- Description:
- In their studies on relative clauses (RCs), Keenan andComrie (1977) and Downing (1977,1978) identify certain syntactic features which they consider to be universal features of relative clause structures. However, Downing (1978:375) cautions that his implicational universal "may be considered hypotheses to be tested against additional data of relative clause structure." This paper primarily examines the syntactic features of RCs in Ewe, but in doing so provides additional data against which some of the universal features claimed for RCs are tested. Overall, the universals tested in this study have been supported by the data from Ewe.

- Description:
- This paper examines the evolving roles of Dagaare women in Dagaare Oral Poetry, and with that transformation, their changing status in the society. The issue of women as they are reflected in the oral poems they sing are also examined. Resources from fifty women, including discussion with people knowledgeable in Dagaare oral arts were gathered and analysed to understand how the situation of the Dagaare women is changing. Particular women performers were also picked and their poems recorded for analysis, and they were also interviewed on their views on their changing roles and positions in the society. The status of women is examined vis-a-vis their prestige, economic and political power in the society and is seen to be inexorably changing as their economic base improves and they gain more and more recognition in their society. Institutional factors that promote change such as migration, activities of the NGOs and the Churches are also examined. One of the recommendations made is that much more needs to be done to give women an even higher status in the society.
