Non Standard Usages In Nigerian English At The Syntactic And Lexical Level. by esn1(f): 3:17pm On Nov 17, 2014 |
There are standard and non standard usages in Nigerian English at the syntactic and lexical level. This could be as a result of, article omission, tautology, influence of social structure coinage and expressions. Examples: Non standard Standard Don't reverse back your car Don't reverse your car I hear English I understand English We can't end up thanking God We can't stop thanking God A trial will convince you A try will convince you The rain beat me I was drenched by the rain The accountant is not on seat The accountant is not available I want to chase or toast that girl I want to woo or court that girl Feel free to add yours |
