Master's Thesis from the year 2012 in the subject Speech Science / Linguistics, grade: B, University of Ibadan, course: African Linguistics, language: English, abstract: Some studies on Standard Yoruba already have detailed structural accounts on the
pronouns. However, similar studies are needed in the regional dialects. This study, therefore,
examined the pronouns in lj, a south-eastern Yoruba dialect, with a view to providing a
formal account that reveals the native speaker's intuition of their structure.
The study employed McCarthy's Prosodic Morphological theory and Chomsky's
Minimalist Program as its theoretical framework incorporating phonology and syntax in the
morphology of pronoun. Data were generated from the common use of personal pronouns
among the lj native speakers from Aytr . Aytr does not only have speakers with a
high degree of dialect loyalty but does also have native speakers drawn all over ljland in
fair representation. [...]
