Read the following case study and then answer Questions 5 to 14. Some of the questions relate
directly to the data while others relate to the topic in a more general way:
Xhosa is an African language that is spoken all over South Africa, but particularly in
the Eastern Cape and Western Cape regions. Xhosa belongs to the Nguni language
family and is thus related to Zulu. Xhosa and Zulu are similar enough to be mutually
intelligible. However, the history of Southern Africa has emphasised the distinctions
between the two communities - Xhosa and Zulu have different writing and spelling
systems, developed by different missionary societies in the two communities, and
the policies of the colonial and apartheid governments emphasised political and
cultural differences by setting up different geographical areas for different language
groups.
Different geographical regions use slightly different varieties of Xhosa, for example,
Xhosa speakers from Middelburg use the terms ipiringi ‘saucer’ and ikamire ‘room’,
while Xhosa speakers from Cradock use isosara ‘saucer’ and irum ‘room’. Despite
these differences in vocabulary and accent, Xhosa speakers have no difficulty
understanding each other.
5. Zulu and Xhosa are considered separate languages because
[1] they are mutually intelligible
[2] they are not mutually intelligible
[3] their speakers are culturally and politically distinct
[4] they are completely unrelated.
6. Which of the following offers the best definition of the sociolinguistic term dialect?
[1] Dialects are mutually intelligible forms of different languages.
[2] A dialect is a substandard, low status, often rustic form of language.
[3] Dialects are language varieties associated with particular geographical areas.
[4] Dialects are language varieties associated with particular social classes.
[5] The term ‘dialect’ refers to languages that have no written form.
7. Which of the following statements is true of accents?
[1] Speakers’ accents may reveal where they grew up.
[2] Speakers’ accents may reveal that they are speaking a language other than their
native language.
[3] Both [1] and [2] are true.
[4] None of the above.
