This prompts the author to conclude that the challenges encountered and the strategies employed are characteristics of specialised lexicography especially in African languages which are still less developed. As such, the article attempts to bring insights in African languages lexicography which are hoped to develop African languages and promote their use in specialised, advanced and formal domains of communication.","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"13 1","pages":"64-77"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73494925","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The author problematises the study of the author’s novels by advancing the argument that while the author deals with the tragedy engendered largely by a crisis of identity, his novels are also in a similar crisis of identity. This crisis manifests itself through the writer’s undeviating obsession with victimhood. It appears as if Mungoshi has become eloquent in visualising Shona experiential exigencies through the lenses of victimhood. However, the paper argues that such a position is not only culturally debilitating, but also constitutes a very narrow perspective of viewing family and cultural realities. The paper also problematises Mungoshi’s Shona literature by transcending the arguments raised by pioneer critics who include George Kahari (1990) and Emmanuel Mudhliwa Chiwome (1996) who tended to confine their analysis to the crisis of identity triggered by the clash between Shona and Western culture that the writer deals with. Their criticism is, therefore, celebratory","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"18 1","pages":"78-94"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"82764877","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Throughout this period, the ethnic relations of the two groups have been represented in fiction, drama and popular music as antagonistic. However, very little has been said about how these two ethnic groups express their attitudes towards each other through language, in particular, the names or labels that they use. This paper argues that the relations of the two groups have been largely antagonistic and are covertly or overtly reflected in the language that members of the groups use to refer or to name or label each other. This article demonstrates that names or labels both groups use to contemptuously refer to or name (insult) each other derive from the socio-cultural and historical context. These names or labels reflect the groups’ disapproval of and stereotypical attitudes towards each other.","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"68 1","pages":"19-40"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"76209903","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The information discussed in this paper is based on surveys that were conducted between 2003 and 2006. It is shown that river pollution in the city is a growing problem that calls for a multi-disciplinary approach in its study. The traditional approach of focusing only on the scientific and legal aspects of the problem, provide a narrow and often biased view of the problem.

The institutions are the Commercial Bank of Zimbabwe (CBZ), Trust Bank of Zimbabwe (Trust Bank) and the Agricultural Bank of Zimbabwe (Agribank). The researcher takes a keen interest in banking commercials of between 2002 and 2003, a period which seems to mark the zenith of banking commercials in Zimbabwe judging by the highly combative advertising language used and the hyper-activity seen in the banking sector. The researcher thus analyses how banking advertising discourse is constructed to project a calculated purpose and ideology. The study reveals that banking commercials employ linguistic features such as thematisation and rhematisation of discourse topics, nominalisation, some deictics, and the finite supported by visuals of animate and inanimate objects to persuade, control and manipulate both men and women as equal investors. Data was gathered both from primary and secondary sources using reliable strategies namely, library reseach, questionnaires and interviews. Text analysis was used to analyse the studied commercials. It enabled the researcher to analyse how banking commercials frame language in creating meaning that shows dominant motifs and ideology.","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"100 1","pages":"107-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80985074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Here the authors unravel part of the tapestry of Zimbabwe’s social history that had up to 2000 remained inaudible and veiled by carefully woven official accounts. In some parts this article draws some parallels between wartime promises for total emancipation for every Zimbabwean and the harsh post-independence experiences the women have had to confront. Whilst the voices in these two books under discussion raise genuine personal concerns, the article argues that the voices appear sometimes to have a narrow vision of the global limitations Zimbabwe faces in her efforts to truly liberate all the marginalised people of her society. The largely disgruntled voices, however, could be viewed as a challenge for Zimbabwe to focus on her past mistakes for complete therapy as she forges into the future.","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"73 1","pages":"1-18"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86070065","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Two types of data were used for the analysis of social meanings: (a) field notes from participant observations taken of naturally occurring interactions in public and private spheres over an 8-month period (from September 2001 to May 2002) in and around the city of Harare, Zimbabwe, and (b) transcriptions of semi-structured, in-depth interviews conducted with 40 Shona native speakers of varying ages, gender, educational status, occupation and religious affiliation. I demonstrate that the current explanatory address system models are apparently inadequate in their representation of both the complexity and distinctiveness of social meanings. Hence, I advocate the use of more interpretive, ethnographic approaches for the discovery of social meaning.","PeriodicalId":83564,"journal":{"name":"Zambezia","volume":"125 1","pages":"204-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-01-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86812488","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
