Abstract:

This book presents the first ever-systematic analysis of The Morphology of 
Yoruba Nominals in Ilorin Dialect, a language of the Benue-Congo sub-group 
of the Niger-Kordofanian phyla spoken by 30 million speakers found in south-
western Nigeria and some part of Benin and Togo Republics. In Nigeria, they 
are located in the extreme south-west of the country, and some few speakers 
are located in the Middle-Belt of northern part of the country. 

The book is divided into five chapters: the first part discusses the 
geographical areas of the people, historical origin, and its linguistic 
classification as well as dialects of the language. The second part treats 
nominal morphology of the language i.e. nouns, adjectives and adverbs. The 
third part of the book discusses nominal morphological processes of the 
language, identifying the followings: affixation, reduplication and modification. 
The fourth part discuses Yoruba nominal syllable structure establishing three 
types of open/ closed syllable in the nominal form of the language while, the 
last chapter treats dialectal variation between the standard and Ilorin dialects 
of the language.

The authors Mohammed Aminu Muazu and Hussaini Zubairu are graduates of 
linguistics, University of Maiduguri-Nigeria. Mohammed Aminu Muazu is 
presently an associate professor and lecturer in the Department of Languages 
and Linguistics, University of Maiduguri while, Hussaini Zubairu is also a 
lecturer at the Mohammed Goni College of Legal and Islamic Studies, 
Maiduguri-Nigeria.
