Question 1: Linguistic Analysis of a Dialogue
1.1.1 Identification of Pronouns
Within the provided dialogue, pronouns function as crucial grammatical elements,
serving to replace nouns, thereby preventing redundancy and fostering conversational
fluidity. From a linguistic standpoint, pronouns can be systematically categorized based
on their role and morphological variations, such as personal, possessive, or
demonstrative forms.
The pronouns identified in the text are:
• jou (informal singular 'you')
• dit ('it')
• ek ('I')
• jy (informal singular 'you')
1.1.2 Pronoun with Object Form "my"
Among the pronouns identified, ek ('I') serves as the subjective form, directly
corresponding to the objective form my. This distinction aligns with the case system in
Afrikaans, where certain pronouns exhibit distinct morphological variations contingent
on their grammatical function as either the subject or the object within a sentence. For
instance, while "ek" denotes the agent performing an action, "my" signifies the recipient
of an action, as exemplified in the construction "Hy sien my" (He sees me). This
highlights a fundamental aspect of pronominal inflection in the language.
