Investigating Communicative Appropriateness Of Existing Designations Of Modern Agricultural Concepts In Yorùbá
Authors : Komolafe Olusanya .
Abstract
This paper investigates the communicative appropriateness of designations of modern agricultural concepts in existing literatures in Yorùbá, a major Nigerian language spoken in the South Western Nigeria. The study is based on the assumption that the way the receiver decodes the message depends on such factors as his knowledge of the subject matter, the form and his understanding of the terminologies used. Unfamiliar terminologies will subject the message to misrepresentation and a breakdown of the communication process. The data for the study were extracted from target language agricultural literatures. Findings show that some of the existing conceptualized terms fall short of expressing the intention and purpose of the source language terms. The study recommends a need for terminology planning in the indigenous languages to aid effective sharing of modern agricultural knowledge between experts and the rural populace.
