Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2018 in the subject African Studies - Linguistics, grade: A, , language: English, abstract: This research strives to contrast the consonant phonemes, vowel phonemes and tones of Ibibio and Igbo in order to describe their similarities and differences. It adopted the descriptive method, and relevant data on the phonology of the two languages. They were gathered and analysed within the framework of CA before making predictions and conclusions. Ibibio consists of ten vowels and fourteen consonant phonemes, while Igbo is made up of eight vowels and twenty-eight consonants. The results of contrastive analysis of the two languages showed that there are similarities as well as differences in the sound systems of the languages. With the assumptions of Contrastive Analysis Hypothesis (CAH), these differences may constitute learning problems to the learners of either language, while similarities may facilitate learning. The paper predicts issues and proffer solutions to helps teachers as well as learners tackle these difficulties. Nigeria is a densely populated country with many languages. The 21st edition Ethnologue data listed 509 indigenous living languages for Nigeria. Among them are Hausa, Igbo and Yoruba, which are recognized as the three languages spoken by the three major ethnic groups. Speakers of these different languages usually come in contact in areas of endeavour such as tourism, trade/ business, education and even in hospitals and law courts. So, learning an additional indigenous language apart from one’s mother tongue is necessary, though these languages may be similar or different in their sound inventories and structures. It is in view of this that this research intends to look at the sound systems of Ibibio and Igbo, with specific attention to segmental phonemes (consonants and vowels) and tones. Ibibio is a tonal language spoken in the South-South region, predominantly in Akwa Ibom and Cross River States, and it is spoken by about four million people. Igbo is one of the four official languages of Nigeria and is a member of the VoltaNiger branch of the Niger-Congo family of languages. It is spoken in Nigeria and Equatorial Guinea by about 25 million people. In Nigeria, it is spoken in the South Eastern part of the country in states like Abia, Enugu, Delta, there are numerous Igbo dialects some of which are not mutually intelligible, but the standard written form of Igbo is based on the Owerri and Umuahia dialects, and has been in use since 1962.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book documents the intricate and diverse use of indigenous knowledge systems (IKS) in the yam and coco yam-based traditional farming systems of Igbo people in southeastern Nigeria. It highlights the significance of IKS in optimal and sustainable resource use in farming activities. It shows the role of IKS in the selection of planting and breeding materials; cultivation, tending, and harvesting of crops as well as in the protection, marketing and consumption of crops, animals and their products. The book elucidates the intricate web of inter-relationships between the farming system and the daily lives and livelihood of Igbo people by interrogating the pellucid synergy between their sociocultural and socioeconomic aspirations and the exigencies of the farming system.

Book excerpt: Seminar paper from the year 2017 in the subject History - Africa, grade: 1, course: Cultural history, language: English, abstract: It is an undisputed historical fact that the British colonized the present day Nigeria, Igboland inclusive. This piece is an attempt to study the British-Igbo intercourse during this period. As is customary of all intercourse of whatever character, it is a two-way traffic. The finding of this study validated the fact that Igboland gave away more than it received in terms of customs and traditions, as especially pronounced in the political and judicial institutions which had long served the Igbo prior to the advent of the British.
Download or read book Nigerian Languages Literatures Culture and Reforms written by Ndimele, Ozo-mekuri and published by M & J Grand Orbit Communications. This book was released on 2016-04-30 with total page 728 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The papers in this volume were selected from the Silver Jubilee edition of the Annual Conference of the Linguistic Association of Nigerian (LAN) which was held at the Nigerian Educational Research and Development Council (NERDC), Abuja, Nigeria. The Silver Jubilee edition is dedicated to the father of Nigerian Linguistics, Professor Emeritus Ayo Bamgbose. Professor Emeritus Bamgbose was the first indigenous Professor of Linguistics in Nigeria, and the first black African to teach linguistics in any known university south of the Sahara. He was there from the very beginning, and together with co-operation of people such as the late Professor Kay Williamson, he nurtured Nigerian linguistics. He is not just a foremost Nigerian linguist, but also a most famous, respected, celebrated, distinguished, and cherished African linguist of all times. To be candid, Nigerian linguistics is synonymous with Professor Emeritus Bamgbose. In 58 well-written chapters by experts in their fields, the book covers aspects of Nigerian languages, linguistics, literatures and culture. The papers have not been categorized into sections; rather they flow, hence there is some overlapping in the arrangement. The book is an essential resource for all who are interested to learn about current trends in the study of languages, linguistics and related subject-matters in Nigeria.
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.
