Abstract
This study investigates the contrastive analysis of verb patterns in English and Hausa languages. The research problem arises from the observed differences in verb patterns between the two languages, which can pose challenges for language learners. This study aims to analyze and compare the verb patterns of both languages to identify their similarities and differences. The objectives are to: Identify and describe the typical verb patterns in English and Hausa languages. Analyze the differences in verb patterns between the two languages. Explore the underlying syntactic and semantic factors that contribute to these differences. Discuss the implications of these findings for language learners and teachers. The research utilizes a descriptive comparative analysis approach, drawing on data from various sources, including textbooks, journals, articles, and interviews with linguists. The data is analyzed using descriptive statistical methods and presented in tables for comparison. The findings of the study reveal significant differences in the verb patterns of English and Hausa languages. While both languages have Subject-Verb-Object (SVO) and Subject-Verb-Complement (SVC) patterns, English also utilizes the Subject-Verb-Indirect Object-Direct Object (SVOIO) pattern, while Hausa uses the Subject-Indirect Object-Verb-Direct Object (SIOVD) pattern. The study also identifies several underlying factors contributing to these differences, such as historical factors, typological factors, and semantic factors. The study concludes that the differences in verb patterns between English and Hausa can pose challenges for learners of both languages. Based on the findings, the study recommends that language teachers be aware of these differences and design their lessons accordingly. Furthermore, learners should be made aware of the different verb patterns in each language to facilitate effective learning. The study also recommends further research on this topic to explore its implications for language acquisition and teaching methodologies. ...
