| dc.description.abstract | This study has been done as an attempt to describe the two processes in morphology- inflection and derivation, how they apply to Kisukuma language, while paying attention to the Jinakiiya dialect which is spoken in some parts of Shinyanga and Simiyu regions. The study is undertaken considering the fact that languages of the world differ morphologically in a number of ways. The objective of the study is to describe the nature of derivation and inflection in nouns, verbs and adjectives of Kisukuma-Jinakiiya. The classical theory, which is now considered as a traditional method of analyzing the structure of words is used to guide this study. The analysis however, is shaped to fit in Morpheme-Based Morphology. A good number of nouns, verbs and adjectives were collected in the area where the dialect is spoken and then using tables, realization of morphemes in each word including attachment of different affixes was done. The findings of the study however, despite the unique characteristics the data displayed in the analysis and discussion, the two processes as described by the already existing knowledge from other languages work well to Kisukuma language. | en_US |
