In this study an attempt is made to describe the
morphological apects of Tshiguvhu. In chapter 1, it is
indicated that historically, there was extensive early
contact between Vhaguvhu and Balobedu and Tlokwa.
In ,chapters 2 and 3, nouns and pronouns are analysed
morphologically. Some similarities and differences
between Tshiguvhu and Tshivenda are highlighted. These
differences are ascribed to influences from Lobedu and
Tlokwa.
In chapters 4 and 5, the form of the verb and the use
of verb forms in various tenses, where applicable, are
described morphologically. Some verb roots and
extensions have been influenced by Northern Sotho
dialects whereas some have not.
In chapter 6, the morphology of adverbs,
interrogatives, conjunctions, ideophones and
interjections are briefly described.
In conclusion, it is indicated that Tshiguvhu is a
dialect of Venda because of its cultural and historical
bonds with Venda, although linguistically it shares
some features with certain Northern Sotho dialects. / African Languages / M.A. (African Languages)
