Sociocultural influences on the development of child language skills have been widely studied, but the majority of the research findings were generated in Northern contexts. The current crosslinguistic, multisite study is the first of its kind in South Africa, considering the influence of a range of individual and sociocultural factors on expressive vocabulary size of young children. Caregivers of toddlers aged 16 to 32 months acquiring Afrikaans ( n = 110), isiXhosa ( n = 115), South African English ( n = ...

Research on the Difela (chants of Basotho migrant workers) during the 1980s shows a global approach in that it describes the genre in terms of its overhead properties. Here it is argued that the time has come for the description of individual chants, which could add to our insight in the compositional skills of individual poets and which could lead to a taxonomy of types. Mokone Matabola's two-minute chant is viewed from a segmental (or textual) and suprasegmental (or melodic) level. The two levels ...

In two previous articles the emphasis fell on compositional and generic aspects of the Difela as represented in chants by Mokone Matabola and Mphahasa Raboleka Kgosi respectively. In this article the focus is on sociopoetic issues. The Difela singers are a marginalized group since they find themselves on the fringes of the society in which they were born (Lesotho), as well as of the society in which they work (RSA). Their humble rights are constantly under pressure, eroded by infinite instability ...

The structure of Sepedi traditional praise poem, a psalm (of the Bible) and a hymn (of Lutheran Church). Readers appear to recognise similarities in the structures of hymns, psalms, and ancient praise poems. This article examines whether the proposition is based on facts or truth. Similarity or difference will be realised by contrasting the strata of the three literary texts through the lens of the adapted narratological model. In the content of traditional praise poem, the poet uses the traditional ...

Abstract Mean Length of Utterance (MLU) has been widely used to measure children’s early language development in a variety of languages. This study investigates the utility of MLU to measure language development in four agglutinative and morphologically complex Southern Bantu languages. Using a variant of MLU, MLU3, based on the three longest sentences children produced, we analysed the utterances of 448 toddlers (16-32 months) collected using the MacArthur-Bates Communicative Development Inventory, ...

It goes without saying that fire is an important factor in the development of humankind. When humans first discovered fire, it instantly became their best friend. Fire enabled early humans to light up the dark, indulge in cooked meals and provide warmth for their bodies and homes. However, even before they figured out how to manually reproduce fire, it existed in nature. Fire, and specifically “veldfire”, exists naturally and does not need the agency of man.Today, severe drought, specific weather ...

Abstract Studies show that speech and gesture develop together with age, and the nature of gestures changes with increasing cognitive and discursive abilities. While there are common developmental trends, cultural differences may also impact development. We examined gesture development in narratives of Sesotho speaking children aged 5 to 6 years ( n = 12), 9 to 10 years ( n = 12) and adults ( n = 12), who watched a wordless cartoon and narrated the story back to an interlocutor. Our results show that narrative ...
