The morphology of central Shona : with prefatory chapters on the phonetics and phonology
The following work consists of a study of the morphology of some of the Central Shona dialect-groups, with two prefatory chapters which deal with Central Shona phonetics and phonology. Of the Central Shona dialect-groups I have taken Zezuru as my standpoint. It is true that the main differences betw...

| description | The following work consists of a study of the morphology of some of the Central Shona dialect-groups, with two prefatory chapters which deal with Central Shona phonetics and phonology. Of the Central Shona dialect-groups I have taken Zezuru as my standpoint. It is true that the main differences between the dialect-groups lie in phonetics and vocabulary and not in morphology; nevertheless the work has a Zezuru slant to it while applying very largely to the Karanga and Manyika dialect-groups as well. I think I may claim to present here a Central Shona morphology. Where special forms exist peculiar to a single dialect-group or to a single dialect, I have indicated their incidence. For my Zezuru information I have relied, in the main, on the Shawasha and Mbire dialects. The Karanga which I present is that of Govera, (e.g. the form found in Mrs. C.S. Louw's Manual of Chikaranga) with some Mari which is presented as an extreme form of Karanga. The Manyika presented is that of the Unyama and Guta dialects. I have not used Karombe which is termed by Professor Doke the peak form of Manyika. |
