Assigning ‘sacred’ meaning to songs: A pragmatic perspective
This paper examines how Protestant faithful select songs they deem worthy of being performed during church services. It is premised on the hypothesis that, in addition to its text, pitch, rhythm and dynamics, the sacredness of a song depends on the context of its production. The data were collected in a parish of the Eglise Evangélique du Cameroun in the town of Maroua, Cameroon, through a questionnaire. The results revealed that the most recomme…
Question tags in Cameroon English
Although English is one of the two official languages in Cameroon, it is seldom used out of official circles where indigenous languages, French, and Pidgin English reign supreme (Jikong & Koenig, 1983).

Therefore, it was hypothesized that the first language group to come in contact with the mother mission society of a religious variety is likely to remain the major group in the ch…
