The research problem centers on the diverse strategies employed by these languages in forming plurals, with a focus on affixation, stem modifications, and irregular plurals. The objectives include examining similarities and differences between Nupe and English pluralization, providing insights into their morpho-syntactic structures, and understanding the impact of plurals on sentence coherence and grammatical accuracy. The research methodology involves face-to-face interviews with twenty Nupe language informants, emphasizing the researcher's active role as a native speaker. Data analysis employs linguistic scrutiny, incorporating qualitative and quantitative methods to explore affixation, stem modifications, and phonological changes in plurals. Results reveal commonalities in affixation strategies and irregular plurals, yet distinctive approaches to stem modifications and phonological alterations. This comprehensive analysis contributes valuable insights into the syntactic implications of plural forms, emphasizing their role in agreement within sentences. The study unveils the fluidity of plural formation in Nupe and English, dispelling a singular formula for plurals and highlighting the linguistic nuances within each language. Recommendations include further linguistic documentation of Nupe, leveraging research findings for language pedagogy, and exploring dialectal variations in pluralization. This research enriches the understanding of pluralization patterns, offering a foundation for cross-linguistic investigations and computational analyses in linguistics. ...Preview Download Preview +Other English project topics and materials you might be interested in»Stylistic analysis of Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s half of a yellow sun»Factors affecting the choice of language in a multilingual society»Corruption and victimization in isidore okpewhotides and anthony abaghas children of oloibiri»Political corruption and symbolism in Adichie Chimamanda Ngozi’s half of a yellow sun and Okey Ndibe’s arrows of rain»A stylistic analysis of selected short stories in jasper Onuekwusi's the triumphant return and Chimamanda Adichie's - A Thing Around Your Neck»The society and the girl child in the bluest eye by Toni Morrison and Kaine Agary's yellow yellow»Struggle and survival in a cowrie of hope by Binwell Sinyangwe and the Cardinals by Bessie Head»The language of the Christian religion: A comparative study of roman catholic church and some selected pentecostal denominations»The post colonial experiences in warsan shire’s selected poems - ‘what we own’, ‘conversation about home (at the deportation centre)’ and ‘beauty’»The effect of the Nigerian Pidgin English on the academic performance of university students in Nigeria - a case study of National Open University of Nigeria students in Benin study centre»The misuse of the English articles in selected Nigerian newspapers»Linguistic stylistic analysis of Toni Morrison Sula»Feminism in African novels - a study of Amma Sarkos beyond the horizon and faceless»An analysis of the language of bank advertisement in selected newspapers in Nigeria»Thematic analysis of Besie Head's When Rain Clouds Gather
