    An Analysis of the Phonological features of selected three year-old pupils' Speech
    (The Nexus, 2021-12) Alabi, T. A.; Gobir Mariam Titilope
    This study focuses on the assessment of the performance of selected three-year-old pupils from the clinical phonological perspective. Also, it is believed that the linguistic repertoire of children of age three constitutes their linguistic manifestation which is based on their developmental characteristics. As a result, this study aimed to identify, describe, and analyse the phonetic features of language manifestations in children of age three to examine whether the social variable of gender, physiological characteristics and cognitive features have a significant impact on the interlanguage of selected kindergarten pupils.

    English Speech Variation among Students of Kwara State University, Malete
    (Department of French, University of Cape Coast and Department of French, University of Ilorin, 2020-08-15) Alabi, T. A.; Gobir, M.T.
    The evidence and establishment of the national variety of English, Nigerian English, have therefore rendered the RP which is the standard spoken variety invaluable in the Nigerian environment. It is most appropriate to carry out proficiency evaluation based on what is obtainable as the standard in our immediate environment rather than looking outward to proffer solutions to internal linguistic problems. The foregoing assumptions and scholarly propositions triggered the researcher‘s interest to embark on a study of the speech patterns of selected undergraduate students to investigate and verify whether undergraduate students are representatives of proficiency in the Popular Nigerian English continuum based on their educational exposure; all in a bid to examine the implication of Popular Nigerian English on language pedagogy.
