The static and dynamic elements of Tsotsitaal with special reference to Zulu : a sociolinguistic researchNgwenya, A. V. (Alfred Vivi), 1957- 11 1900 (has links)
The aim of this dissertation is to prove that tsotsitaal is
widely spoken in the black townships and interferes with the
correct usage of standard Zulu.
Secondly, the intention is to prove that the influence of Zulu
on tsotsitaal is greater than that of any other African language.
In chapter 2 the standard language, colloquial variety and
tsotsitaal are compared and parallels are drawn between the last
two speech varieties.
Chapter 3 concentrates on the static and dynamic elements of
tsotsitaal as far as morphology is concerned.
In chapter 4, the focus is on the meaning of tsotsi words in
their social context. Words and phrases which appear and sound
like Zulu words spoken by the tsotsis, have a different meaning.
Chapter 5 is the concluding chapter. It provides reasons why
tsotsitaal is dynamic. It hints at the usefulness of tsotsitaal
and its detrimental effects are also pointed out / African Languages / M.A. (African languages)

IsiZulu traditional healers’ perspective of ukuhlonipha in contextNene, Jabulani Owen 31 January 2014 (has links)
Traditional healers are one among professionals that are viewed as the most significant people in African Society. They are accorded the highest esteem because of the role they play in saving people’s lives and promoting cultural aspects such as ukuhlonipha amasiko in isiZulu. It should be remembered that this word ukuhlonipha which means to respect, is used across cultures to maintain peace within family and society. It all depends on which culture promotes it more than others. It is sociolinguistic truism that ukuhlonipha is essentially linked to the ubuntu philosophy of African people. However, traditional healers more than other people follow ukuhlonipha culture in numerous ways, especially when they meet, being consulted and during traditional ceremonies. They serve and promote what in IsiZulu is known as ukuhlonipha, which to the uninitiated and sometimes even to the scholars of this philosophy is a mystery. It is for this reason and others that people view them as the soul of society.
This study looks at relevant sociolinguistic theories especially the politeness theory to analyze most of the hlonipha features shown by traditional healers, apprentice and people during consultation. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
