Relevance and Analysis of the Terminologies as Specialized Registers at Tshivenda Male Initiation Schools in South Africa
Keywords:
language development, Male initiation schools, Tshvenda, TerminologiesAbstract
In the Tshivenda male initiation schools, there are terminologies that initiates
are expected to use to express themselves. Failure to use appropriate language
is regarded as insubordination and is punishable. This study aims at analyzing
different terminologies used in the initiation schools. This will help enhance
language and terminology development in Tshivenda. Data were collected using
the qualitative method. The data and expressions from people who stage these
initiation schools were subjected to sociological theories. In addition,
terminologies were interpreted to find the correct meanings, as the language
that is used at initiation schools was largely figurative in nature.
