PhD (Xitsonga) / Ehansi ka Senthara ya M. E. R. Mathivha ya Tindzimi ta Afrika, Vutshila ni Ndhavuko / Ndzavisiso lowu wu wela ehansi ka dyondzonkulu ya semantiki, naswona wu kongomana ni kholokhexini eka Xitsonga. Ndzavisiso wu xopaxopa swivulavulelo swa maendli yo vulavula hi ku dya ku kuma tipatironi ta tikholokhexini leti humelelaka nawona ni tinhlamuselo leti humeseriwaka erivaleni hi tipatironi toleto. Xikongomelo xin’wana i ku kuma ntsengo wa tinxaka ta tikholokheti leti talaka ni leti nga taliki ku humelela na maendli yo vulavula hi ku dya. Eka ndzavisiso lowu ku tirhisiwa thiyori ya “Norms and Exploitations” leyi tshuriweke hi Hanks (2004). Thiyori leyi yi hlamusela leswaku rito i tshaku eka kholokhexini, kambe ku nga ri eka xivumbeko xa vulongoloxamarito. Mahungu ya ndzavisiso lowu ma hlengeletiwile hi ku tsavula swivulavulelo swa Xitsonga leswi vulavulaka hi maendli yo dya ku suka eka matsalwa ya vatsari lava landzelaka: Ntsanwisi, H.W.E.

Mahungu ya ndzavisiso lowu ma xopaxopiwa hi ku tirhisa nxopaxopo wa patironi ya khophasi (Corpus Pattern Analysis) leyi eka yona nhlamuselo ya rito yi fambelanisiwaka ni matirhiselo ya rona eka tipatironi ta tikholokhexini. Ndzavisiso lowu wu tlhela wu xopaxopiwa hi ku tirhisa nxopaxopo wa maavelo ya ntsengo (Quantitative Distributional Analysis) ku kuma tipatironi eka ntsemakanyo wa xiyimo xa nkoka xa swa tinhlayo ta tikholokhexini ta marito lama valangiwaka. / NRF
