The aim of this dissertation is to prove that tsotsitaal is
widely spoken in the black townships and interferes with the
correct usage of standard Zulu.
Secondly, the intention is to prove that the influence of Zulu
on tsotsitaal is greater than that of any other African language.
In chapter 2 the standard language, colloquial variety and
tsotsitaal are compared and parallels are drawn between the last
two speech varieties.
Chapter 3 concentrates on the static and dynamic elements of
tsotsitaal as far as morphology is concerned.
In chapter 4, the focus is on the meaning of tsotsi words in
their social context. Words and phrases which appear and sound
like Zulu words spoken by the tsotsis, have a different meaning.
Chapter 5 is the concluding chapter. It provides reasons why
tsotsitaal is dynamic. It hints at the usefulness of tsotsitaal
and its detrimental effects are also pointed out / African Languages / M.A. (African languages)
