    Mchango wa makosa ya lugha ya wanafunzi katika kutofanya vizuri katika mtihani wa kitaifa wa kiswahili nchini kenya
    (2014) Lumbasi, John. Muke
    The topic dealt with error analysis in language use while communicating or in written and the way it affects composition writing among pupils in selected schools in Chepkube zone in Mt. Elgon District .This errors involved language flow, its structure or form and influence of first language from mother tongue. As the saying has it that a mistake is never considered a mistake unless it is repeated. Most learners in this region do not acquire high marks in composition writing and end up receiving below average marks. This happens because majority of them do not follow required rules governing language use. The root cause emanated from the influence of the mother tongue that had its own form and hence affected the second language in spoken and structure. This trend of making errors in composition writing in their respective schools, during their mock examinations and latter in their final KCPE examination nationally need to get a lasting solution so that learners can obtain better results. Past research shows that L1 influences the learning of L2. The source of this research therefore involved learners who wrote composition, had dialogue and attempted given exercises in their respective schools .The research was guided by the hypothesis that errors in language use affects its flow, structure and speech. This data was guided by error analysis theory. The theory was useful in its collection, error classification and error explanation. Once collected, this data was to be used by researchers basing on errors using quantitative and explanation approach .Its outcome will be of value to learners, teachers, researchers and other writers of Kiswahili books.

    Uchanganuzi wa methali za kiswahili kwa mkabala Wa kitendo neni katika kijiji cha kidoti .
    (2015) Fatma, Abdisalami Ali
    IKISIRI Utafiti huu umechunguza methali za Kiswahili zinazojitokeza katika muktadha wa mazungumzo katika kijiji cha Kidoti Kaskazini Unguja. Mapitio ya maandishi yalidhihirisha kuwa methali za Kiswahili hazikuchunguzwa kwa mkabala wa Vitendo neni na athari zake kwa wasikilizaji hazikudhihirishwa kadri tunavyojua. Kutokana na tatizo hilo, madhumuni mahsusi ya utafiti huu yalikuwa ni kudhirisha vitendo neni vinavyojitokeza katika methali zilizotumiwa katika muktadha wa mazungumzo, kupambanua nia za wazungumzaji wa methali kulingana na muktadha wa matumizi yake na kudhihirisha athari ya vitendo neni kwa walengwa. Maswali ya utafiti huu yalikuwa matatu nayo ni je, kuna vitendo neni gani katika methali zinazotumika katika muktadha wa mazungumzo? Je, wazungumzaji huwa na nia mahsusi wanapotumia methali katika muktadha wa mazungumzo? na je, kuna athari zipi za vitendo neni katika methali zinazotumiwa na wazungumzaji wa kijiji cha Kidoti kwa walengwa wake?. Utafiti huu uliongozwa na nadharia ya Kitendo neni ya Austin (1962) na kuendelezwa na Searle (1969). Data ya utafiti huu ilikuwa ni mazungumzo yenye utumizi wa methali na maoni ya wasailiwa (20) iliyokusanywa na mtafiti kwa kuhudhuria vikao (50) vya mazungumzo ambapo amefanikiwa kupata methali (40). Vifaa vya kukusanyia data ilikuwa ni muongozo wa mahojiano. Hatimaye data hiyo ilichanganuliwa kwa njia ya Kithamano na njia ya Kiwingi dadi. Utafiti huu ulikuwa ni wa nyanjani uliojumuisha matumizi ya mbinu ya uchunguzi shiriki . Matokeo ya utafiti huu yameonyesha kuwa kuna vitendo neni maalumu katika methali zinazotumiwa katika muktadha wa mazungumzo mfano kugundua, kuzindua,kuonya na kwamba vitendo neni hivyo vilionyesha athari mbali mbali kwa walengwa mfano kuogopa, kuzinduka, kuzingatia onyo. Kwa kuwa utafiti juu ya uchanganuzi wa methali za Kiswahili katika muktadha wa mazungumzo haukuwahi kufanywa, utafiti huu umechangia pakubwa katika taaluma ya uchanganuzi usemi na unatarajiwa kuwanufaisha sana watafiti wa baadae katika uwanja huo. ABSTRACT This study focused on Speech acts in Kiswahili proverbs and how they impact on the targeted audience in Kidoti village of northern Unguja. A review of related literature revealed that Kiswahili proverbs had not been investigated from the Speech act perspective and thus their effect on the audience was not known to the best of my understanding. This study, therefore, attempted to bridge that gap. The objectives of the study were to establish whether Kiswahili proverbs that emerge in social discourse carry certain speech acts, to establish whether the speech acts in the proverb contain illocutionary force and whether they have any impact on the people targeted by them. Pertinent to those objectives, the following study questions were raised: Do Kiswahili proverbs that are used in social discourse carry any speech act? Do the speech acts in the proverbs contain any illocutionary force? And what impact do the Speech acts have on the targeted audience? This study was guided by the Speech Act Theory of Austin (1962) and that was advanced by Searle (1969). The data for this study comprised proverbs that were used in social discourse and views of respondents. The researcher attended (50) sittings, within it was attempted to get (40) proverbs and (20) respondents were interviewed. The research technique used was participant observation and the data collected was analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively. The findings of this study revealed that proverbs that emerged in social discourse carry certain speech acts and have a positive impact on the people who constitute the targeted audience. This study is contribution to discourse analysis and is expected to benefit subsequent researchers in that area
