COMPARISON OF HAUSA AND ENGLISH NOMINAL PHRASES
ABSTRACT
This research studies the occurrence of the constructions and functions of NPs in English and Hausa languages, and finds out the similarities and differences that exist between them. Data are collected from primary and secondary sources, i.e. published Grammar, Linguistics and Comparative Analysis, unpublished lecture note; internet based material as well as personal observation. The data are analyzed through presenting well-formed and ill-formed expressions, which were compared, to find areas of differences and similarities. An analysis also made, using linguistic tree diagram, tables, and asterisk symbol (*) to mark ungrammatical expressions. This work is placed within the context of existing literature on “Hausa and English Grammar and Linguistics” and the teaching and learning of both languages. This will help the researchers in grammar with a concise knowledge of Hausa and English NPs construction, functions and enable them know the similarities and differences that exist.
CHAPTER ONE
General Introduction
1.1 Background To The Study
The study of grammar has become very important as far as speaking and writing are concerned. This is because in our daily use of language, we try to put every part of speech (noun, verb etc.) in its appropriate position to avoid misinformation in the course of writing and communication.
English language is a widely spoken language almost everywhere in the world, and Hausa is a language spoken in some parts of Northern Nigeria and even outside Nigeria. Both are taught as subjects in public and private schools. These two languages interrelate and contrast with each other morphologically, syntactically and even semantically. This work is based on syntactic level, i.e. (comparative study of English and Hausa Nominal phrase). Typologically; Hausa and English share the same order of arranging words to form phrases and sentences (SVO). Example:
S V O
Audu kashe Kare
Audu kill a Dog
This work will be based on Hausa and English nominal phrases. These languages have greatly spread around the world and well accepted, accommodated and acquired organically by other native speakers, So the research dissimilar will be done on them (Hausa and English) on how their NPs are similar and dissimilar. The study will also throw light on their morphological process in forming NPs, prevailing overt nature of Hausa NPs and hiding nature of English NPs morphologically.

Can the material for “Isolation and Identification of Microbes Associated with Spoilage of Canned Food” be used as a guide for Microbiology Project?
Yes it can be used — Canned foods have specific regulatory requirements with the exception of alcoholic beverages and carbonated beverages. These requirements vary depending on the classification of the food product. The microbial spoilage of canned food (tomato) of varying product brands was investigated in this study. It was observed that the total aerobic and anaerobic counts were less than 103 cells which were within acceptable limit. Two of the canned product had no microbial count, while the others had counts varying from 2 x 101 to 5 x 101 for aerobic count of freshly opened tomato, and 1 x 101 to 2 x 101 for anaerobic count. However, aerobic count of spoilt canned tomato product ranged from 4.2 x 104 to 9.1 x 104 …
Is the topic “Corruption and Socio-Economic Development in Nigeria” recommended for Political Science Project?
Yes it is highly recommended — The study seeks to examine the effects of corruption on economic development in Nigeria. It highlights the probable root − causes of corruption, and the likely factors that give vent to its exacerbation in the Nigerian economy. The study examines the apparent machinery through which corruption impairs economic development in Nigeria. To meaningfully curb corruption in Nigeria, a selfless, disciplined, and visionary leadership is inevitable. The Nigerian judicial system should make the courts to, indeed, function as “courts of justice”, and allow the law to be practically “blind” in its operations. More so, Nigeria’s mode of production should change from the one (the present), which engenders and supports income inequality among the people to the one characterized by equity and …
