Download or read book Loanwords in Silozi Cinyanja and Citonga written by Mubanga E. Kashoki and published by University of Zambia Press. This book was released on 1999 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Newly available outside Africa, this is a comprehensive survey of loanwords that have been incorporated into three Zambian languages, commonly known as Lozi, Nyanja and Tonga. The book gives a list of loanwords from African and European languages into Zambia's major languages. The author additionally introduces the language and linguistic environment in Zambia. Specific to the issue of loanwords, the study raises questions about whether loanwords can be regarded as integral to the language in question; and whether besides the words recorded in this study, there are other foreign lexical items that deserve equal recognition as bona fide loanwords. The author anticipates that in the longer term this kind of information will materially assist the assemblage of data that will lead to the modernisation of Zambian languages, knowledge about the languages, in their spoken and written forms as living cultures, and the prospects of their ever expanding vocabularies.

Book excerpt: Zambia is a nation with a long record of peace, that has enjoyed decades of constitutional rule, and even, in recent years, an increasingly competitive democracy.

Download or read book Historical Dictionary of Zambia written by David John Simon and published by Historical Dictionaries of Africa. This book was released on 2008 with total page 690 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In many respects, Zambia is an African success story. From a territory whose borders were drawn with minimal attention either to the ethnic geography of the day or to natural features that combined (and sometimes divided) dozens of distinct ethnic groups, rose a nation with a long record of peace that has enjoyed decades of constitutional rule, and even, in recent years, an increasingly competitive democracy. Perhaps most improbably, the country has forged a national identity. Unfortunately, peace, constitutionalism, democracy, and nationhood constantly face challenges, such as in the elections of 2006 when the ugly language of ethnic confrontation found renewed currency. Moreover, Zambia's economic record and prospects have been on the decline. After over four decades, per capita incomes are lower than they were at the dawn of independence, and 95 percent of its people live on less that $2 per day. Despite repeated efforts to diversify the economy, copper exports and foreign assistance are the main sources of the vast majority of Zambia's foreign exchange earnings. And most devastating at all, the AIDS pandemic has already lowered the average life expectancy below 40. For a country one might regard as "heading in the right direction," Zambia has a long way to go. The third edition of Historical Dictionary of Zambia, through its chronology, introductory essay, appendixes, map, bibliography, and hundreds of cross-referenced dictionary entries on important persons, places, events, and institutions and significant political, economic, social, and cultural aspects, provides an important reference on this African country.

Book excerpt: Originally published in 1978, this volume is divided into 3 parts. Part 1 presents an overview of the linguistic situation in Zambia: who speaks which languages, where they are spoken, what these languages are like. Special emphasis is given to the extensive survey of the languages of the Kafue basin, where extensive changes and relocations have taken place. Part 2 is on language use: patterns of competence and of extension for certain languages in urban settings, configurations of comprehension across language boundaries, how selected groups of multilinguals employ each of their languages and for what purposes, what languages are used in radio and television broadcasting and how decisions to use or not use a language are made. Part 3 involves language and formal education: what languages, Zambian and foreign, are used at various levels int he schools, which are taught, with what curricula, methods, how teachers are trained, how issues such as adult literacy are approached and with what success.
