A presente dissertação tem como objetivo analisar as memórias constituídas da vida de Zuzu Angel pelos jornais Folha de São Paulo e o Globo entre 1985 a 1998. Para o referencial teórico foram utilizados conceitos da História Cultural, como representação, imaginário social e identidade. Publicações dos jornais Folha de São Paulo e O Globo que citavam o nome de Zuzu Angel entre os anos de 1985 a 1998 foram selecionadas, tendo estas sido analisadas a partir de pressupostos e contribuições do Paradigma Construcionista, que compreende que a mídia faz uma seleção dos acontecimentos e constrói a notícia, construção essa permeada pelas questões culturais e sociais dos jornais e dos próprios jornalistas. Zuzu Angel foi uma importante estilista durante o Brasil Republicano, reconhecida em âmbito nacional e internacional por apresentar uma moda “genuinamente brasileira”. Seu filho, Stuart Angel Jones (1945-1976), militante político, exerceu atividades de resistência durante o regime ditatorial, sendo preso, torturado e assassinado pelos órgãos de segurança nacional. Com o desaparecimento, posteriormente a comprovação da morte de Stuart, Zuzu Angel, utilizando-se de sua profissão e das suas influências internacionais, buscou meios de cobrar do governo brasileiro, esclarecimentos sobre o paradeiro de seu filho, no entanto, sua “luta” de cinco anos (1971-1976) encerrou-se em um acidente automobilístico, tendo os militares como os mentores. Foi construída uma memória da mãe-coragem, que enfretou um regime autoritário para ter o direito de enterrar seu filho. Na dissertação analisamos como ocorreu a construção da memória da mãe-coragem durante o período de redemocratização por meio da análise de discursos jornalíticos. Percebemos que as representações da estilista nos jornais Folha de São Paulo e O Globo não se desassociaram da ditadura militar, inclusive foram produzidas de acordo com um lugar de fala e um espaço temporal.
The present dissertation aimed to analyze the memories constituted of the life of Zuzu Angel by the Folha de São Paulo and Globo newspapers from 1985 to 1998. As theoretical reference were used concepts of Cultural History, such as representation, social imaginary and identity. Publications of the newspapers Folha de São Paulo and O Globo were selected for the research, which cited the name of Zuzu Angel between the years of 1985 and 1998, which were analyzed from the assumptions and contributions of the Constructivist Paradigm, which understands that the media does a selection of events and builds the news, construction permeated by the cultural and social issues of newspapers and the journalist himself.Zuzu Angel was an important stylist during the Republican Brazil, recognized nationally and internationally for presenting a "genuinely Brazilian" fashion. Her son, Stuart Angel Jones (1945-1976), political activist, exerted activities of resistance during the dictatorial regime, being arrested, tortured and murdered by the organs of national security. With the disappearance, later evidence of Stuart's death, Zuzu Angel, using her profession and international influences, attempted to find ways to charge the Brazilian government for clarification of the whereabouts of her son, however, her five years "struggle" (1971-1976) ended in an auto accident, with the military as the mentor. It was built a memory of mother-courage, who fought an authoritarian regime to have the right to bury her child. In the dissertation we analyze how the memory-building of the mother-courage occurred during the period of the Brazilian redemocratization through the analysis of journalistic discourses. We noticed that the representations of the stylist in the Folha de São Paulo and O Globo newspapers were not disassociated from the military dictatorship point of view ou conception, they were even produced according to a place of speech and a temporal space.

PONTIFÍCIA UNIVERSIDADE CATÓLICA DO RIO DE JANEIROA dissertação A moda de Zuzu Angel e o campo do design tem como objetivo a análise de exemplos de modelos criados pela designer de moda Zuzu Angel, confrontando-os com narrativas oriundas de diversas fontes de informação (entrevistas, material biográfico, publicações da imprensa e documentos como fotos, cartas, press releases e convites) situando, assim a sua contribuição para a moda brasileira. Por vários motivos, como a sua trágica morte, ao longo do tempo, estabeleceu-se um consenso em torno de uma narrativa mítica sobre Zuzu Angel que modelou sua imagem como símbolo da mulher corajosa, inovadora e avançada para sua época. Essa narrativa fala também de sua obra, portanto a leitura do objeto fica embaçada não só pela forma como ela modela a imagem de Zuzu Angel, mas também pelos significados que atribui à sua produção. Neste trabalho, os modelos selecionados são analisados principalmente a partir da perspectiva simbólica e para isso é apresentado um levantamento do contexto sócio-cultural, assim como uma reflexão sobre sua biografia. Este procedimento torna compreensível o desenvolvimento de sua trajetória profissional e demonstra que foi preciso a combinação de uma série de fatores tais como a formação familiar e aspectos existenciais e motivacionais para que ela se tornasse um paradigma do campo do design e da moda brasileira.
The dissertation Zuzu Angel s fashion and the field of design intends to analyze the examples of models created by the fashion designer Zuzu Angel, juxtaposing them with narratives of different sources of information (interviews, biographic material, press publications and documents such as photographs, letters, press releases and invitations) in order to contextually place her contribution to Brazilian fashion. For many reasons, such as her tragic death, a consensus has been established over the years around the mythical narrative about Zuzu Angel which has shaped her image as a symbol of the courageous, innovative and avant-garde woman of her time. This narrative also provides information about her work although the interpretation of the object is not clear, not only in the way in which it shapes her image, but also by the meanings it attributes to her work. In this dissertation, the models selected are analyzed mainly from a symbolic perspective and for that reason a survey of the socialcultural context is presented along with a reflection on her biography. This procedure explains the development of her professional trajectory and shows that a combination of many factors such as family background, existential and motivating aspects were necessary to turn Zuzu Angel into a paradigm on the field of design and Brazilian fashion.

Full textAbstract:
Dissertation (PhD)--University of Stellenbosch, 2003.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study deals with three interrelated types of information about sentences in Zulu, i.e. situation aspect or events, viewpoint aspect which includes i.a. the perfective and imperfective aspect and the contribution of the temporal location of a sentence focusing on the basic tenses. The semantic feature of temporal location has been integrated with the view of the two components in sentences i.e. aspectual situation type and viewpoint. Vendier's classification of aspectual classes formed a base from which the Zulu event structure has been discussed. The contribution of the two theories, i.e. the Two Component theory of Smith (1997) and the Event Structure of Pustejovsky (1995) which is situated within the Generative Lexicon theory of lexical semantics featured prominently in the analysis of events and states in Zulu. A conclusion has been reached that there are four situation types relevant to Zulu and distinguished from each other by different temporal features. These situation types feature basic-level and derived-level types (according to Smith (1997)). Three event types have been identified for Zulu, i.e. state, process and transition (according to Pustejovsky (1995)). Events are complex semantic objects resulting in an extended event structure. Event structure classification for Zulu is established with structured sub-event. These event structures are defined with respect to three different types of ordering relation between sub-event, i.e. temporally ordered subevents, simultaneous sub-event and temporal overlap. The event structure has been distinguished through event headedness which give rise to twelve possible constructions. The basic principles and the temporal structures underlying the Zulu tenses are viewed in relation to the moment of speech, time of the situation and the reference time in the structure of tenses as shown in the viewpoint of Reichenbach developed by Hornstein (1990). The role played by adverbs as modifiers of tense is highlighted. The behavior of bounded and unbounded sentences in relation to tense is mentioned. Regarding the expression of aspect in Zulu, a clear distinction has been established between perfective and imperfective in Zulu. The aspect appears as an inflectional category within syntax. These categories may have a maximal projection according to the X-bar theory.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie gee aandag aan drie onderling verbonde tipes inligting oor sinne in. Zulu, d.i. die situasie-aspek of die gebeure, gesigspunt-aspek wat, onder andere, die perfektiewe en imperfektiewe aspek insluit en die bydrae van die temporele lokasie van 'n sin, met die fokus op die basiese tye. Die semantiese verskynsel van temporele lokasie is geintegreer met die aanname van die twee komponente in sinne, d.i. aspektueie situasie tipe, en die gesigspunt. Vendier se klassifikasie van aspektueie klasse het die basis gevorm waarvan daan die Zulu gebeure struktuur bespreek is. Die bydrae van die twee teorië, d.i. die Twee Komponent teorie van Smith (1997) en die gebeurde struktuur van Pustejovsky (1995) wat binne die Generatiewe Leksikon teorie van leksikale semantiek geleis, is in die analise van gebeure en toestand gebruik. Daar is tot die gevolgtrekking gekom dat daar vier situasietipes relevant tot Zulu is, en daar word tussen hulle deur middel van temporele verskynsels onderskei. Hierdie situasietipes beeld die basiese-vlak en die afgeleide-vlak tipes uit (volgens Smith (1997)) Drie tipes gebeure is vir Zulu geidentifiseer, d.i. toestand, proses, en oorgang (volgens Pustejovsky (1995)). Gebeure is kompleks semantiese voorwerpe wat tot uitgebreide gebeurde struktuur lei. Die gebeurde-struktuur se klassifikasie in Zulu is met gestruktureerde sub-gebeure gevestig. Hierdie gebeure-strukture is met betrekking tot drie verskillende tipes van verhouding ordening tusen sub-gebeure omskryf, d.i. temporeel geordende sub-gebeure, gelyktydige sub-gebeure en temporele oorslag. Die gebeure-struktuur is deur kemgebeure onderskei, wat aanleiding tot twaalf moontlike konstruksies gee. Die basiese beginsels en die temporele strukture onderliggend aan die Zulu tye word met betrekking tot die spraakmoment, tyd van die situasie, en die verwysingstyd in die struktuur van tye soos in Reichenbach se gesigspunt wat deur Hornstein (1990) ontwikkel, is, beskou. Die rol wat bywoorde as modifiseerders van tye speel, word na vore gebring. Die gedrag van gebonde en ongebonde sinne in verband met tyd word genoem. Betreffende die uitdrukking van aspek in Zulu is 'n besondere onderskeiding tussen die perfektief en imperfektief in Zulu gevestig. Die aspek kom as 'n infleksionêre kategorie binne sintaksis voor. Hierdie kategorie mag 'n maksimale projeksie volgens die x-bar teorie hê.

Full textAbstract:
The figure of Shaka (c. 1780-1828) looms massively in the historical and symbolic landscapes of Southern Africa. He has been unquestioningly credited, in varying degrees, with creating the Zulu nation, murderous bloodlust, and military genius, so launching waves of violence across the subcontinent (the "mfecane"). The empirical evidence for this is slight and controversial. More importantly, however, Shaka has attained a mythical reputation on which not only Zulu self-conceptions, but to a significant degree white settler self-identifications have been built. This study describes as comprehensively as possible the genealogy of white Shakan literature, including eyewitness accounts, histories, fictions and poetry. The study argues that the vast majority of these works are characterised by a high degree of incestuous borrowing from one another, and by processes of mythologising catering primarily to the social-psychological needs of the writers. So coherent is this genealogy that the formation of an idealised notion of settler identity can be discerned, especially through the common use of particular textual "gestures". At the same time, while conforming largely to unquestioning modes of discourse such as popularised history and romance fiction, individual writers have attempted to adjust to socio-political circumstances; this study includes four close studies of individual texts. Such close stylistic attention serves to underline the textually-constructed nature of both the figure of Shaka and the "selves" of the writers. The study makes no attempt to reduce its explorations to a single Grand Unified Explanation, and takes eclectic theoretical positions, but it does seek throughout to explore the social-psychological meanings of textual productions of Shaka - in short, to explore the question, Why have white writers written about Shaka in these particular ways?

Full textAbstract:
Thesis (MA)--Stellenbosch University, 2004.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study focuses on the communicative processes of advice in isiZulu through which people aid each other with problems and stresses of daily life, including ways in which support is communicated. When friends or family members attempt to help one another with stress and problems, they frequently give advice. Within the field of pragmatics, advice is a common but potentially face-threatening response to a friend or a loved one who is upset about a problem. Consequently it is useful to identify ways a speaker may show regard for face in this kind of episode. Advice can threaten the hearer's autonomy by imposing the speaker's authority and solutions on the hearer and it can also imply criticism of the hearer's emotional reaction or handling of the problem. In this study, twenty-one advice topics, by Goldsmith (2000) that can be used in various troubles talk episodes in isiZulu have been examined. It has been found that some advice situations have more topics than others. The situation with more advice topics is the one referred to as personal. This is because people are always very keen to give more advice to people with personal problems than to people with other problems. The situations with the least number of topics are abuse and teachers, because they are very sensitive in nature. The study found that the sensitivity comes from the fact that third parties are involved. People tend to be reluctant to give advice which might lead to confrontation between the parties that are involved. In this research, the parties that are involved are learners on the one side and the parents/teachers on the other side. The other factor is that people do not want to see a parent who is abusing his/her child going to jailor a teacher who does not like a particular child losing his/her job because of the advice they gave to the learners.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie fokus op die kommunikatiewe prosesse van advies in isiZulu waardeur mense mekaar help met die probleme van die alledaagse lewe, insluitende die wyses waarop steun gekommunikeer word. Wanneer vriende en familielede poog om mekaar te help met probleme, gee hulle dikwels advies. Binne die veld van die pragmatiek, is advies 'n algemene, maar potensiële gesigsbedreigende ('face-threatening') respons teenoor 'n vriend of geliefde wat 'n probleem het. Gevolglik is dit nuttig om wyses te identifiseer waarop 'n spreker ontsag mag toon vir gesig ('face') in hierdie soort episode. Advies kan die spreker se outonomiteit bedreig deur die spreker se outoriteit en oplossings neer te druk op die hoorder en dit kan ook kritiek impliseer van die hoorder se emosionele reaksie op hantering van die probleem. In hierdie studie word een-en-twintig advies episodes van Goldsmith (2000) wat gebruik kan word in verskillende moeilikheidsgesprekke ('trouble talk') in isiZulu ondersoek. Daar is bevind dat sommige advies situasies meer onderwerpe as ander het. Die situasie met meer advies onderwerpe, is die persoonlike situasie. Die rede hiervoor is dat mense altyd meer gretig is om advies te gee aan ander mense met persoonlike probleme as aan mense met ander tipes probleme. Die situasies met die minste getalonderwerpe is 'mishandeling' en 'onderwysers' omdat dit baie sensitiewe onderwerpe is. Die studie bevind dat sensitiwiteit spruit uit die teenwoordigheid van 'n derde party se betrokkenheid. Mense blyk onwillig te wees om advies te gee wat mag lei tot konfrontasie tussen die partye betrokke. In hierdie navorsing, is die betrokke partye leerders, enersyds, en ouers of onderwysers, andersyds. 'n Verdere faktor is dat mense nie wil sien dat 'n ouer wat 'n kind mishandel na die gevangenis gaan nie, of dat 'n onderwyser wat nie van 'n spesifieke kind hou sy/haar werk verloor, weens die advies wat hulle aan die leerders gee nie.

Thesis (Ph. D.)--Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Dept. of Linguistics and Philosophy, 2012.Cataloged from PDF version of thesis.
Includes bibliographical references (p. 295-307).
In this thesis, I examine some core grammatical phenomena - case licensing, agreement, the EPP - through the lens of the Bantu language Zulu. Zulu has a number of remarkable and puzzling properties whose analysis affords us new insight on the interaction between these components. Despite a number of unusual-looking properties in the domain of nominal distribution, I propose that Zulu has a both a system of asbtract structural case and a system of morphological case. This conclusion is notable because it has long been assumed that Bantu languages lack both of these types of case (e.g. Harford Perez, 1985). Though the type of case system that I propose for Zulu is at its core similar to our current understanding of case, there are a number of differences between the case system I argue for in Zulu and more familiar case systems. In particular, I demonstrate that the positions in which structural licensing occur in Zulu are not the familiar positions of structural licensing: none of the heads that function as structural licensers in a language like English - T0, v0 , and P0 - are licensers in Zulu. The absence of licensing from these positions gives rise to a system in which case-licensing and phi-agreement have no syntactic overlap. I show that the interactions between phi-agreement and morphological case in Zulu provide a novel argument in favor of treating phi-agreement as a syntactic process. I also argue that Zulu has a novel type of morphological case: the augment vowel functions as a freely-applying case-licenser for nominal that lack structural case. The existence of such a morpheme is notable because this type of element has been explicitly ruled out by various theories (e.g. Schutze, 2001) on the grounds that it would render the Case Filter vacuous. Finally, I build on this system of case in Zulu to analyze constructions that involve a puzzling agreement pattern: complex NPs and raised subjects appear to allow optional agreement in positions where Zulu otherwise requires it. I argue that the optional agreement effect in these constructions arises from the possibility for T to agree with a CP. From these construction, we gain insight into the properties of agreement and the EPP in Zulu. Specifically, these constructions demonstrate the inadequacy of a theory of "reverse agree" to capture the patterns in Zulu and the primacy of a syntactic EPP to Zulu syntax.

Submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for B.A. Honours degree in the Department of African Languages at the University of Zululand, South Africa, 1988.The study deals with Zulu names of people as a prominent culture trait of the Zulus. It is a universal pattern of culture that every newly born child IS given a name to identify his nationality, sex and also his personality from any other human being. Although this is common in all rlatlons, each nation has its own unique concept of dOIng it. For example in western countries names are maintained and used In the family generation, that is why we always hear of Elizabeth 11, George V, King Edward VIII etc. As a matter of fact the Zulus, like other nations, follow their own concept In naming their children. With them every person has a number of different names by which he/she is known at home and In the outside world. These names include the first name (which IS given to him/her at his/her birth or a few days after birth) ,his/her clan name and also other additional names he/she acquires as he/she grows up. These names are all given from a particular point of view and sometimes with a particular purpose In accordance with Zulu culture. These names are a subject of this paper.

Full textAbstract:
A dissertation submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Arts in the Department of History, Faculty of Arts at the University of Zululand, 2018.The aim of the study is to address the inappropriate application of European concepts onto distinctly African societies. The purpose of this dissertation is twofold. Firstly, to clearly establish that the concepts of Zulu tribe and Zulu nation are not only different but also represent different epochs in the history of the Zulu people. The notions Zulu tribe and Zulu nation have interchangeably been used to refer to the same group of people. Secondly, to discuss how the concepts were used to manipulate the populace of Zulu extraction to gain advantage in the national politics of South Africa. As Europeans expanded their trade, settlement and military domination around the world. They began trying to figure out the different forms of society and culture they encountered, including writing their history. For many people in Western countries, the subject of Africa immediately called up the word ‘tribe’. The Zulu in Southeast Africa did not escape the calling. The notions Zulu tribe and Zulu nations have interchangeably been used to refer to the same group of people - the ‘Zulu’. This study delves deep into the notions and analyse how they have been used differently. The study clearly establishes that the notions Zulu tribe and Zulu nation are not only different but also represent different epochs in the history of the Zulu people. It argues that King Shaka kaSenzangakhona used his spear to embroider together a diverse collection of tribes and clans into one might cultural quilt. The study discloses that beside its colonial imposition, the term tribe does not describe the Zulu people. The term Zulu nation appropriately describes the existing Zulu nation. It argues that when Shaka united his energy in 1816 to 1828, the resultant amalgamation of the few tribes constituted the current Zulu nation. Relying on a qualitative methodology, the study uses the principle of saturation to interview participants; it also relies on archival records in addition to current literature on the phenomenon. The study argues that the notions Zulu tribe and Zulu nation were used by different people for different purposes and effects. Findings have shown that the Zulu history was also used by colonists, missionaries, the leaders of the African petty bourgeoisie, the Zulu royal family and individual novelists to serve their own ends. Such people have had their own reasons to manipulate the concepts for their advantage. The study discusses that King Shaka became a potent symbol around which potential Zulu ethnic support was mobilized. After him many colonists, missionaries, leaders of the African petty bourgeoisie, the Zulu royal family members and individual novelists have manipulated the Zulu nation to serve their personal ends. South Africa turned to be a country in which the manipulation of ethnicity was at the heart of the government’s attempts to set up control over the majority of the African population. The study concludes with a clarion call that people should stop using ethnic support for their political aggrandizement. The politicization of ethnic differences can have deep effects on whether members of different groups perceive each other as friends or foes. This does not bring about unity, but it in all cases causes division within people. This has resultant violence in KwaZulu-Natal today.

The literature, which informs this study, is on atritiiHinal study as presented by scholars of this field. From this I will use the methods suggested to study attitudes of the uMlazi matriculants towards isiZulu as a school subject. My focus is on isiZulu language, which is one of the official languages; this will then bring in the issues of language poBcy in Black South African schools. IsiZulu will then be compared with the dominant language, which is spoken by the participants of the research, and all the official languages will be investigated if they are being used. The language policy will be investigated from the colonial era up to post democratic South Africa to establish if it has changed or not. Then the new language policy is to be investigated if it is implemented or not, if not suggest how the languages could be uplifted to promote muhilingualism which is the requirement of the Language policy-act of 1996.

A dissertation submitted to the Faculty Of Arts in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree Of Master Of Arts (Clinical Psychology) in the Department of Psychology at the University Of Zululand, 2017There has been advancement of healing where mainstream western medicine is concerned. Significant progress has been made in this regard, concerning integration as well as motivation of integration of indigenous or traditional healing methods to treat psychological illnesses. Literature has advised that more work is required to ensure that the herbal medicines used to treat patients on traditional medicine conventions are utilized. The main aim of this study was to investigate the conceptualization of trauma by Zulu traditional healers. It objectives being to elicit views on traditional healing of trauma amongst traditional healers within the area of Ozwathini. A methodology of qualitative research design was applied in gathering findings for the study. A semi-structured interview schedule was adopted as a data collection tool. The sample was selected using purposive and snowball sampling techniques under the non-probability methods; the total number of which was 10. The results in the findings gathered during the data collection process indicate that there is no consensus of the definition of trauma amongst the sample of study though one must acknowledge the comprehensiveness presented in the definitions. Variations in the treatment methods included counselling and use of medicinal herbs by the traditional healers during the identification and treatment of trauma. Recommendations of the study being that observations be conducted during the treatment of patients suffering from trauma to identify the exact methods and effects associated with the treatment of trauma by traditional healers.

This thesis focuses on stress-strain analysis of the upper central incisor with applied veneer and its variations with proximal fillings and endodontic treatment. The basic materials and veneer types are introduced at the beginning. Next chapter describes the creation of geometric models of a healthy tooth, veneers and fillings. The veneer geometry model has been done in several variants, taking different thickness values, veneer ranges and used materials into account. A finite element mesh was applied to the models. The computation model was solved using the finite element method using the ANSYS 14.0 software in the Workbench graphics environment. The results of the analysis show that the composite material is more suitable for veneers placed partially in the dentin - either with proximal fillings or without them. The ceramic material is a better option for endodontic treatment. Veneers located in the enamel are not significantly affected by the choice of material and the ceramic material is more appropriate only when proximal fillings are applied.

SUMMARY The research looks and investigates on how to build a Zulu homestead and how to look after it. It looks firstly on how to move from an old homestead to a new homestead as well as the manner in which it is named. Chapter one looks at the research aims, limitations and research methods. The research gives a background on how the Zulus build their homesteads. Chapter two looks deeply on how to move from an old homestead to a new homestead according to Zulu custom. The head of the kraal invites a witch doctor to put his/her pegs called izikhonkwane at night as a protection against wizards and lightning. The research looks at how they perform it. The Zulu huts are a round-dome shaped structure made by sticking a row of saplings in a circular trench some six inches deep and about fifteen feet in diameter. The Zulu huts everywhere are built on the same plan ever disturbing the customary arrangement of huts. Chapter three concentrates on the naming of homesteads which reflect the innate’s desire for peace, good health, joy and happiness. The research looks at the Zulu customary activities that are performed during the naming of a Zulu homestead. Chapter four investigates the way in which a King’s palace is built and the difference between the King’s residence and an ordinary person’s residence. Chapter five is the investigation of the following livestock, cattle, goats, sheep, chicken and dogs. Moreover their importance in Zulu and places where they are kept at night. Chapter six deals with the way in which a homestead had a hedge around it, main gate and small gates. Chapter seven covers findings of the research, recommendations and conclusion.

M.A. (African Languages)Questions in Zulu are characterised by a diversity of structures. Existing descriptions are of a sporadic and limited nature. The purpose of the study is to give an overview of all relevant features of questions in Zulu. The approach involves an examination firstly of general phonological, semantic, morphological and syntactical features of questions in Zulu and, secondly, of the features of each lexical item of an interrogative nature. Semantically, three basic types of questions can be distinguished in Zulu namely the "mere" (or "neutral") question, the question implying doubt and specific questions. On the phonological level subtle differences in intonation indicate shifts of meaning and distinguish between statements and questions. Morphologically, the interrogative lexical items have normal features according to the morphological system of Zulu and the word classes to which they belong. Syntactically the same rules apply as for statements and the word-order is basically the same as in statements. Certain lexical indicators are characteristic of Zulu questions. The interrogative indicator can be used in all three types. Although it is a general feature, its usage is not essential. (Y)ini, on the other hand, is only used when doubt (and a presumption of a "no" answer) is present. or as specific answers. occuring classes, specific but is A variety of other interrogative items ask more questions and also expect more specific Specific interrogative lexical items although especially as nouns, belong to various word including relatives and adjectives, adverbs particles. Each of these has its own phonological and semantic features but is morphologically and semantically in agreement with the essential features of the word-class to which it belongs. Overall the Zulu language proves to have a richness in the variety of ways in which general as well as specific questions may be asked.

D.Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)The change in function of word categories is a widespread phenomenon in Zulu and can be indicated across the whole spectrum of language elements. The dynamic developing nature of the language entails that units may shift upwards or downwards within the hierarchy, resulting in their assuming either a higher or lower rank. The so-called "class prefix" of class 2a is typified as a specialised and rank shifted variant of the emphatic pronoun bona on account of its syntactic and semantic characteristics. The class prefix of class 1a has not yet completely passed through the development process from Ur-Bantu *Ta and currently shows charateristics of both copula and class prefix. Various other affixes of the noun such as, inter alia, the diminutive suffix and prefixes such as {-50-} and {~nga-} originated from former nouns and verbal stems. A 1arge degree of interaction occurs between pronouns and other word categories. The (abbreviated) demonstrative pronoun a functions as relative pronoun in establishing relative constructions. The verbal suffix {-yo} which functions in verbal relative constructions as nominaliser and with an emphatic semantic value also originated from a pronoun. A few pronouns from the locative classes may function as (auxiliary) verb stems while others serve as "conjunct ions". The distance indicating suffixes of the demonstrative pronouns, with the retention of significance, are employed in other word categori es such as adverbs and interjective demonstratives. Category shifting, therefore, also occurs on the level of morphemes. A mutual underlying composition is disclosed for all relative constructions (verbal and nominal) as consisting of the relative pronoun a as introductory member followed by a complement in the relative mood. This postulation makes provision for the occurence of a underlying copulative verb stem *-(1)i in the relative and situative moods. In the indicative the negative auxiliary verb stem -si is regarded as (underlying) part of the copulative construction. Various particle words such as the connective na and the instrumental nga, the hortative particles (m)a and A(ke), certain "conjunctions" such as uma and qede, the particles be and se and certain enclitic particles find their origin in verbs. It has been indicated within the category 'verb' that the aspectual morphemes originated in former verb stems. Certain verbs can be lowered in rank with specific morphological and semantic changes and then function as auxiliary verb stems. In certain cases the auxiliary verb stems can shift upwards in rank by morphematic elision of the concordial morpheme and be employed as autonomous "conjunctions". Adverbs are mainly derived from other word categories in that noun class prefixes function as adverbial prefixes. The adverbial prefix {ka-} is reduced to the obsolete class 13 of Ur-Bantu which contained mainly diminutive words as well as words with an adverbial significance. The morpheme {-ka} whi ch occurs in words such as kangaka originated in the demonstrative pronoun of this class, namely lakha. Ideophones show formal, semantic and syntatic similarities with verbs and are typified in principle as the complement of the auxiliary verb stem -thi.

M. Litt. et Phil. (African Languages)The purpose of this study is to supplement existing morphological and semantic descriptions of deverbative nouns in Zulu and systematically, to describe all relevant facts. The introductory chapter comprises an exposition of the problem and a survey of existing literature and viewpoints concerning deverbatives in the Bantu languages. A definition of the deverbative noun is also formulated. In chapter two deverbative endings are investigated with regard to their formal and semantic characteristics, distribution and their morphemic status. With regard to the five endings only four morphemes are distinguished, the fifth being an allomorph of one of these. Chapter three comprises an investigation of deverbative nouns with reference to their meanings and the noun classes in which they appear. Deverbatives were found in all classes with the exception of the locative classes and with a relatively sporadic occurrence in classes 11 and 14. In general the semantic features of deverbative nouns in a specific class correspond with those of other nouns in the same class, although differences also occur. Infinitive forms (class 15) appeared to have special features. In chapter four deverbative nouns which are derived from verb stems with verbal suffixes, are discussed. All verbal suffixes occur in deverbative nouns and this appears to be a general phenomenon. Research was also done to investigate whether the semantic value of a specific verbal suffix is retained in deverbatives. It appears that the semantic aspects concerned are mostly retained in the formation of deverbatives. In chapter five non-nominal deverbatives are investigated especially with regard to the great degree of similarity between ideophones and verbal stems. The conclusion was drawn that non-nominal- deverbatives in Zulu are mostly ideophones. The general tendency appears to be that ideophones are derived from a verb stem with the (often abbreviated) ideophone retaining the semantic characteristics of the corresponding verb stem.

M.A.The term locative refers to all words that have a locative meaning. They include locative nouns, i.e. nouns that belong to classes 16, 17 and 18. Locatively derived nouns, i.e. nouns to which the locative prefix and/or suffix or variants thereof have been added to convey a locative meaning, are also included. Word groups and certain nouns can also obtain a locative meaning by the addition of the locative particle or locative possessive particle. Various theories on the origin of the locative prefix, suffix and class prefixes are discussed. The word status of locatives is investigated, leading to the conclusion that locatives belong to the word class "noun". A morphological description of locative nouns as well as of the norm and variants of the locative prefix and suffix used with locatively derived nouns is provided. The morphological features of the locative particle and the locative possessive particle are discussed. As a result of the combination of locative morphemes with nouns in the derivation of locatives or particles that occur with word groups, certain sound changes occur. These changes can be organized logically and in detail by using phonological rules. In European languages the meaning of locatives is conveyed by adverbs and prepositions. The basic semantic feature of locatives is the feature [+ locality]. In certain instances it also has the feature of reference to an object. Locatives have a wide variety of possible syntactical uses, including the following: subject valence, object valence, descriptive (or adverbial) valence, complementary valence, qualificative and antecedental valence. Pronouns derived from the locative noun classes can serve as auxiliary verbs and conjunctions. In certain syntactical contexts the locative prefix can be omitted from locatively derived nouns

Submitted to the Faculty of Arts in fulfilment of the requirements for Master of Arts in the Department of African Languages at the University of Zululand, 1990.This study is a review of the Possessive in Zulu. Many grammarians that have dealt with the possessive in Zulu over—emphasised the structure of the possessive thus very often neglecting the meaning of the possessive in Zulu, and the so-called unmarked possessive. Different approaches to word identification have been discussed. The implications of the two approaches to word identification for the possessive in Zulu, namely, the conjunctive5^ and the semi- X conjunctive approach, have been discussed. The conjunctivists indicate that the possessive is one word made up of three parts, the agreement morpheme, the possessive norpheme and the possessor. e.g. i + a - urafana yomf sr. = ■' of the boy ! The semi-conjunctivists indicate that a possessive consists of two words, namely, a possessive particle and a complement- e.g. ya-umfana ' (of the boy) Possessives that are direct in manner have been distinguished by inter alia Dotee- These possessives are semantically and morphologically regular. e.g. ibhola lomfana (the ball of the boy) Some structures do not include the possessive particle and yet they do carry a possessive meaning. e.g. uyihlo (your father} There are possessives that are indirect in nature, having possessive particles, but which do not imply true possession. The noun-possessor, and the noun-possessee are thus not semantically in a true possessive relationship in an example such as the following. e.g. intalantala yomsebenzi (a lot of work) Possessives which are structurally irregular in that they contain no possessive particle, are also discussed in this study. The possessor and the posses see are in a part-whole relationship in this sentence. e.g. ngiphule umfana ingalo (I broke the boy * s arm)

M.A. (African Languages)The main purpose of this study was to investigate morphological reduplication in the word class nouns, verbs and ideophones in Zulu, and to describe them according to their formal and semantic features. An outline is given in chapter 1 of the status of the morpheme within the word morphology according to general linguistic principles, theories concerning the morpheme as well as the character or nature of morphological reduplication. According to the literature on this subject it appears that morphological reduplication performs widely, even universally. In chapter 2 attention is given to reduplication in the most important languages and dialects in the Nguni language group apart from Zulu. These languages and dialects include the following: Swati, Bhaca, Phuthi, Northen Transvaal Ndebele, Lala, Xhosa, Southern Transvaal Ndebele and Mpondo. It is found that all these languages and dialects present a common character with regard to morphological reduplication. Zulu, as the main concern of study in respect of morphological reduplication, is studied in detail in chapter 3. The word classes of Zulu are looked at according to Van Wyk's word class grouping, whilst special attention is given to nouns. It is found that morphological reduplication in Zulu nouns shows an extention of the semantic features represented in the single noun. The reduplicated forms have the semantic features of especially abundance, numerousness and completeness. The formal features of the reduplicated noun in Zulu are studied with special reference to the monosyllabic noun, the disyllabic noun and the polisyllabic noun. Their possible combination (in their reduplicated form) with a suffix as well as the formal features of the reduplicated suffix, are studied at length. In chapter 4 the morphological reduplication of verbs (in this instance also monosyllabic, disyllabic and polisyllabic stems) is discussed. The verb can be reduplicated as a whole or only partially with the semantic features of, inter alia, intensity or thoroughness. The verb can also be reduplicated in combination with a suffix with the result that the semantic feature of the suffix acts complementary to the semantic features of the reduplicated verb. In chapter 5 the morphological reduplication of ideophones is discussed. The semantic features of reduplication are characterised as intense, complete, purposeful and final. The formal features show that only disyllabic ideophones represent morphological reduplication that may be fully or only partially reduplicated.

This study is set to explore the theory of speech acts
with special reference to Zulu. This is done with the
motive of discovering the applicability of this theory to
the utterances that are issued by the speakers of this
language. Particular attention is given to the
performatives as a special kind of speech act. Their
examination reveals that in Zulu, there are acts, which
could be performed by saying something. We distinguish
between explicit and inexplicit performatives. Explicit
performatives contain a verb in their main clause which
names the act that is performed when a performative is
issued. The inexplicit performative on the other hand
does not contain this verb.
Acts that are restrained as far as the explicit
performative is concerned, would rather be expressed by
means of the inexplicit performative. Utterances such as
those that express commands, customarily make use of the
imperative, which is an inexplicit performative.
A closer examination of how performatives are realised in
Zulu, reveals that in order for the performatives to be
understood as intended by the speaker, the illocutionary
force, of what the speaker intends or means by the
issuance of the utterance in question, comes to the
surface. It is the illocutionary force which connote
that an utterance is a request, a command, a warning,
etc. Performatives can also be double-natured in function.
One performative could be a request which is intended as
an order. In this case it is the responsibility of the
addressee to use contextual information in order to
determine that which is the speaker's intention. In this
investigation, what has surfaced as well, is that one
speech act could be expressed in various different ways.
For instance, a request, could be expressed by the use of
a performative, an imperative, a question and a
statement.
Another factor which we came across in this study, and
which has a significant bearing on the performative, is
that they should comply with the conditions of felicity,
if they are to be successful and understood as intended
by the addressee.African Languages

The researcher used self-report questionnaires to access an array of information that could not be accessed through direct observations. In each family, one adolescent (n=30) and one parent (n=30) were interviewed. A standardized questionnaire gathered information regarding family composition, employment, level of education, income, age and gender of the respondent's nuclear family members. This questionnaire included an open-ended question which requested the respondents' opinion on which factors or strengths they believed helped their family through the stressful period. In addition to the use of the questionnaire, a focus group contextualized the following concepts; family, crisis and resilience. The key coping strategies used by individuals, spouses, parents and siblings were seeking help from the relatives and community members; resistant personality traits or inner strengths; spiritual support from the church and for others, ancestral belief. However, there is still a need for more research on resilience in bereaved Zulu families; promotion of peer and professional support as well as for a refinement or adaptation of the measuring instruments that were herein used.

This development is divided into the following periods: Pre-colonial, Missionary and Post-Missionary; the period under discussion is the latter. Structuralism and Semiotics are applied to one-act plays. The Semiotic approach views drama as communication: every aspect of the dramatic space is viewed as a sign conveying meaning. Pfister's approach is also applied in this study. Research undertaken in African languages in South Africa on drama thus far is also examined so as to direct the present study toward a particular need. This is done in Chapter 1. In. Chapter 2 plot development and various types of plot in oneact plays are studied to ascertain which plot type is preferred by authors of one-act plays. Character is also studied in this chapter. In Chapter 3 theme is studied to determined whether it is open or closed. Dialogue is discussed in Chapter 4. Didascalies as a sign system and their significance and function are studied in Chapter 5. The final chapter, Chapter 6, is the evaluation of one-act plays in Zulu.

Their oral traditions are based on those of the whole sub-continent, but also constitute significant innovations due to the Nguni's contacts with the Khoisan peoples and to the history that has shaped their reasoning processes. Folktales are an artistic reflection of the people's culture, history, way of life, attitudes to persons and events, springing from the observation of nature and of animal
and human, behaviour, in order to create a "culture of the feelings" on which adult decisions are based. The present research is based on the concept of a semiotic communication system whereby folktale "texts" are considered as metaphors, to be de-coded from the literary, cultural and behavioural points of view. The system is employed to produce comic
entertainement, as well as for education. A careful examination of the sources reveals the central role that observation of the open book of natural phenomena, and especially the observation of animal life, plays
in the formulation of thought patterns and of the imagery bank on which all artistic expression is based, be it in the form of proverbs, or tales, or poetry. Animal observation shows that the small species need to act with some form of cunning in the struggle for survival. The employment of tricks in the tales can be either successful or unsuccessful, and this constitutes the fundamental division of the characters who are constantly associated with trickery. They apply deceiving patterns based on false contracts that create an illusion enabling the trickster to use substitution techniques. The
same trick pattern is however widely employed, either successfully or unsuccessfully, by a score of other characters who are only "occasional tricksters", such as human beings, in order to overcome the challenge posed by external, often superior, forces, or simply in order to shape events to their own advantage. The original mould for the successful trickster figure in Kintu speaking Africa is the small Hare. The choice of this animal character points to the bewildered realization that small beings can only survive through guile in a hostile environment dominated by powerful killers. The Nguni/Zulu innovation consists of a composite character with a dual manifestation: Chakide, the slender mongoose, a small carnivorous animal, whose main folktale name is the diminutive Chakijana; and its counterpart Hlakanyana, a semi-human dwarf. The innovation contains a double value: the root ideophone hlaka points to an intelligent being, able to outwit his adversaries by "dissecting" all the elements of a situation in order to identify weaknesses that offer the possibility of defeating the enemy; and to "re-arrange" reality in a new way. This shows the ambivalent function of trickery as a force for both demolition and reconstruction. Chakijana, the small slender mongoose, is like the pan-African Hare in most respects, but with the added feature of being carnivorous, therefore a merciless killer. He makes use of all its powers to either escape larger animals, or to conquer other animals for food in order to survive. Hlakanyana, being semi-human, can interact with both humans and animals; Chakijana is mostly active in an animal setting. The unsuccessful trickster figure in Kintu speaking Africa is Hyena, an evil and
powerful killer and scavenger, associated in popular belief with witches by reason of his nocturnal habits and grave digging activities. The Nguni/Zulu innovation is Izimu, a fictional semi-human being, traditionally interpreted as a cannibal, a merciless and dark man eater. Izimu is another composite figure, prevalently corresponding to Hyena, from which he draws most of his fictional characteristics. The figure further assimilates features of half-human, half-animal man-eating monsters known in the folklore of many
African cultures, as well as the ogre figure prevalent in European tales. The
anthropophagous aspect, taken as its prevalent characteristic by earlier researchers, is a rather secondary feature. The innovation from a purely animal figure (Hyena) to a semi-human one allows this character to interact mostly with human beings, thus expressing deeply felt human concerns and fears. Trickery is the hallmark of comedy, the art of looking at life from an upside-down point of view, to portray not the norm but the unexpected. Thus the metaphors contained in trickster folktales, as expressions of comedy, are rather difficult to decode. The ambivalence, so common in many manifestations of African culture, becomes prevalent in these tales. Human tricksters, who try to imitate the trick sequence, are successful if
their aims can be justified in terms of culture and tradition; but are unsuccessful if their aims are disruptive of social harmony. Ambivalence is also predominant in "modern" trickster folktales, and in some manifestations of the trickster themes in recent literature. The trickster tradition is an important aspect of the traditions of the Zulu people,
permeating social, educational and literary aspects of life and culture. The Nguni/Zulu innovations of Hlakanyana/Chakijana and of Izimu point to the dynamic and inner stability of the culture, a precious heritage and a force on which to build a great future.Thesis (Ph.D.)-University of Natal, Durban, 1995.

Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of the Witwatersrand, Arts Faculty (Linguistics), 1987This thesis describes the segmental and tonal phonology of Zulu. The theoretical framework employed in this description is the non-linear framework termed autosegmental phonology. The claim of autosegmental phonology is that certain phonological units or segments can be thought of as existing in an ordered sequence on a separate, independent tier from other phonological units or segments. Hence tones belong to a tonal tier whereas vowels and consonants belong to a segmental tier. Syllabic structure is represented in two tiers viz, a syllable and a nucleus tier, while the phonetic content of phonological features for segments is arrayed on different tiers, viz. feature, laryngeal, manner and place of articulation tiers. The restructuring of loan words revealed a principle that regulates the co-occurrence of non-click stops within a morphological root. This principle, termed Zulu consonant harmony, stipulates one laryngeal feature specification for all such stops. The study of the phonological features needed to distinguish the natural classes and phonological processes of Zulu is supplemented by a study of syllable structure conditions - those principles that adjudicate on the well formedness of core syllables. The phonological features selected point to a natural division of Zulu segments into simple and complex segments - affricates and prenasalized stops falling under the latter, Two major phonological processes of Zulu viz, vowel coalescence and palatalization are studied in detail. The conclusions reached are that vowel coalescence is best described in terms of two rules, viz. Vowel Lowering and Vowel Deletion, The palatalization of labials adjacent to and tautosyllabic with a palatal glide is phonologically conditioned, while that of alveolars and palatalization 'at a distance1 is morohologlcally conditioned, The Zulu tonal system is described in terms of one underlying tone, viz. the high tone, with the low tone supplied by a default rule. Tonal rules are divided into phonological, i.e. those that apply to high tones and vowels only, and phonetic i,e. rules that apply to high and low tones and to vowels and consonants. Phonological rules are, in turn, divided into lexical rules, i.e. those that apply within the lexicon, and postlexical rules, i.e. those that apply after the syntactic component. The major lexical tone rules of Zulu are rules that shift or spread high tones either to the left or to the right, while two sets of postlexical tone rules are identified viz. those that apply phrase-medially and others which apply in phrase final position.

There can be few recent theatrical productions in greater need of interpretative effort than Welcome Msomi’s Umabatha. From its inception debate has raged over the cultural status of the production: was it an authentic expression of Zulu culture, or a tacky piece of ‘blacksploitation’? – to use Russell Vandenbroucke’s term. Was the production pleasing evidence of Shakespeare’s universality, a gift to the colonies returning joyfully to the motherland with interest accruing? Could it perhaps be a case of Zulu culture triumphing over Shakespeare, native invention swamping and overwhelming a colonially-imposed ‘high culture’? Was the show performing ‘Africa’ for the world and, if so, was this the way Africa ought to be represented in the twentieth century? Or were we perhaps looking at a fetishized theatrical commodity, wrenched from any authentic cultural roots, and circulating aimlessly but profitably through a globalised theatrical cosmopolis? Such speculative questions – and there are many others – have regularly jostled each other in the bulky heritage of Umabatha’s reception history. The central problem underlying this chapter is whether it might not be possible to define a basis for a more objective response to some of them, so that the issues involved no longer rest quite so slackly in the realm of mere critical opinion.

M.A.The purpose of this research is fourfold, namely to identify the different types of interrogative sentences used in Zulu; to describe the syntactic-semantic features of interrogative sentences; to point at the semantic interpretation which might be attached to specific syntactic interrogative sentences and to establish the pragmatic use of interrogative sentences. In the course of this study it became evident that the interpretation of interrogative sentences is bound to the pragmatic discourse context ...
