- Description: This study explores sociolinguistic practices such as translanguaging, in which “diglossia is presumably allowed without isolation and bilinguals’ linguistic resources are viewed as an integrated system.” While bilinguals select and deploy particular features from their linguistic repertoires for meaning-making, translanguaging is widely used by teachers and students in multilingual classroom settings, as guided by the Personnel Administrative Measures (PAM). Translanguaging also provides a path for students to bring in and use their linguistic repertoires to produce the required learning outcomes, perform their identities and facilitate language development. Thus, this study is based on the view, subscribed to in contemporary sociolinguistics, that monoglossic language ideology is embedded in modes of oppression steeped in neoliberal, colonial and linguistic purist forms”. The purpose of the study was to make a case for the implementation of translanguaging in the written assessment of isiXhosa/English bilingual high-school learners in the Eastern Cape. The study employed a qualitative approach in the form of document analysis, whereby the researcher used selected Grade 12 question papers to find out how often translanguaging occurred. This was done by illustrating how examiners are moving past forms of linguistic purism when setting papers. , Thesis (MA) -- Faculty of Humanities, School of Language, Media and Communication, 2024

- Description: Olu phando luza kuthi lubeke umnwe kwindlela ulwimi negrama ezithi zisetyenziswe ngayo kumakhasi onxibelelwano zizini ezahlukileyo. Imiyalezo emifutshane iye yathatha unyawo kule mihla sikuyo. Ukanti kukho nokugxekwa kwayo ngenxa yokuba inempembelelo kuphanzo lolwimi. Olunye uphando olwenziweyo luyaphikisana nale mbono njengokuba lungqina ukuba itextism* ayonakalisi lwazi lwamntu kulwimi. Umahluko ophawulekayo kwimiyalezo ethunyelwa ngamadoda nabafazi awukabonakali uphandiwe esiXhoseni, nto leyo ethe yakhuthaza umphandi ukuba akhe avule indlela. Olu phando lujolise ekuphononongeni igrama yesiXhosa kwimiyalezo emifutshane ethunyelwa zizini ezahlukeneyo. Abathathi nxaxheba kolu phando bayikhethe ngokwabo imiyalezo eza kuthi isetyenziswe kolu phando. Uhlalutyo luza kuthi lujonge ikhophasi engangemiyalezo elikhulu linamashumi mahlanu (150) ethunyelwe ngabathathi nxaxheba abangamashumi amahlanu anesihlanu (55), amadoda angamashumi amabini anesihlanu (25) kunye namabhinqa angamashumi amathathu (30). Abantu abanikezele ngemiyalezo baza kunikwa uxwebhu oluchaza ngeenjongo zolu phando nesizathu sokusebenzisa imiyalezo emifutshane njengomsimelelo wolu phando. Kuza kufuneka batyikitye noxwebhu lwesivumelwano. Yonke le miyalezo ivela kubantu abathetha isiXhosa njengolwimi lwasekhaya. Iminyaka yabantu abanikele ngemiyalezo yabo ngokukhululekileyo iphakathi kwama-25 kunye nama-48. Isizathu sokuba amabhinqa ibe ngawona maninzi anikezele ngemiyalezo kunamadoda sesokuba amadoda ebemadolwa-nzima ukunikezela ngemiyalezo yawo kunamabhinqa. Injongo ibikukufumana amanani alinganayo kwisini ngasinye. Olu phando luza kuthi luthathe indlela yentyila-lwazi njengoko kuza kuthi kuhlalutywe, kucakacwe kuchazwe le miyalezo ikhethelwe uphando. Umphandi uza kuthi asebenzise ingcingane yobunzululwazi yolwimi yoluntu (sociolinguistics*) njengengundoqo kolu phando ze ezinye iingcingane ezifana nefonoloji, isintaksi kunye netextism zisetyenziswe ukuxhasa le ingundoqo.
