Thesis (M. A.(African Languages)) --University of Limpopo, 2019
My study investigates the establishment of a family institution with special reference to Vatsonga.The study will focus on comparing the traditional with modern ways of establishing a family institution. The study aims at investigating values and principles behind strong foundations upheld by old people regarding families. The study could lay a foundation for scholars’ further investigative studies on establishment of African traditional families. The study will serve as a reference in times of family crisis for potential readers. It is going to employ a qualitative research approach where unstructured interviews will be used to engage participants with relevant information. The study will engage twelve participants (six male and six female) elderly people who have experience in traditional family establishment whose ages range from fifty-five and above. It will be conducted around Malamulele area in Vhembe District of Limpopo and it will be conducted in Xitsonga.

Abstract:
Hawaiian navigators oriented themselves without instruments by using a system based upon knowing where they came from and by having faith in the words of their ancestors. As a Hawaiian artist, I am embarking on a journey in which I orient myself in much the same way. When translated from our language, "ka wa ma mua" literally means "the time in front." However, in Hawaiian thinking, it describes the time that came before this time in which we live. In the same vein, "ka wa ma hope" literally means "the time in back" or from a Hawaiian perspective, the time which follows this time in which we live. "It is as if the Hawaiian stands firmly in the present, with his back to the future, and his eyes fixed upon the past, seeking historical answers for present-day dilemmas." (Kameʻeleihiwa, 1992) We Hawaiians view the world looking to that time that came before us because it is rich in knowledge. Looking to my ancestors and knowing the history of our people strongly influences how I view the world and contributes greatly to the forming of my relationship with it. I look to the past also to learn more about my Hawaiian identity. As a Hawaiian in today's world, I realize that part of the process requires that I engage in the task of decolonizing my mind. My thesis exhibition is an attempt to express through imagery one aspect of this decolonization. It is only one part of the process and one avenue of many through which an artist can express resistance to further erosion of our life ways. Looking to the past, recognizing that I was raised as a colonized person is one step towards better understanding the importance of my Hawaiian identity. Awareness of this part of my past is another step in the process of decolonization.

Abstract:
The title of this paper gives three variants of what historically is the same name: Koti = the present-day indigenous name of Koti Island; Ngoji = the older form of the same name; Angoche = the official name of the town, adapted from the name of the AKoti people EKoti is the language of Angoche, a town on the coast of Nampula Province, in Mozambique. EKoti is in most respects very similar to the neighbouring coastal varieties of Makhuwa, but it also has many lexical and morphological items that are derived from Swahili. My colleague F. U. Mucanheia, co-author of our forthcoming grammar of EKoti, has recorded a story about the origin of Koti Island and its people. In the present paper, I summarize the text of this oral tradition, and I compare it to the dynastic traditions from Angoche and to those found in the Kilwa chronicle, pointing out differences but also establishing links.

Full text
Abstract:
This paper discusses the problems caused by the linguistic features used by speakers as the basis of determining their social identity. The concept of identity is broad and closely related with socio-cultural and eco-spheres environment of the speakers. The speaker’s identity is determined by employing both social and linguistic features in the overall analysis. The linguistic features include the whole range of language use, from phonetic features to lexical units, syntactic structures and family names. This paper therefore argues that the speaker’s linguistic features pose some problems in determining the speaker’s identity. The first problem concerns the concepts of language and dialect which are defined differently by different scholars. The second problem refers to multilingual speakers with diversified linguistic competence, and lastly, it has been noted with concern that some speakers use artificial family names which are not from their ethnic origin, hence complicating the process of determining the identity of the speakers.

Abstract:
Watumishi wa Taasisi ya Mambo ya Kiafrika ya Chuo Kikuu cha Humboldt walipotayarisha kuhama kwa taasisi yao kutoka Reinhardtstrasse mwaka 1995, boksi la jivu ilipatikana ndani ya kabati la chuma. Ndani yake zilihifadhiwa nyaraka za Kiswahili na Kiarabu zilizoandikwa kwa hati za Kiarabu. Kufuatana na lugha na maelezo yalioyoongezwa nyaraka hizo zilitoka Afrika Mashariki na kukusanywa na Gustav Neuhaus mwishoni mwa karne iliyopita. Lengo la makala hii ni yafuatayo: kutoa maelezo machache juu ya maisha ya Gustav Neuhaus, kuzungumzia matoleo yake ili kufafanua mchango wake katika masomo ya Kiswahili mjini Berlin na katika kupanua ujuzi juu ya lugha na utamaduni wa Waswahili, kutumia mada ya utumwa kama ilivyoelezwa katika nyaraka mbalimbali za mkusanyo wa Neuhaus ili kuonyesha umuhimu wa nyaraka hizo kwa historia ya Afrika Mashariki.

Abstract:
Lugha ya Kiswahili imeenea na kukua kiasi cha kuweza kupambana na zingine katika ngazi za kimataifa kwenye mfumo wa sasa wa utandawazi. Hata hivyo, Kiswahili hakiwezi kupata fanaka inayotarajiwa huko nje iwapo hakithaminiwi na kudhaminiwa nyumbani (Afrika Mashariki). Bado lugha ya Kiswahili inakumbana na pingamizi nyingi mno; na miongoni mwa vikwazo hivyo ni mielekeo ya lugha inayobainika katika jamii. Makala hii inajikita zaidi katika mielekeo ya viongozi wa Afrika Mashariki, na wasomi wa Kiswahili kuhusu nafasi na umuhimu wa Kiswahili. Viongozi na wasomi wana ushawishi mkubwa sana kutokana na nafasi yao katika jamii. Wote wanaheshimika na kuenziwa; viongozi kutokana na mamlaka waliyopewa, na wasomi kwa sababu ya maarifa waliyonayo. Kutokana na ukweli huo, tabia na mienendo yao, pamoja na matamko yao mbalimbali yana athari kubwa sana katika jamii. Mara nyingi, watu wengi hupenda kuiga wayafanyayo; hali inayobainika pia katika matumizi ya lugha. Kabla ya kuijadili mielekeo na matumizi yao ya lugha, maswala mawili muhimu yanayochangia ujenzi wa hiyo mielekeo katika jamii yatazungumziwa: thamani ya lugha, na zoezi la kujifunza lugha ya pili.

Full text
Abstract:
Sarufi inafafanuliwa kama kanuni, sheria au taratibu zinazotawala katika viwango vyote vya uchambuzi wa lugha ambavyo ni umbosauti (au fonolojia), umboneno (au mofolojia), miundomaneno (au sintaksia) na umbomaana (au semantiki). Kuhusiana na masuala ya tafsiri, kanuni muhimu sana zinazopaswa kuzingatiwa ni zile za kiwango cha miundomaneno au sentensi. Kanuni katika kiwango cha miundomaneno, kwa jumla, huwa zinahusu uchaguzi wa maneno sahihi katika muktadha wa maelezo na jinsi maneno kama hayo yanavyopangiliwa kuunda vipashio mbalimbali vya sentensi na sentensi zenyewe. Kwa jumla, huwa kuna aina mbili za tafsiri: tafsiri halisi na tafsiri huru. Nasution 1988 hufikiri kwamba aina hizi mbili za tafsiri hukinzana.

Full text
Abstract:
For the past 150 years studies on Kiswahili language, literature and culture have engaged the scholarly attention of many researchers (Hauner 1979. In their analyses of Kiswahili literary works, however, most critical studies have, generally, tended to neglect the aspect of artistic design. Instead, the central focus has primarily been on two interlocking aspects of these works: (1) their content, values or thematic messages and (2) their cultural and socio-historical contexts (Dorsey 1988). This widespread tendency to undervalue the importance of artistic design in Kiswahili literary works is not surprising as it was largely promoted by some of the earlier European authorities who popularised the idea that Kiswahili literature `is not of literary interest´ and `that social, cultural, and historical commentary by anthologists are more relevant to this literature than literary study´ (Biersteker and Plane 1989:451). It is encouraging to see, however, that in recent years more and more scholars, like Mlamali (1980), Fiedel and Shariff (1986), Biersteker (1991) and Mbele (1996), to mention but a few, address issues of artistic design in their critical appraisals of Kiswahili literary works. This article is a modest attempt to follow their example by looking at Utenzi wa Shujaka as an object of design; how the poet has used the technical instruments of verbal craftsmanshjp in his bid to elicit an aesthetic response from his audience.

Mayevu and other translators had tried their level best to better the Xitsonga language through translation. This research pointed out in details problems which translators come across and how these problems can be overcomed. In this research, we also realised how scarce students who are doing translation are.

Abstract:
Kithaka wa Mberia (b.1956) is one of the most innovative Kenyan poets. Until now he has published four collections of poems and three plays. His poems contain a strong political and social criticism, sometimes in the form of animal allegories. He condemns various acts of violence done to women, like rapes of schoolgirls or prostitution caused by poverty. Some compositions seem life-stories of real persons, others are overtly didactic and moralizing, but in all the theme of social justice is almost obsessive. Another group of poems highlights the author’s concern with his surroundings and with the “health conditions” of the Earth in general; thus, for instance, he denounces the devastation of Kenyan soil in order to get foreign currency. His love of nature makes him address affectionate verses to animals, insects and plants. Formally the poems have little in common with the poetic tradition of the Swahili coast as they are in free verse. Kithaka exhibits a rich vocabulary of botanical and zoological terms and is fond of various forms of word-playing like chiming and punning; an important role in his poetry is played by parallelism. Moreover, he introduces into Kiswahili visual poems where typography is relied upon to perform expressive effects. Kithaka wa Mberia, together with other East African contemporary poets, proves that Swahili poetry is able to express universal themes and can reach a high artistic value even without repeating traditional models.

Abstract:
Kiswahili ni mojawapo ya lugha za Kiafrika zinazofundishwa nchini Marekani. Baada ya Vita Baridi kuisha na kuvunjika kwa muungano wa Sovieti, Marekani ilihimiza lugha fulani zifundishwe kwa maslahi ya mahitaji yake ya kiuchumi na usalama. Kutokana na kuanzishwa kwa lugha za Kiafrika katika elimu ya juu, vyuo vinavyofundisha lugha ya Kiswahili Marekani vimeongezaka kufikia zaidi ya hamsini. Katika makala hii tutaelezea ufundishaji wa lugha ya Kiswahili, utayarishaji wa walimu na vifaa, na matatizo yanayokumba ufundishaji wa Kiswahili (na lugha zingine za Kiafrika kwa jumla) kama lugha ya kigeni. Mwisho tutapendekeza njia za kusuluhisha kwa matatizo haya.

Abstract:
Sanaa ya ushairi inajisawiri kama nyenzo muhimu katika maendeleo na ukuaji wa binadamu ulimwenguni. Ujenzi wa taswira zinazowasilisha mada nyeti za kijamii ni changamoto ya kiusanii inayoibua maswala tata. Ndiposa wasilisho hili linachunguza mjadala wa usawiri wa mwanamke katika ushairi wa kisasa. Mada nyingi zinazohakiki matini za kishairi hulenga miuundo, mitindo na maswala mengineyo ya kijamii bila kuangazia swala la utata wa mwanamke. Uzingatifu wa vipengee hivi umefifisha uangafu wa taswira ya mwanamke katika ushairi wa Kiswahili kana kwamba ushairi umempuuza mwanamke kama mhusika mkuu. Tunachukulia kwamba matini za kishairi za kisasa zinahusisha mbinu na nyenzo mpya ambazo zimebadilisha sura na taswira ya mwanamke. Maswali yanayoibuka ni; Je, Mwanamke angali tata katika ushairi wa kisasa kwenye enzi ya karne ya ishirini na moja? Je, umbo jipya la mwanamke ni lipi katika ushairi wa kisasa?

Abstract:
Makala haya yanachunguza mtindo wa usimulizi katika tamthilia za Kithaka wa Mberia na kutoa ufafanuzi wake. Tamthilia zenyewe ni Natala (1997), Kifo Kisimani (Death at the Well, 2001) na Maua Kwenye Jua la Asubuhi (Flowers in the Morning Sun, 2004). Vipera vya usimulizi vinavyo-chunguzwa ni methali, nyimbo/ngoma, sauti na hadithi. Usimulizi ni mbinu ya fasihi simulizi iliyo na jadi ndefu. Kutokana na msingi huu, wa Mberia alioanisha usimulizi na ujumbe wa tamthilia zake ana¬powasawiri wahusika wake kupitia matendo yao na mazungumzo yao jukwaani. Umuhimu wa matu¬mizi ya mbinu ya usimulizi katika tamthilia teule unaonekana kupuuzwa na wahakiki wengi. Kwa hivyo, madhumuni ya makala haya ni kuangazia umuhimu wa usimulizi katika usawiri wa maudhui mbalimbali na kuthibitisha kuweko kwa matumizi ya usimulizi katika tamthilia teule. Ni makala ambayo yatawafaidi wanafunzi katika vyuo vinavyotoa masomo ya fasihi. Makala haya yanamdhihi¬risha wa Mberia kama mtunzi shupavu, anayeteka makini ya hadhira yake kwa kuiwezesha kutafakari zaidi kuhusu masuala anayojadilia tamthiliani, kwa matumizi ya usimulizi
This paper analyses narrative style in Kithaka wa Mberia’s plays. The plays analysed are Natala (1997), Kifo Kisimani (Death at the Well, 2001) na Maua Kwenye Jua la Asubuhi (Flowers in the Morning Sun, 2004). The elements of narrative style analysed are proverbs, songs/dances, voice and epic. Narrative style has a long history in oral literature. It has been integrated into written literature and thus lost its initial outlook which had led to its disregard by many analysts in the past. The objectives of this essay are to discuss narrative style in the selected plays, and to show how it functions to create empathy on the part of the reader which helps her/him to internalyse the themes conveyed. Furthermore, this essay intends to stimulate further research on narrative style in Swahili drama

Abstract:
Hiponimia ni uhusiano wa kifahiwa unaodhihirika baina ya leksimu ya jumla (hipanimu) na mahususi (hiponimu). Kama vile hipanimu mzazi hujumuisha hiponimu baba na mama. Uhusiano huu wa kihiponimia ulidhukuriwa na wanaisimu wa awali kuwa unahusisha leksimu nomino pekee. Hata hivyo, tafiti za hivi punde zinadhihirisha kuwa hiponimia huweza kudhihirika pia miongoni mwa kategoria za vivumishi, vielezi na vitenzi. Ingawa kuna midhihiriko ya hiponimia za vitenzi vya Kiswahili, wataalamu kadha wameelekea kushughulikia hiponimia za nomino na kutotilia maanani vitenzi. Hivyo basi, makala hii imechanganua uhusiano wa kihiponimia unaodhihirika miongoni mwa vitenzi teule vya Kiswahili. Katika kushughulikia suala hili, hipanimu vitenzi 24 kutoka kamusi za Kiswahili zimeteuli¬wa kimakusudi na hiponimu husika kutolewa. Nadharia ya Uchanganuzi Vijenzi kwa mujibu wa Katz na Fodor imezingatiwa katika uchanganuzi wa hiponimia hizi. Katika nadharia hii, sifa bainifu za hiponimu husika huonyeshwa kwa kutumia alama maalum za [+, -]. Data kuhusu hiponimia za vitenzi ilipekuliwa kutoka kamusi za Kiswahili kwa kuzingatia mwelekeo wa kiishara au kisintaksia kwa mujibu wa Hearst, na Snow na wenzake ili kuweza kutambua hipanimu na hiponimu husika katika sentensi. Hiponimia hizi zimechanganuliwa na kuwasilishwa kwa mtindo wa nadharia ya seti
Hyponymy is a sense relation existing between general lexemes (hypernym) and the specific ones (hyponym). For instance, a hypernym parent includes hyponyms like father and mother. The hyponymy relation was regarded by earlier linguists that it could exist only amongst nouns. However, recent studies indicate that hyponymy can also be manifested in other categories such as adjectives, adverbs and verbs. Though there is hyponymy relation existing amongst Kiswahili verbs, various scho¬lars have tended to focus on nominal hyponymy and disregard verbal hyponymy. Therefore, this article has analyzed the hyponymy relation existing amongst selected Kiswahili verbs. In this regard, 24 verbal hypernyms from Kiswahili dictionaries were purposively sampled and their specific hyponyms indicated. Componential Analysis theory by Katz and Fodor has been used in the analysis of these hyponyms. The theory focuses on distinctive features of specific hyponyms that are normally shown by the use of specific signs [+, -]. The data on verbal hyponymy was observed from the Kiswahili dictionaries by the application of symbolic or syntactic approach propounded by Hearst, and Snow et al in order to identify the hypernyms and specific hyponyms in a sentence. These hyponymy relations are analyzed and presented using the set theory style

Full text
Abstract:
L'analyse thematique de l'engagement dans l'oeuvre de ngugi wa thiong'o est etudiee a travers cinq romans et quatre pieces de theatre. Elle est enrichie par les travaux extra-litteraires (les essais et les interviews). Le travail est divise en 3 parties. La 1ere partie definit le theme d'engagement et recherche ses manifestations a travers les attitudes et les reactions telles qu'elles sont apercues au kenya dans la periode coloniale et post independance. Cela donne l'occasion a ngugi wa thiong'o de recreer des situations dans lesquelles les forces fictives ne laissent aux personnages aucun choix que de choisir chacun son cote. La 2e partie aborde la question de la langue, son pouvoir de communication et sa relation avec le theme d'engagement. Elle examine l'experience de la communication traditionnelle a travers les chansons, la danse, les proverbes. Dans le schema de communication nous y decouvrirons le nouveau public de ngugi wa thiong'o et les problemes de la publication en langue africaine a travers l'exemple de la langue kikuyu. La 3e partie etudie le role symbolique des mots, des images et des symboles. Elle examine les aspects narratifs de l'oeuvre et aborde ensuite l'etude de point de vue. Donc les personnages etudies n'ont d'autres solutions que de choisir chacun son camp. Cela apparait dans leurs prises de position a travers leurs propos et leurs actions. Leur createur n'est pas epargne car il est place dans le role civique ou il est contraint d'agir en pleine contradiction dans la situation conflictuelle de sa societe
The thematic study of commitment in ngugi wa thiong'o's work is analysed in five novels and four plays. The work is enriched by the extra-literary work of essays and interviews. We have divided it into three parts. The irst part seeks to define commitment and analyses its manifestations in the attitudes and the reactions during colonial and post independence periods in kenya. This gives to ngugi wa thiong'o an occasion to recreate fictional forces in which his characters reveal their choices as they react to the various situations. The 2nd part looks into the language issue and its communicating power in relationship to the theme of commitment. It surveys the use of the oral traditional means of communication (songs, dances, proverbs and sayings). The analysis of the schematic mode of communication introduces us to the issue of the new public of ngugi wa thiong'o and looks into the problems of publishing in an african language, the case of the kikuyu language. The 3rd part explores the symbolic universe of words, images and symbols. It surveys the art of story telling and analyses the point of view. So, most characters studied have no way out but to choose sides. This is found in their words and their actions. Their creator is not spared either for we find him playing at the civic role in the midst of contradictions and conflicts in his society

This study investigates the ambivalent traits of third world postcolonialism. Third world postcolonialism appears as an antithesis against the logical fallacy of the binary oppositions performed by the contemporary first world postcolonial theory and practice. The division between the first and the third world postcolonial aesthetics is due to their different interpretations and practices of the term 'postcolonial,' respectively.

Esta tese, assumindo a arquitetura de gramática da Morfologia Distribuída, tem por objetivo apresentar a descrição dos traços morfossintático-semânticos presentes nos contextos de emprego de -ga, marcador morfológico do Caso nominativo, e de -wa, marcador de tópico temático e de tópico contrastivo na língua japonesa. Seu objetivo específico é identificar quais os feixes de traços morfossintático-semânticos envolvidos nos diferentes contextos em que o marcador de nominativo -ga e o marcador de tópico -wa aparecem nas sentenças e quais combinações específicas desses traços geram as diferentes interpretações associadas a cada marcador. Apresentamos uma breve retrospectiva sobre a noção de caso, e tratamos do Caso abstrato e do caso morfológico, diferenciando-os. Abordamos também os traços de referencialidade e de definitude dos DPs em japonês, e estabelecemos uma relação com as noções de juízo categórico e juízo tético. Descrevemos os marcadores -ga e -wa como Itens de Vocabulário que são inseridos para indicar respectivamente o DP nominativo e também o DP foco contrastivo e não-contrastivo e o DP tópico temático ou contrastivo; apresentamos os vários traços morfossintático-semânticos que devem fazer parte do feixe de traços desses marcadores (como a exaustividade e a contrastividade) e analisamos alguns fenômenos específicos como a marcação do objeto nominativo e a alternância entre o marcador de genitivo e o marcador de nominativo nos DPs focalizados. Finalizamos com a apresentação de uma hipótese sobre o que pode ser o conjunto de regras de inserção dos Itens de Vocabulário -ga e -wa nos contextos estudados.
This dissertation, assuming the architecture of grammar of Distributed Morphology (DM), aims to present the description of the morphosyntactic/semantic traces present in the contexts of use of -ga, morphological marker of the nominative Case, and of -wa, marker of both the thematic and contrastive topics in the Japanese language. It identifies which are the strings of the morphosyntactic/semantic traces involved in the different contexts in which the nominative marker -ga and the topic marker -wa appear in the sentences and which specific combinations of such traces generate the different interpretations associated with each marker. A brief retrospective on the notion of case is presented, and the abstract as well as the morphological Cases are treated, and a distinction between them is drawn. The referenciality and the definiteness traces of the DPs in japanese are tackled as well, and it was established a relation with the notions of categorical sense and thetic sense. The markers -ga and -wa are described as Vocabulary Items that are inserted to indicate the contrastive and non-contrastive focus DP and the thematic or contrastive topic DP respectively, the morphosyntactic/semantic traces (such as the exhaustivity and the contrastivity) are presented and some specific phenomena such as the marking of the nominative object and the alternation between the genitive marker and the nominative marker in the DPs focused are analysed. This dissertation is concluded with the presentation of the set of rules of insertion of the Vocabulary Items -ga e -wa in the contexts studied.

Abstract:
The aim of this thesis was to study a worksite exercise intervention for sedentary workers in China. This involved a 10-minute Qigong exercise session twice a day. Four inter-related studies examined the development, implementation, and evaluation of this intervention. First, a feasibility study demonstrated that short exercise breaks could be integrated into the workday routine for employees with sedentary job roles. Second, a pilot study was conducted to test the intervention under research processes. Third, a waitlist controlled trial study showed increases in employees’ physical activity between baseline and post-intervention for intervention (n=193) and waitlist control (n=83) participants, but no changes in work performance or sickness absence. And finally, a process evaluation using RE-AIM framework, i.e. Reach, Effectiveness, Adoption, Implementation, and Maintenance, was conducted using data from focus groups, document analysis, and exercise log reviews. In terms of reach, the exercise intervention was successfully marketed to all employees. In terms of adoption, it was considered that organisational support to implement the intervention was good. The intervention had been implemented broadly as planned. There was high exercise acceptance, but a gradual decrease in exercise adherence through the intervention period. With regard to maintenance, there was no clear management plan to sustain the programme beyond the period of study. To the author’s knowledge, this research is the first to test the effectiveness of worksite exercise in China. It is recommended in future that such interventions focus further on the study of implementation and include outcomes more proximal to the intervention such as job satisfaction and work engagement.
