This study seeks to investigate Language variation in the Botswana speech community and its impact on children's education. The study is premised on the assumption that the learner's non-standard language from the home environment is not accommodated in the learning environment. The language used in the classroom is the standard language. This study deals with aspects such as language change, language contact, language interference as well as standardisation and the differences that exist in the spoken and written Setswana. Sociolinguistic factors such as language use are also dealt with. The problem of the use of non-standard varieties, as compared to the use of standard forms in the broad educational field is investigated. 2016-02-08T07:05:32Z 2016-02-08T07:05:32Z 1999 Master Thesis Masters MA http://hdl.handle.net/11427/16837 eng application/pdf African Languages and Literatures Faculty of Humanities University of Cape Town
