ENGLISH

1. Comprehension (20 MARKS) Read the passage b e l o w and answer the questions that follow. A renowned linguist, Joshua Fishman, identifies one o f the signals of a dying language as

its loss of ,inter generational' use. 'lntergenerational' use means that there arc old people.

middle- aged people and young people using it. In other words. the language is not only

alive among the older generation.

It is possible to argue that there is evidence that many Kenyan indigenous languages have

begun their walk towards death. Many parents in urban areas speak to their children in

English or KiswahiJi at home. The unfortunate thing in urban areas is that, while a child

who docs nut learn English or Kiswahili at horne will learn it well enough at school. the only

social institution that would pay attention to the acquisition of the indigenous language is

the home. Increased social mobility, urbanization, inter-ethnic marriages and formal

education have hampered the transmission of indigenous languages to the next

generation. Of these factors, urbanization is seen to have contributed to the weakening of

indigenous languages in various ways.

To begin with, in urban areas and cosmopolitan areas. the natural environment for the

acquisition, development and transmission of indigenous language is absent.

Relatives, particularly grandparents whose only language is the indigenous language, arc

not part of the urban social set-up. The growing child, therefore, finds that English and

Kiswahili are sufficient communication tools. This reduces the motivation to learn and use

the indigenous language. Thus, many of the children growing up in urban settings lack

basic oral skills in their parents' indigenous languages. If this is not checked, these young

people will have no indigenous language to pass onto the next generation, and this w ill keep

reducing the number of speakers 01 those particular languages.

Another aspect of urban life that affects language transmission in Kenya is that most

mothers are career women. They rely on domestic helps to bring up their children,

These domestic helps, in most cases, speak a different indigenous language from that of

the employers. In nearly all such situations, the parents instruct the domestic help to speak

to the children either in Kiswahili or in English.

Inter-ethnic marriage are more common in urban areas than in the rural areas. Within

the patriarchal family structure in Kenya. it is expected that the wife in such a marriage

will Icarn her husband's language and then pass it on to the children. However. the

environment in urban areas does not enable the wife to learn her husband's language, In

many of such cases. the" w ife chooses to address the children in Kiswahili or English and

leaves the husband, in the limited time he has with the children to pass on his language. It

is. thus, understandable if such children, who also spend most of their playtime with

Page 2 of 44

children from other language groups, develop better skills in a common language such as

Kiswahili or English.

Another characteristic of the urban areas is that the desire to communicate across language

groups surpasses the wish to express oneself in the indigenous language. The language of

choice in social gatherings is therefore a common language such as Kiswahili. Insistence

on using indigenous languages in such social gatherings is viewed as arrogance. It is important to note that a lot of development in Kenya takes place in the urban areas and, therefore, the urban population is associated with prestige and is v iewed as the

pacesetter in many aspects of life. Thus, what happens in urban centres soon spreads to

rural areas. including the use of a common language for communication. Urbanization and westernization have also led to the disintegration of the traditional social structures within which the various genres in indigenous languages were used.

Ceremonies in which people expressed themselves in song. dance, poetry and

speeches in their indigenous languages have been largely replaced by modem ceremonies

conducted either In Kiswahili, in English,or in both Kiswahili and English. This reduces the

environments in which indigenous languages are used and makes it difficult for the young

generation in the urban areas to develop language skills in these languages. History shows that urbanization is here to stay. It is, therefore. important for societies to

find ways of keeping the indigenous languages alive.

AZOAK (interrupting, to GRUSHA): What's your answer to all this and anything else that lawyer might have to say? GRUSHA: He's mine. AZDAK: Is that all? I hope you can prove it. Why should I assign the child to you in any case? GRUSHA: I brought him up like the priest says "according to my best knowledge and conscience." 1 always found him something to eat. Most of the time he: had a roof over his head. And I went to such trouble for him. I had expenses too. I didn't look out for my own comfort. J brought the child up to be friendly with everyone, and from the beginning taught him to work. As well as he could, that is. He's still very little. FIRST LAWYER: Your Honor, it is significant that the girl herself doesn't claim any-tie of blood between her and the child. AZDAK: The Court takes note of that.
