En dehors des langues officielles (LO) anglais, arabe, espagnol, français, portugais, qui sont les langues de l'Administration et de l'Education dans plusieurs pays d'Afrique, les langues nationales (LN) africaines sont orales et certaines d'entre elles sont en processus d'écriture. C'est le cas du swahili en Afrique de l'Est, du bambara, du fulfulde, du hawsa, du yoruba en Afrique de l'Ouest, du berbère en Afrique du Nord, et du Zulu en Afrique du Sud.

Abstract:

It is well established that the tonal system of Yoruba involves the asymmetric marking or retention of certain tones and the absence or loss of others. The behaviour of Yoruba's three tones is scalar but non-linear, with H tones being the most stable and M tones being the most unstable. In this note, it is shown that previous accounts of the asymmetries in terms of underspecification are problematic, arguing instead for the incorporation of tonal markedness directly into the formulation of faithfulness constraints.

It is also reported that the Assimilated Low Tone phenomenon, which is an indication that the delinked Low tone triggering downstep is still active in the phonology, is currently being lost in many dialects, which is

The study discovers that most of our subjects are favourably disposed to the existence of taboos and that this results in the preponderance of euphemisms and circumlocutions in Yoruba–English usage.

Abstract:

Africa's history and ecology were shaped by colonization. The European invasion of eastern nations had a significant influence on the environment. The technical advancements due to colonization have been both beneficial and detrimental to the colonized countries. The harmful consequences have prompted several researchers and African writers to conduct a critical examination of the interaction between humans and their environment in terms of race, culture, economy, power, and belonging. Ben Okri is an internationally acclaimed poet, writer, artist, and public speaker. In his trilogies The Famis

Abstract:

The problem of linguistic interpretation continues to militate against intercultural philosophical discourse, with tendencies to create translatory confusions that take only critical analysis to detect. One of such confusions is the translation of Èṣù in Yoruba theology as Satan/Devil in the Abrahamic monotheistic religions such as Christianity and Islam. Using the critical method of philosophy, this paper argues that the two entities are not the same.
