Produktbeschreibung
This book delves into the intricate world of Swahili word morphology, shedding light on affixation and derivation processes within this highly inflective and agglutinative language spoken in East Africa. The primary objective of this book is to provide a comprehensive understanding of how Swahili words undergo inflection and derivation through affixation. By doing so, it aspires to contribute to language learning and teaching methodologies by enhancing our comprehension of Swahili's morphology. The book meticulously outlines the research methodologies employed to investigate Swahili word morphology. These methodologies involve data collection from the Swahili dictionary, conducting interviews with native Swahili speakers, and consulting relevant linguistic resources. Notably, the crucial role of eight knowledgeable informants from Tanzania and Kenya, who are native speakers of Swahili, is highlighted, along with the researcher's guidance in data collection. The various forms of affixation in Swahili are thoroughly examined in this book.
