Abstract:

Background: The uniqueness of fingerprints have made it possible for anthropologist to carry out studies on ethnic differences, heritability and linguistic relationships among individuals. The study aimed at investigating and comparing fingerprint patterns of the Itsekiri and Urhobo ethnic groups in Warri, South Southern Nigeria. Methods: A total of 30 males and 30 females each from the Itsekiri and Urhobo tribe were investigated. Fingerprints of participants were obtained with a Hewlett placard G4010 fingerprint scanner.

Abstract:

Often times, music has been seen as an art form which embodies and boasts a lot of rich socio-cultural experiences and expressions. More so, is the Urhobo music which embodies so many cultural values that are impalpable yet so much cherished. It is observed that the traditional music of the Urhobo, which includes the Urhobo Disco music by Okpan Arhibo, is used in various socio-cultural contexts such as burials, in-law greetings, marriages, birthday and naming ceremonies, amongst others.It is the concern of this paper, therefore, to investigate the effectiveness of the role of the radio in broa

This paper examines negation and types of tense negation in Urhobo. It also identifies negation marker(s) and the manner in which these negation marker(s) are used in sentences. Transformational generative grammar theory of analysis was used in the work. The aim of this study is to determine the syntactic characteristics of negation in Urhobo. The study shows that negative construction in the Urhobo language involves the doubling of the last vowel of the last word in sentences; or what may be called the lengthening of the last vowel of the lexical item in the sentence.

Two topics in the front burner of contact linguistics are bilingualism and code switching.

Abstract:

Urhobo, a South Western Edoid language of the Niger-Congo family, is spoken in Delta State, Nigeria. In the synchronic phonology of the language, there are seven surface vowels: [i, e, E, a, J, 0, u], but the behavior of some vowels, especially e, 0, G, is sometimes at variance with their expected vowel behavior, indicating that there may be abstract underlying vowels */r, v, ;)1 which have merged with Ie, 0, EI. The result, when compared with sister languages such as Degema and Isoko, is that the Urhobo system appears quite complex. The focus of this paper is showing that abstract underlying

It adopts a sociological interpretation of the phenomenon of religion among the people against the backdrop of blind followership (opium).

Abstract:

This paper posits that every language is characterized by linguistic codes needed by speakers for their security, identity, and social stability in today’s doubtless several security issues. In Urhoboland, such codes manifest in spoken and extra-linguistic forms with varying degree of meanings to different people at various times and places. The paper explores, among other conceivable objectives, some salient linguistic codes which the forebears of the Urhobo people did not pass on the younger generations as well as their translatability.

Abstract:

The Esaba people in the Ughiẹvwen kingdom of Urhobo were conscious of indigenous deities and religious myths as the oldest, most powerful, and most integral form of seeking protection and provision from Osonobrughwẹ (God) for a day-to-day living before the new beliefs occasioned by modernisation, education, Christianity, civilisation, technology, quest for liberation and laziness have led to the abandonment, negligence, swap, and modification of the once cherished practice (Darah, 2016:45). Nevertheless, palm nut collectors still profess the ideology of sustaining the religious ideals and valu

Abstract:

Texts, either written or spoken, are of varying types and serve different functions, including serving as a means of socially influencing people through underhanded tactics. In the present study, patterns of how the language used in social media-based political discourse reflects psychological manipulation tendencies on the part of netizens are examined. The goal is to investigate the psychological manipulation types and functions embedded in the texts. The study draws on insights from the perceived role that Facebook posts, comments, replies, and reactions had in the approval of the Urhobo La

Several forms of performance arts are underutilized for in the past few decades and the Urhobo riddles are not left out. This paper therefore examines various methods of preservation and transfer of riddles in traditional society. This study adopted the survey-descriptive approach as the data and information were collected from natural environment and analysed. It is underpinned by Sigmund Freud’s psychoanalytic theory that focuses on the unconscious mind of people as the storehouse of latent materials which can be activated and brought to the conscious awareness.

Abstract:

This study presents a comparative phonological analysis of the numeral systems in Urhobo and Ẹdo, two closely related Southwestern Edoid languages spoken in southern Nigeria. The primary aim is to identify and analyse both shared and language-specific phonological processes involved in the formation of cardinal numerals, with particular attention to processes triggered during numeral compounding. Drawing on data elicited from native speakers, the study employs a descriptive-comparative method complemented by the theoretical framework of Autosegmental Phonology, which allows for the representat
