Abstract

The study dealt with comprehensive documentation of the language features of locative particles in the Krio Language in Kailahun District, a dominant non-native Krio area. The study examined specific language usage in space, synonymous with deictic features with respect to the speaker. The study used fluent and literate speakers of Krio, though few are non-native krio speakers. Based on the topic, the researcher considered personal experience in doing the research, including designing instruments such as desk-top research, use of the tape recorder, and corpus-based research. The findings revealed that locative nouns, locative particles, and locativized nouns exist in the Krio language and that such morphological and semantic features enhance comprehension, competence, and performance.
