NOMINALIZATION PROCESS IN FANTE (AKAN)
View through CrossRef
The paper relied on primary and secondary Fante intuitive data to explore the morphophonological processes by which nouns are formed and the product of these processes in Fante adopting autosegmental theory as underpinning theory. This is what is referred to as ‘nominalization’. Appah (2003) used nominal derivation for nominalization and described it as the process by which word forms, as well as phrases and clauses, are converted into nouns. With this in mind, nominal derivation and nominalization are used interchangeably in this research paper. The paper revealed that segments which are put together to form nominal words in Fante are discovered at the level of both affixation and compounding. The paper concluded that affixation and compounding are the most dominant ways of deriving nouns in Akan Fante.<p> </p><p><strong> Article visualizations:</strong></p><p><img src="/-counters-/soc/0804/a.php" alt="Hit counter" /></p>
