This book was released on 2011-03 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book explores children s acquisition of Shona morphology, in particular the acquisition of grammatical morphemes. The book describes how the morphology of Shona-speaking children develops. Of key interest is how they acquire inflections and the strategies they adopt. The findings of this study show that nouns and verbs are first produced in the form of content words without the grammatical morphemes (GMs) then they occur with a vowel that is part of the target GM. The final stage of the development of GMs is when children produce words that are similar to adult words. There is evidence of overgeneralisation of the plural morpheme (ma-). This book also reveals the order of acquisition of some GMs. A noteworthy feature of the children s speech is the number of productive GMs that they could handle. The findings in this book contribute to the areas of morphology and child language acquisition of Bantu languages in general and of Shona in particular. The data that are gathered in this book could also be used in studies of other aspects of the acquisition of Shona such as that of syntax.

Download or read book Causative Constructions in Shona written by Victor Mugari and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2012 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book has been written for readers with an interest in Bantu linguistics for which Shona is an examplar. It mainly discusses issues of Bantu morphology, syntax and semantics. Heard-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG), the theory of analysis employed in this book has made it possible to offer an analysis of Shona grammar, exposing the interface relations that obtain from causative constructions. The book provides insights into causativisation as a lexical phenomenon, tracing the developments in the study of causatives universally and locating where Shona stands as far as the study of causative constructions is concerned. The book has a unique approach to Bantu grammar, blended within the theoretical prowess of the non-transformational HPSG as a linguistic formalism. The book provides a platform for researchers with interest in interface relations, particularly the syntax-semantics interface that obtain from complex predicates, to which causative constructions belong.
