Question 1: Linguistic Analysis of Dialogue
1.1 Read the short dialogue below and answer the questions that follow.
Martin: Hallo, Pieter. Hoe gaan dit met jou?
Pieter: Nee wat, dit gaan heel goed. En met jou?
Martin: Ook goed. Wat gaan jy vandag doen?
Pieter: Ek gaan net rustig wees. Doen jy iets lekker hierdie somer?
Martin: Ja, ek gaan sommer bietjie see toe.
Pieter: Lekker man! Geniet dit!
Martin: Dankie, ek sal.
1.1.1 Pronouns in the Dialogue
Pronouns, as substitutes for nouns, streamline communication in Afrikaans, reflecting its
Germanic syntactic structure. The dialogue yields four distinct pronouns, excluding
repetitions: jou (second-person singular, object), my (first-person singular, object), ek
(first-person singular, subject), and jy (second-person singular, subject). These align
with Afrikaans’ pronominal system, which differentiates subject and object forms
(Donaldson, 1993).
