Abstract:Sequel to a paper, published in Afr. Stud., 38 (1979), 1, p. 67-80, which examined the linquistic differences between male and female personal names. As in the first paper, examination is made of the lexical, morphological and syntactic aspects. The paper begins with a general analysis of the difference between male and female names by examining the various derivational sources, and seeing which structures may be allowed for male names only, which for female, and which for both, in order to reveal something of the general characteristics of male and female names. After the structural analysis has been completed, some general conclusions about the liguistic characteristics are drawn. Notes, tab.
