Book excerpt: Igbo Syntax is a comprehensive guide that delves into the intricate workings of Igbo grammar, offering readers a deep understanding of how phrases and sentences are constructed in the language. From the foundational concepts of syntax to the advanced principles of transformational grammar, each chapter of the book provides a thorough exploration of the key elements that shape Igbo linguistic structure. The beginning chapters introduce to readers the basic units of Igbo syntax, including words and clitics, laying the groundwork for a comprehensive understanding of the language's grammatical framework. It then proceeded with exploring word order typology and syntactic categories, gaining insight into the different types of word groups and the hierarchical structure of Igbo sentences. Through practical exercises, learners develop proficiency in identifying and analyzing the syntactic components of Igbo language. The middle chapters focus on the lexicon and phrasal categories, examining the diverse range of noun phrases, adjective phrases, and prepositional phrases found in Igbo discourse. Readers learn how these phrasal categories contribute to the overall structure and meaning of sentences. Toward the end, readers delve into Igbo phrase structure rules, transformational grammar, and grammatical functions, gaining insight into the underlying principles that govern sentence formation and communication in Igbo.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study focusses on affixation and auxiliaries in Igbo, drawing on data mainly from Onicha (Onitsha) Igbo. It identifies prefixes, suffixes, interfixes, circumfixes, super/suprafixes, extensional suffixes and auxiliaries in the variety of Igbo studied. The work is presented in two sections: Section 1 discusses affixation, while Section 2 is focused on auxiliary verbs. Section 1 contains five chapters. Chapter 1 is a general introduction that provides some background information regarding O? ni?cha [make sure this word is correct i.e. represented in the spelling of the language, and not just Onicha] Igbo and the speakers of the lect. Chapter 2 an overview of affixation as an important word formation process in world languages. Chapter 3 is the morpho-syntactic analysis of inflectional affixes. Chapter 4 discusses the morphosyntactic characteristics of derivational affixes, while Chapter 5 is concerned with the morpho-syntactic as well as the semantic charateristics of verbal extensions in Igbo. Section 2 is a sole chapter which discusses in a systematic manner the different types of auxiliary verbs, their uses and the effect of their co-occurrence with perfective verb forms.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: La comunicazione interculturale è il filo rosso che attraversa quasi tutti i contributi di questo volume. Negli ultimi venti anni tale nozione è stata esplorata e, più recentemente, rivisitata in una prospettiva ELF in diverse aree di ricerca come, ad esempio, la comunicazione strategica d’affari, la consapevolezza interculturale, l’insegnamento delle lingue, la formazione docenti, i discorsi socioculturali, così come gli stessi studi interculturali. Scopo di questo libro è fornire ai lettori una selezione di articoli recenti e stimolanti, nonché contribuire alla fiorente crescita di pubblicazioni su ELF. Il libro è diviso in tre parti, che coprono tre temi principali: 1) ELF, insegnamento delle lingue e la formazione dei docenti; 2) La comunicazione in contesti migratori e plurilingui; atteggiamenti e interazioni; 3) ELF nel mondo degli affari e in quello universitario. Il volume contiene ventiquattro capitoli scritti da studiosi e ricercatori che hanno partecipato al Convegno Internazionale ELF6, svoltosi a Roma presso l’Università Roma Tre nel 2013. I contributi si fondano sulle presentazioni da loro fatte in occasione di tale convegno.

Download or read book Functional Categories in Igbo written by Obiamalu, Greg Orji and published by M & J Grand Orbit Communications. This book was released on 2016-02-22 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This study discusses functional categories in Igbo within Noam Chomsky’s Minimalist Program (MP). Chapter 1 includes the introduction of the concept of functional categories and why they take central place in the study of syntax, as well as an overview of the Minimalist Program (MP). Chapter 2 discusses some historical antecedents to MP. It further discusses the economy principles of the MP as well as the place of functional categories within the overall conceptions of the MP model. Chapter 3 discusses five functional categories: Agreement, Tense, Aspect, Negation and Determiner. In chapter 4, the Igbo functional categories within the verbal domain: Tense, Aspect and Negation are discussed. Chapter 5 is an application of the theoretical issues raised in Chapter 2 to the analysis of the functional categories discussed in Chapter 3. One interesting issue discussed in Chapter 5 is the role of tone in realising some of the functional categories in Igbo. Chapter 6 discusses the functional categories within the nominal domain with much emphasis on the determiner. A revised version of the author’s doctoral thesis, some of the conclusions are revolutionary, relevant to debates in the linguistic theory and in Igbo studies in particular, as well as serving as an introduction to MP.
