TRANSITIVITY IN SESOTHO AND XHOSA
South African Journal of African Languages, 1981ABSTRACT This version of transitivity in verb phrases in Sesotho and Xhosa is based on Chomsky's (1972) X-bar theory. The exposition of verb phrases in Jackendoff (1977) has been used as the basis for this article. It has been found that Jackendoff's PS-rules for verb phrases in English can be applied to African languages.

The distribution of passives in spoken Sesotho
Southern African Linguistics and Applied Language Studies, 2006A previous study of passive constructions has suggested that these are much more frequent in Sesotho than in English spontaneous speech (Demuth, 1989). This has raised a number of questions regarding the possible effects of the input on the apparently earlier acquisition of passives in Sesotho.

DEVELOPMENT OF NEW TERMINOLOGY IN SESOTHO
South African Journal of African Languages, 1986Sesotho (alias Southern Sotho), comparable to other African Languages, is rich in vocabulary relevant to the traditional life and environment of its speakers. However, like many developing countries' languages, it is deficient in technical terms and terms for modern and abstract concepts that continuously flood in as a result of massive cultural change.

The acquisition of Sesotho nominal agreement
Morphology, 2012The acquisition of Bantu noun class prefixes has long been an issue of theoretical interest, due in part to the large number of gender classes. In contrast, the acquisition of Bantu nominal agreement has received little attention. Given findings from other languages, one might expect the phonologically transparent system of Bantu agreement to be ...
