Abstract:

Arabization is one of the manifestations of the convergence of the Arabic language with other languages at the level of vocabulary. It is also a genius means of enriching the language. It is a unique phenomenon that enriches verbal wealth in any scientific or social field. Arabization is not a new phenomenon in the Arabic language because it was not an isolated area in the Arab nation. In pre-Islamic times, it was used for connections with neighboring nations, such as the Persians, Ethiopians, Romans, Syriacs, Nabataeans, and others. Naturally, this contact was followed by linguistic friction

The purpose of this paper is to prove that intercultural relationship and sufficient contact between Hausa and other languages result in linguistic diffusion or borrowing. The study adopts both the historical and descriptive survey research design, predicated on the need for a brief history of Hausa and the donor languages, and descriptive design to facilitate the use of secondary data generated from textbooks, theses, dissertations, seminar and conference papers. The study traces the location of Hausa people in order to vividly comprehend the nature of contact with the donor languages which e

Abstract:

Language gives identity to a people and makes them a speech community, thereby defining their culture. It is their means of initiating and propagating development; it therefore means that without language that is peculiar to a people, it becomes difficult for them to forge ahead with the development of their society. However, because language communities co-exist and their strengths and numbers are not equal, some languages that are stronger than others begin to dominate them when they come into contact or co-exist. This dominance could gradually lead to language endangerment and possibly exti

This study analyses the consonant sounds of English and Hausa languages, by identifying the similarities, differences as well as source of errors made by Hausa ESL learners. Learning of English as a second language by Hausa native speakers is usually faced with difficulties which are usually attributed to the influence of the features of their first language (L1). The Hausa speakers of English use English as a second language and features of the Hausa consonants are transferred into their spoken English.

The analysis allowed us to identify the peculiarities of the functioning of Arabic loanwords in the Swahili and Hausa languages at the contemporary stage of their development.

The similarities or differences could be in the area of phonology, morphology, syntax or semantics. A study of this nature can help in explicating reasons behind some difficulties often encountered by second language learners. It may also help in guiding teachers to understand the peculiarities of a target language, especially when the comparison is done between a foreign language and an indigenous language.

Abstract:

In essence, translation is the act of conveying a written text from one language (source language) into another (target language) without jeopardizing the meaning. However, mistranslation has become very common and problematic in the process of passing a message from one language into another especially when it involves languages belonging to different structures and systems like the Hausa and French. Many a language, unlike French, do not conjugate their verbs and have no such verb known as the auxiliary verb. There may be similarities in gender affiliations but may not accord it to objects.

Abstract:

Even though Hausa is not an indigenous Ghanaian language but it plays a very important role in Ghana’s sociolinguistics. It is the lingual franca for many people living in the zongos. Zongos are located in every major city in Ghana and they are occupied by different ethnic groups who use Ghanaian Hausa for their daily communications. Some popular and vibrant market centers in Ghana also use Ghanaian Hausa for their trading activities. However, there is no study that discusses both the features of Ghanaian Hausa and its social context. This explorative paper examines the current state of Hausa

Abstract:

Dialectology is an area of linguistics that is concerned with the studies of similarities and differences in speech forms of a particular language. Dialectologists are more interested in studying the relationship existing in speech forms of a language instead of their differences, thus, the relationship is what assists greatly in maintaining mutual intelligibility among the speakers of the same language. Scholars of Hausa dialectology have classified Hausa regional dialects into two major divisions of Eastern and Western Hausa dialects. The divisions were based on the geographical locations an
