BOOK SERIES NO. 71 (Year 2010)
Almost every year the undergraduate students taking courses in African Languages and Literature at the National University of Lesotho complain about being taught Sesotho language in English. The explanation that members of staff often provide is that there are no Sesotho textbooks to be used at the university level due to lack of appropriate Sesotho terminology. This book is the first university textbook written in Sesotho and applying Chomsky’s Government and Binding Theory as developed in Lecturers on Government and Binding with modifications in subsequent works. It adopts the Sesotho terminology found in Sebopeho-Puo sa Sesotho 1 and 2 for common terms such as nouns, verbs and qualificative but coins new terms for the theoretical aspects such as X-bar and Theta theory.
The manuscript comprises six chapters. The first chapter introduces students to the aims of studying linguistics. The subsequent five chapters discuss the units of syntactic analysis, the phrase structure rules, types of Sesotho sentences, syntactic rules and thematic roles. The last pages provide an index of the Sesotho and English terms used in the manuscript.
