Description

This piece is a comprehensive text on connectives in two related languages Gokana and Kana. The two languages are spoken in Rivers State, South South Nigeria. These languages have not received much attention in terms of publication and documentation, although there is a renewed effort by the Federal Government of Nigeria, some State Governments and other well meaning organizations to document some Nigerian languages. This work is an insight into the complex yet intriguing concept of connectives or sentence connectors. In English, the concept has been adequately handled but in many other languages especially those of developing nations, a lot still needs to be done to bring this aspect of grammar to limelight. This work is an expose to the workings of sentence and phrasal connectors in the two related languages and can serve as a guide for researchers working on the grammar of different languages. It is the hope of the author that this work meets the needs of linguists all over the world and anyone interested in the languages and some history of the Ogoni people of Rivers State, Nigeria.
