Thesis (MA)--University of Stellenbosch, 2002. / ENGLISH ABSTRACT: When we consider the total number of complaints, which have been used in the selected
Tshivenda dramas, we find that the drama ZWO ITWA has the most complaints. i.e. 24.8%
of complaints in the six books. The drama VHD LU FUKULA also has a high number of
complaints i.e. 20.8% of all the complaints.
In the analysis of complaints in selected Tshivenda dramas, eight strategies were
considered. It frequently happened that more than one strategy was used in individual
complaints. On average, 2.1 to 1.7 strategies appear in a complaint with an average of 1.9
strategies per complaint.
With regard to the analysis of individual strategies in all books, we find that indirect
accusation has the highest frequency i.e. 35.7%. This refers to an accusation in which the
complainer wants to find out whether the hearer may be the potential agent of the
complaint. Thus, the complainer does not directly accuse the hearer of the complaint.
The study also reveals that characters like using strategies which are less direct and less
face threatening. The strategies which appeared most frequently in of each book are
annoyance, indirect accusation, ill consequences and explicit blame on behaviour (action).
When we consider the total number of responses, which have been used in all the dramas,
the study shows that ZWO ITWA has the most responses i.e. 22.6% of all the responses
to the complaints in the six books. The drama VHD LU FUKULA also has a high
frequency of responses i.e. 20.5% of all responses.
Out of the six types of responses that were identified, question has the highest frequency
of 37.3%. It also became clear in this study that some of the questions were used to
object. The response, which also has high frequency, is contradiction. This response has
a percentage of 21.2% of the total responses. / AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Wanneer die totale getal klagtes in die geselekteerde Tshivenda dramas oorweeg word,
vind ons dat 2WO ITWA die meeste klagtes het, naamlik 24.8% van die klagtes in die ses
boeke. Die drama VHO LU FUKULA het ook 'n groot aantal klagtes, naamlik 20.8% van al
die klagtes.
In die analise van klagtes in die geselekteerde Tshivenda dramas is agt strategieë
oorweeg. Dit gebeur dikwels dat meer as een strategie gebruik is in individuele klagtes.
Vanaf 2.1 tot 1.7 strategieë verskyn in 'n klagte met 'n gemiddelde van 1.9 strategieë per
klagte.
Ten opsigte van die analise van individuele strategieë in al die boeke is gevind dat
indirekte beskuldiging die hoogste frekwensie het, naamlik 35.7%. Dit verwys na 'n
beskuldiging waarin die klaer wil uitvind of die hoorder die potensiële agent van die klagte
is. Dus, die klaer beskuldig nie die hoorder direk oor die klagte nie.
Die studie toon ook dat karakters daarvan hou om strategieë te gebruik wat minder direk
is en nie 'n persoon se selfbeeld aantas nie. Die strategieë met die hoogste frekwensie in
elke boek is ergernis, indirekte beskuldiging, nadelige gevolge en eksplisiete blaam op die
gedrag (handeling).
Ten opsigte van die totale getal response die klagtes in die betrokke dramas, het die
studie getoon dat ZWO ITWA die meeste response het, naamlik 22.6% van al die
response op klagtes in die ses boeke. Die drama VHO LU FUKULA het ook 'n hoë
frekwensie reaksies, naamlik 20.5%.
Van die 6 tipes reaksies het die vraag die hoogste frekwensie, naamlik 37.3%. Dit is ook
duidelik dat sommige vrae gaan oor objeksies. 'n Respons wat ook 'n hoë frekwensie het,
is teenstelling naamlik 21.2% van alle response.
