stewpot of today’s world and promoting cultural diversity and cultural competency helps individuals define and respect the diversity that encompasses today. Cultural competence also helps individuals embrace values and cultural nuances that are not necessarily akin to the one’s the individual possesses. Individuals interact with others to build bridges to trust, respect, and understanding across cultures. Furthermore, diversity makes the world a more interesting place to live, as people from diverse backgrounds contribute language, new ways of thinking, new knowledge, and different experiences. Methodology: A non-systematic literature review by way of reviewing articles that were found in many of major databases under the terms “Diversity in the workplace” since the year 2010 was conducted. Findings: This study identified major findings that would help individuals shape the diversity encountered and provides an avenue toward unity.

Abstract:

The housing problem was one of the fundamental concerns of the new State that emerged after the Civil War in Spain. Different official bodies were created to this end, facing the need for reconstruction of different cities and villages and the dwelling shortage. During the 1940s and 1950s there was a progressive shift of interest from rural housing to urban housing. A series of residential projects of different nature were developed in towns and cities, modifying their urban configuration. The objective of this work is to study different public housing projects carried out during the 1940s and 1950s in the city of Jaca by Lorenzo Monclús, municipal architect of the city, regional delegate of the National Housing Institute and urban planning technician. On the one hand, the study focuses on the theoretical models and international references on which they are based, the building types, the architectural language, and the design of the urban space. On the other hand, on the adaptability of these models to the existing city structure and its planning: a 1917 extension project according to nineteenth century models, carried out after the demolition of the city walls, and revised on successive occasions during the studied period. This analysis of a local experience is part of a wider debate: that of the urban culture in Spain during the postwar period. Despite all the limitations, modern functionalist urbanism was assimilated through public housing projects and urban extensions with open edification in smaller settlements, with techniques akin to those used in larger cities throughout the country.
