Abstract

This paper examined variation in Onko dialect using the family tree model and the corresponding comparative method as the theoretical tool. A wordlist of basic items and a designed frame technique were used to gather data for this study. The data were presented in tables and the analyses were done through descriptive statistics. The data were analyzed to determine variation at the phonological, syntactic and lexical levels. The study revealed differences between Standard Yoruba and Onko dialect as well as the variation therein. Two basic factors discovered to be responsible for variations in Onko are geography (distribution of Onko communities) and language contact. The paper established that Onko exhibits variations, which are however not significant enough to disrupt mutual intelligibility among the speakers, and thus all the varieties remain a single dialect.

约鲁巴Onko方言的变异
本文以族谱模型和相应的比较方法为理论工具,考察了翁科方言的变异。使用基本项目的单词表和设计的框架技术来收集本研究的数据。数据以表格形式呈现,分析通过描述性统计进行。对数据进行分析,以确定语音、句法和词汇层面的变化。该研究揭示了标准约鲁巴语和翁科语之间的差异及其变异。研究发现,造成翁科变异的两个基本因素是地理(翁科社区的分布)和语言接触。这篇论文证实,翁科语表现出变异,但变异程度不足以破坏说话人之间的相互理解,因此所有变异都是一种方言。
