| dc.description.abstract | The focus of the study was to analyze the implication of linguistic features of kitchen party language to the contemporary society of Tanzania. Kitchen parties carry the basic linguistic features with education basis in them. The common opinion obtained during the study through interviews and observations was that kitchen party does a lot to educate an African woman to be both a good wife and a responsible mother. But again language used in kitchen party is characterized by symbolic features that are special to be used to the bride-to-be. The comparative analysis done between the kitchen parties conducted in rural areas and those of urban ones, show that the rural kitchen parties carry the real meaning of kitchen party while the latter have been destroyed by commercialization of the event. | en_US |
