D. Litt. et Phil. / Evidence from several sociolinguistic studies suggests that second language speakers' pronunciation of their target language embodies several varieties of the target language pronunciation. These varieties have developed as a result of the particular social contexts of their language learning and language use. An acquaintance with the Tsongas who speak Afrikaans as a second language will confirm this suggestion- yet no in-depth study of any repute has been done among the Tsongas in this area. The only related study in this field was carried out by Nkatini (1978)...

In hierdie mini-skripsie word daar na fantasieliteratuur in die multikulturele Afrikaans klaskamer gekyk. Die aard van fantasieliteratuur, naamlik die fabel, sprokie, volksverhaal, mite, legende en toekomsfiksie word omskryf. Die studie poog ook om die ooreenkomste wat bestaan tussen fantasieliteratuur in Engels, Afrikaans, Zoeloe en SeSotho uit te wys en om aan te dui wat die implikasie van hierdie ooreenkomste binne die multikulturele Afrikaanse klas is. SUMMARY This mini-thesis focuses on the study of Fantasy literature in the multicultural Afrikaans classroom. Different genres, ego fable , myth, folktale, fairytale, legend and science fiction will be looked at. The study will also try to look at the similarities present in the fantasy literature of English, Afrikaans, Zulu and seSotho and the implications thereof in the multicultural Afrikaans class. / Thesis (M.A.) - University of Natal, Durban, 1999.

This study probes the state of psalm-singing in the Nederduitse Gereformeerde Kerk (Dutch Reformed Church) in South Africa and Namibia during 2007-2008. First, the history of psalm-singing, from its Old Testament origin to its contemporary use in South Africa, is researched. Highlights of its development, as well as low points where congregational psalm-singing all but died out, are researched in order to establish the causes of the current situation. The essence of the study involves an empirical study to determine the frequency of use and functionality of psalms. The results of different approaches all show that to a large extent, psalms have fallen in disuse in this church and that, with the exception of only a small number of psalms, they are becoming extinct. However, in criticism against the Liedboek van die Kerk (Songbook of the Church) (2001) a number of important problems were emphasised, according to which conclusions and recommendations are made. The most prominent cause of the problem is identified as the cultural difference between the existing psalm tradition and the intelligibility of the members of the church. The reason for this problematic situation is traced back to the one-sided application of fixed norms. Based on these, research is done to determine which factors should be taken into account in terms of the receptiveness of church-goers to accommodate these norms as adaptable norms. These factors are explained, ways to apply them are discussed and recommendations are made accordingly. / Thesis (Ph.D. (Music))--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2009.
