EXCERPT FROM THE STUDY
In this project, an attempt has been made to study the morphology of Bura (Pabir) language. The work has five chapters. In chapter one, the socio-linguistic profile, historical backgrounds, geographical location and the genetic classification of the language were discussed. Other areas covered were the scope and organization of study, theoretical framework and also the method of data collection and analysis.
Chapter two dealt with the phonology of Bura language, what morphology is, types of morphemes and some other morphological concepts. In chapter three, the morphology of Bura language was examined with free and bound morphemes discussed. The syntactic classes of the words in the language and morphological typology were also discussed.
Chapter four examined the various morphological processes attested in the language. They are affixation, borrowing, reduplication and compounding.
Based on this research, it was discovered that Bura is a member of the Afro-Asiatic language family group and is spoken in five local governments in Borno State of Nigeria. These are Hawul, Biu, Damatura, Shafa and Shanilocal governments.
This work cannot be said to have exhausted everything on the morphology of Bura language. However, it is our belief that the work will serve as a platform for further studies on the language, particularly in the areas of morpho-phonology, morpho-syntax, socio-linguistics and applied linguistics.
