Principles of task-based course design for a Zulu second language course on socialization for businesss peopleGokool, Roshni 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2004. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The concept of exploring principles for designing a Zulu language learning course for
business people stemmed from the need that there is not enough course material
available for learners wanting to learn a second language. The preliminary component of
the thesis is based on the theoretical framework for language learning theory advanced by
Naam Chomsky, which is theory-driven and derives from an in-depth analysis of the
properties of languages in an effort to determine the highly abstract principles of grammar.
This study reviews the different definitions of second language learning and teaching
employed by various linguists, for example, Cook, Odlin and Sharwood-Smith. It presents
the different kinds of grammar explored in the analysis of a second language. Following
the discussion of principles of grammar, a broad definition of the term 'universal grammar'
(UG), is explored and how this UG model relates to views on teaching of Zulu, is identified.
The thesis demonstrates the relation between second language learning and language
teaching and the influence that UG has on language teaching. It will be argued that the
theory of Chomsky and the knowledge of second language acquisition is suitable as a
framework for language teaching because it incorporates the essence of second language
learning that may be useful to a second language educator.
Finally, this study will present the principles of task-based course design which will be
followed by a discussion of the types of syllabuses required for the construction of
communicative Zulu tasks.
It is hoped that the conclusions arising from this study will assist in the development of
research material and teaching aids for second language Zulu task-based courses, thus
providing the field of second language teaching with efficient and successful language
teachers and researchers. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die konsep van die ondersoek van beginsels vir die ontwerp van 'n Zulu
taalvaardigheidskursus vir sakemense het ontstaan uit die behoefte aan gepaste
onderrigmateriaal vir Zulu-tweedetaal onderrig aan die sakemense. Die
aanvangskomponent van hierdie tesis is gegrond op die teoretiese raamwerk vir
taalaanleer soos voorgestaan deur Chomsky. Die Chomskiaanse teorie van taalkennis is
ontwikkel uit 'n in-diepte analise van die eienskappe van taalkennis ten einde die hoogsabstrakte
beginsels van taal te bepaal.
Die studie bied eers 'n oorsig van verskillende definisies van tweedetaalleer en -onderrig
soos aangewend deur verskillende taalkundiges soos Cook, Odlin en Sharwood-Smith.
Daar word 'n bespreking gegee van die verskillende sieninge van die aard van grammatika
in tweedetaalonderrig. Na die bespreking van die beginsels van grammatika-onderrig in
tweedetaalleer en -onderrig word die implikasies van die Chomsky se Universele
Grammatika benadering beskou vir die tweedetaalonderrig van Zulu.
Die tesis ondersoek ook die verband tussen tweedetaalleer en -onderrig en die invloed
wat Universele Grammatika op taalonderrig het. Daar sal aangevoer word dat die UG
teorie van Chomsky en die verband daarvan tot tweedetaalonderrig gepas is as 'n
raamwerk vir tweedetaalonderrig omdat die essensiële beginsels van tweedetaalleer wat
bruikbaar kan wees vir die taalonderrigpraktisyn.
Die studie sal, laastens, die beginsels van taakgebaseerde kursusontwerp ondersoek, wat
gevolg sal word deur 'n bespreking van die tipes sillabusse benodig vir die konstruksie van
kommunikatiewe take in Zulu.
Die gevolgtrekkings wat voortspruit uit hierdie studie kan bydra tot die navorsing van
tweedetaalonderrig vir Zulu en die ontwerp van taalonderrigmateriale vir taakgebaseerde
kursusse vir Zulu. Hierdeur kan 'n bydrae gemaak word tot die lewering van bekwame
navorsers en taalonderrigpraktisyns vir Zulu tweedetaalonderrig. / IQOQA ZULU: Umqondo wokuhlela izifundo zesiZulu zomabhizinisi wavezwa isidingo esikhombisayo
ukuthi akukho obekulotshiwe maqondana nabafundi bolimi Iwesibili. Ingxenye yokuqala
yophando igxile esakhiweni senqubo Iwazi yokufunda nokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
eyaqhutshwa nguNoam Chomsky, eqhutshwa yinqubolwazi futhi isukela ocwanigweni
olunzulu zezilimi emizameni yokuthola imigomo enzulu yohlelo lolimi.
Lolu cwaningo luhlola izincazelo ezehlukene zokufunda nokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
ezisetshenziswa abahlaziyilulimi esingabala kubona, uVivian Cook, Terence Odlin kanye
noSharwood Smith. Lwethula izinhlobo ezehlukene zohlelo lolimi ezihlolwa
ekucwaningweni kolimi Iwesibili. Kulandela izingxoxo ngemigomo yohlelo lolimi, incazelo
ebanzi yetemu 'Universal Grammar' (UG) iyahlolisiswa nokuthi lemodeli ye-UG
isetshenziswa kanjani esiZulwini.
Loluphando lukhombisa ubudlelwano phakathi kokufundwa nokufundiswa kolimi Iwesibili
nomthelela omuhle kumbe omubi we-UG ekufundiseni ulimi. Kuzobhekisiswa ukuthi
inqubolwazi kaChomsky nolwazi lokufunda ulimi Iwesibili kulungile yini ukuba yisakhiwo
senqubo yokufundisa njengoba luhlanganisa ingqikithi yokufundisa ulimi Iwesibili
okungenzeka ukuthi ayijwayelekile kumfundisi wolimi Iwesibili.
Okukugcina, lolu cwaningo luzokwethula imigomo yezifundo ezihlelelwe phezu
komsebenzi othile kuyolandelwa ukuxoxisana ngezinhlobo zamasilabhasi ezidingekayo
ukuhlanganisa imisebenzi yesiZulu yokuxhumana.
Kuyathembakala ukuthi iziphetho eziyovuka kulolucwaningo ziyosiza ekuthuthukisweni
kwezinto eziwusizo ophandweni kanye nezinsiza kufundisa zolimi Iwesibili zezifundo
ezihlelelwe phezu komsebenzi othile wesiZulu, kanjalo bese ziletha kulendima

Nominal inflectional categories of TshivendaNekhumbe, Mudivhani Gilbert 12 1900 (has links)
Thesis (DLitt)--Stellenbosch University, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This study explores the four nominal inflectional categories which are
identified in morphology, i.e. case, noun class, agreement and number in
Tshiven~a. This study also examines Determiner Phrase, enclitics and
definiteness with regard to Tshivenc1a noun phrases.
Chapter one is the introduction of this study. It states the aim of the study
which is, firstly, to establish whether case, noun class, agreement and
number occur in Tshivencla, and secondly, to examine the form, syntactic
distribution and semantics of these categories in Tshiven~a. This chapter
also gives the morphological assumptions of the model of lexememorpheme
base morphology by Beard (1995) and Aronoff (1994). The
theory of lexical semantics of Pustejovsky (1996) and the Minimalist
program of Chomsky (1995) are also discussed.
Chapter two examines the Determiner Phrase in Tshiven~a. It
concentrates on the structure of the OP in Tshivenda. Attention has been 41\
given to the functional categories within the OP such as DET and Agr as
well as the various nominal modifiers within the OP.
Chapter three explores Case in Tshiven~a. In Tshiven9_a there are seven
cases, i.e. nominative, accusative, instrumental, locative, genitive, dative
and vocative. This chapter concentrates on the assignment of these cases
and their grammatical functions.
Chapter four explores the noun class in Tshivenda. It examines the form 1\
and the contribution of the meaning of the noun class prefixes. The
morphological structure of the Tshivenda noun is taken as the framework 1\
for this analysis. It has been found that Tshivend,a.. has seventeen noun classes which are still active in this language. These noun class prefixes
have 24 different semantic features which contribute to the meaning of the
noun.
Chapter five discusses agreement and number in Tshivenda. In the case
A.
of agreement it has been found that it is both dependent and independent
of noun class. Subjectival and objectival agreement appear as two
functional categories within the inflection phrase. Specific attention has
also been given to existential agreement, sentential pronouns, the infinitive
as well as problems with agreement with coordinated NPs. Certain cases
have also been highlighted where no agreement appears. Lastly, it has
been shown that number is not an inflectional category in Tshivenda, but it A
is a semantic category.
Chapter six is concemed with definiteness in the interpretation of the noun
in Tshivenda. In the first place, it has been shown in which cases a noun
1\
phrase may be interpreted as definite or indefinite. Secondly, the
contribution of the nominal modifiers with regard to the definiteness of the
noun phrase has been investigated. Lastly, it has been shown that proper
names have to be interpreted as definite.
Chapter seven investigated the three enclitics in Tshivenda, i.e. de, shu
'" A
and vho. Their meaning and distribution have been explored with regard to
their presence on nouns, nominal modifiers and verbs. The distribution of
these three enclitics is dependent on their meaning. The enclitic de which A
refers to quantifiers may not appear on verbs. Enclitics which are
interrogative in nature such as d,..e and shu may not appear with
interrogative nominal modifiers. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie studie ondersoek die vier nominale infleksie kategorieë wat in die
morfologie geïdentifiseer is nl. naamval, naamwoordklas,
klasooreenstemming en getal in Tshivenqa. Hierdie studie gee ook aandag
aan Bepalersfrase, enklitieke en bepaaldheid m.b.t. die Tshiven2a
naamwoordgroepe.
Hoofstuk een is die inleiding tot die studie. Dit gee die doelstellings van
die studie: eerstens moet vasgestel word of naamval, naamwoordklas,
klasooreenstemming en getal in Tshivenda voorkom, en tweedens moet die A
vorm, sintaktiese distribusie en semantiek van hierdie kategorieë in
Tshivenda bepaal word. Hierdie hoofstuk gee ook aandag aan die A
morfologiese aannames van die lekseem-morfeem morfologie van Beard
(1995) en Aronoff (1994). Die teorie van leksikale semantiek van
Pustejovsky (1996) word ook bespreek sowel as die Minimalistiese
program in sintaksis van Chomsky (1995).
Hoofstuk twee ondersoek die Bepalersfrase in Tshivenda. Dit konsentreer A
veralop die struktuur van die Bepalersfrase in Tshivenda. Aandag is veral
A
gegee aan die funksionele kategorieë binne die Bepalersfrase soos die
bepaler en klasooreenstemming asook die verskillende nominale bepalers
in die Bepalersfrase.
Hoofstuk drie handeloor die naamval in Tshivenda. Sewe naamvalle is in A
Tshivend,.a. onderskei nl. nominatief, akkusatief, instrument, lokatief,
genitief, datief en vokatief. Hierdie hoofstuk konsentreer op die toekenning
van hierdie naamvalle en hulle grammatikale funksies. Hoofstuk vier ondersoek die naamwoordklas in Tshivend,a.. Dit gee veral
aandag aan die vorm van die naamwoordprefikse sowel as die bydrae van
hierdie prefikse tot die betekenis van die naamwoord in Tshivenda. Hierdie '" analise is gedoen binne 'n raamwerk van die morfologiese struktuur van die
naamwoord. Daar is gevind dat Tshivend,a. nog sewentien
naamwoordklasse het wat aktief in die taal is. Daarby kon 24 verskillende
betekeniskenmerke van hierdie naamwoordprefikse bepaal word.
Hoofstuk vyf bespreek klasooreenstemming en getal in Tshivenda. In die
A
geval van klasooreenstemming is gevind dat dit beide afhanklik en
onafhanklik van naamwoordklas is. Klasooreenstemming ten opsigte van
die onderwerp en voorwerp is twee funksionele kategorieë binne die
infleksiefrase. Verder is spesiale aandag gegee aan eksistensie,
sinsvoomaamwoorde, die infinitief sowel as neweskikkende
naamwoordgroepe. Daar is ook gevalle aangedui waarin geen
klasooreensteming voorkom. Getal is 'n semantiese kategorie in Tshivenda " maar nie' infleksie kategorie nie.
Hoofstuk ses handeloor bepaaldheid ten opsigte van die interpretasie van
die naamwoord in Tshivend,a.. In die eerste plek is aangedui in welke
gevalle naamwoordgroepe bepaald of onbepaald geïnterpreteer kan word,
en tweedens is aandag gegee aan die bydrae van nominale bepalers ten
opsigte van die bepaaldheid van die naamwoordgroep. Laastens is gewys
op die voorkoms van bepaaldheid by eiename.
Hoofstuk sewe het die drie enklitieke in Tshivenda ondersoek nl. de, shu ,. J\
en vho. Hul betekenis en distribusie is nagegaan ten opsigte van hul
voorkoms by naamwoorde, nominale bepalers asook werkwoorde. Die
distribusie van hierdie drie enklitieke is duidelik afhanklik van hul betekenis. So kan de wat verwys na kwantifiseerders bv. nie saam met werkwoorde
optree n"ie. Enklitieke wat interprogatief van aard is soos d,..e en shu kan
ook dus nie saam met interrogatiewe nominale bepalers voorkom nie.

A comparative study of Japanese and Korean anaphoraPark, Tae-kyung, 1957- January 1987 (has links)
This thesis shows the different features of Korean reflexives compared to Japanese reflexives. In Chapter 1, the differences of Japanese and Korean reflexives are discussed morphologically and syntactically. The general referential relationship of Japanese and Korean reflexives is discussed. In Chapter 2, empathy expressions of the Japanese reflexive zibun and Korean reflexive caki is discussed. In Chapter 3, the semantic interpretation of the plural form of Japanese and Korean reflexive, zibun-tati and caki-tul, is discussed. In Chapter 4, a brief conclusion is presented. Further work on Korean reflexives is necessary to account for Korean anaphora.

Non-Native Speakers of English and Denominal RegularizationBorden, David S. (David Scott) 08 1900 (has links)
The purpose of this study was to determine whether nonnative speakers of English have access to specifically-linguistic constraints governing past tense morphology. Forty non-native speakers of English rated the naturalness of 29 exocentric, or headless, verbs in a partial replication of Kim, Pinker, Prince, and Prasada (1991) which looked at the same phenomenon in native speakers. Nonnative speaker performance was similar to the 40 subject native speaker control group. A correlation also existed between length of residence and subject ratings. The results imply that non-native speakers have access to the rules governing past tense morphology although not as completely as native speakers.
