Sociolinguistic variation in spoken and written Sesotho : a case study of speech varieties in QwaQwaSekere, Ntaoleng Belina 30 June 2004 (has links)
This work has taken the region of Qwaqwa as a case study. Through this study, the researcher attempted to join in the debate around language varieties that occur as a result of contact between different language groups. To achieve this objective, the factors that have an impact on Sesotho spoken in the Qwaqwa area and, in particular, in schools, have been assessed.
The researcher provides a broad and general picture of the language situation and patterns of language use in the Qwaqwa area. A brief overview of the geographical description, historical background and economic development of Qwaqwa is given. Some of the linguistic phenomena that play a role in language variation in this area fall under the spotlight.
Language contact, i.e. language and dialect, regional and social dialect, the use of language and the impact of language contact between languages is discussed. Patterns and the extent of language contact and the resultant effects of interference, codeswitching and borrowing as well as the processes and points at which these processes occur are identified.
The major similarities and relationships between spoken and written Sesotho, as used by learners in Qwaqwa schools, is highlighted with the discussion focussing on the linguistic description of the similarities and relationships between the two forms. / African Languages / (M.A.(Afican Languages))

An investigation into lemmatization in Southern SothoMakgabutlane, Kelebohile Hilda 01 1900 (has links)
Lemmatization refers to the process whereby a lexicographer
assigns a specific place in a dictionary to a word which he
regards as the most basic form amongst other related forms. The
fact that in Bantu languages formative elements can be added to
one another in an often seemingly interminable series till quite
long words are produced, evokes curiosity as far as lemmatization
is concerned. Being aware of the productive nature of Southern
Sotho it is interesting to observe how lexicographers go about
handling the question of morphological complexities they are
normally faced with in the process of arranging lexical items.
This study has shown that some difficulties are encountered as
far as adhering to the traditional method of alphabetization is
concerned. It does not aim at proposing solutions but does point
out some considerations which should be borne in mind in the
process of lemmatization. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)

study problem, aim of the study, rational of the study, significance of the study, study
methodology, and literature review.
Chapter two covers the analytic study of discourse at mošate looking at the use of
figurative speech patterns such as idioms, proverbial utterances as gestures of speech in
control by the domain, purpose, and setting.
Chapter three covers politeness and related gestures of speech as used by Northern
Sotho language speakers during gatherings at mošate and other discourse conventions.
Chapter four covers the study of Sešate as a restricted code as opposed to elaborate code
and its appropriateness, discourse theories and the purposefulness of Sešate.

The morpheme Le in Northern Sotho : A linguistic analysisSejaphala, Makoma Doncy January 2010 (has links)
Thesis (M.A (African Languages)) --University of Limpopo, 2010 / This study focuses on the morpheme le in Northern Sotho. It is sometimes confusing to establish the correct semantic function which the morpheme le expresses; and also to classify it into a certain word category. This study suggests the morphological features which the morpheme le bears in terms of its word categorization. The morpheme le in Northern Sotho can be used as a conjunction, a demonstrative pronoun, an agreement, a preposition, a copulative, an adverb and a complement as well. It is suggested in this study, ways of identifying the semantic function of the morpheme le in various contexts. This study reflects that the morpheme le in Northern Sotho can be used to denote: possession, accompaniment, location, additive focus, existentialism and honorifics.
