Contraction of Content Question Items in Yoruba Language
Human languages across the world, such as Yoruba, tend to make some elements in their constructions phonologically null. With few exceptions, it is observed that the composition of the content phrase in Yoruba and its dialects is composed of two elements. The first element takes the semantic shape of the content morpheme, while the second element expresses the question type. While most dialects of Yoruba still retain this process, SY has more contractions that could make one assume that it has just one element for content questions in such constructions. A possible contraction strategy of Standard Yoruba content particles is given in this paper based on descriptive analysis. Judging from the data examined, it is assumed that the question particle in SY is the contracted form of ewo, which is wo/o. This contracted form is either used as an independent morpheme or it is merged with the other part of the string of question phrases, and in some cases, as will be shown in the paper, it is assumed that the question particle is covertly represented.
