A Constraint-based Analysis of Obligatory Contour Principle in Anaang Morphological Constructions
The obligatory contour principle forbids identical consecutive features in the underlying representation. This work undertakes a description of the Anaang tonal structure, the tonal behaviour of compounds and reduplicates in the language, bearing in mind their sensitivity to the OCP and the environments that trigger the adherence. An adapted Ibadan wordlist of 400 Basic Items (Trial) English version was used via interview for data collection from…
Nigerianism in Nigerian English
The study discusses the structure of Nigerian English with a view to examining the influence of Nigerian indigenous languages on this variety of standard English. Data for the analysis were obtained from twelve respondents selected from each of the three major national languages, namely; Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba. This study was carried out using a case study design. Oral test by reading three different texts, and observation were used as instrument…
Acoustic Analysis of Obstruents in Some Igbo Dialects
The study examines two dialects of the Igbo language, namely Aro and Mgbo, and analyses the acoustic structure of its obstruents as spoken by native speakers. This study sets out to, among other things, identify the obstruents which occur in the dialects, characterise these obstruents, analyse the acoustic properties, and find out the manner of relatedness of the obstruents in the two dialects. Four adult respondents (two for each dialect) aged b…
A Constraint-based Analysis of Morphological Processes in the Ibibio Language
This paper is on a constraint-based analysis of morphological processes in Ibibio (Lower cross language of Niger Congo: Nigeria). The study seeks to determine the phonological processes that condition and restrict the position of an affix while specifying where an affix may appear in a string of affixes; examine the influence of a morphological form on the phonological conditions that regulates affix placement in the Ibibio language, as well as d…
Componential Analysis of ‘Gbá’ Verbal Complex and Its Relevance in Second Language Teaching
This work examines the componential analysis of the gbá verbal complex in Igbo. It investigates the complex verb gbá in order to find out the basic components of the verb in Igbo thereby arriving at its lexical meaning. The paper adopts the theory of componential analysis for the analysis of data. The data used for the study were elicited through informal interview and the researchers’ intuitive knowledge as native speakers. The study found out t…
The impact of audio-lingual and TPR methods in teaching Igbo to L2 learners
This study evaluates the value of the total physical response (TPR) method for teaching Igbo to L2 learners. Specifically, it evaluates which of these methods is more effective. It is quantitative research which adopts the experimental design. 100 students are placed in control and experimental groups of 50 students each, taught Igbo lexis and structure, and evaluated. Data analysis, by using the independent samples t-test at a 0.05 significance …
Computer-Assisted Instruction and Language Learning
This article examines the effectiveness of computer-assisted language instruction using Mavis Computel’s English–Yoruba talking books and pen. Using a developmental design, 21 children, aged 10, from highly educated Yoruba families were divided into an experimental and a control group. The groups were subjected to a study session in the same venue and at the same time but in different classes for three academic terms. Both groups wrote the Yoruba…
Reading habit and use of electronic media by junior secondary school students in Nsukka Local Government of Nigeria
The study investigated reading habit and the use of electronic media by 3-6-6 JSS students in Nsukka Local Government in Nigeria. Using questionnaire and focus-group discussion as instrument of data collection, the study showed that students have positive attitudes to both reading and electronic media but spend more time engaged with use of electronic media especially television. Their purposes of reading were primarily academic and informational…
The Suffixation Processes in the Morphology of Tiv Verbs
Understanding the suffixation processes of Tiv requires understanding the tonal system, as tones are pivotal to word realisations. This article examines the internal structure of Tiv verbs as well as the suffixation paradigm and the possible phenomenon of tone as a morpheme. The Item-and-Arrangement (IA) and Item-and-Process (IP) models serve as theoretical guides for the analysis of the data. The study observes both regular and irregular pattern…
Knowledge of phonotactic constraints in Yoruba
This paper examines the phonotactics of Yoruba with a view to identifying both the combinatory possibilities and un-allowed sound sequences in the language. The paper adopts a descriptive method for data analysis. In examining the combinatory possibilities of vocalic and consonantal sounds, the Ibadan wordlist of 400 basic items (compiled by Ayo Bamgbose) was used via oral interview and tape recording to identify the possible syllable structures …
Linguistic analysis of the structure of Yoruba numerals
This article analyses the structure of Yoruba numerals and their derivation. Data are collected from the compilation of Yoruba numerals and observation of its use coupled with the researcher's intuitive knowledge of the language. The work dwells on the existing literature on numerals too. The author adopts a descriptive method in analysing the data. The work looks at the roles of affixes in realising odd numbers, multiples of 20, centenary, bicen…
