metadata.value: This paper addresses the novel Kukan so (Cry of love) by Jamila Muhammad Danfajo (2007).
  This survey presents textual analysis of two parts of the book in respect to the nature, characteristic
  features, and functions of Hausa-English code-switching within the literary text. A
  growing body of literature provides sociolinguistic study of code-switching within the speeches
  and conversation of Hausa-English bilinguals (Nasiru Ajatau, Yusuf Nuhu Inuwa, and the
  others). The roots of this phenomenon within the literary texts are still to be explored. Despite
  a large amount of works on African literatures, only a few of scholars draw attention to how
  African authors use code-switching in their writing (Bandia, Larsson, and the others). Unlike
  those authors who write in Western languages, Jamila Danfajo uses African language, Hausa.
  The writer switches to English quite regularly, both in the author’s speech and that of the characters.
  The survey shows that Hausa-English CS displayed in Jamila Danfajo’s novel allows the
  matrix language exert varying degrees of control over insertion. The described models of CS
  are obviously determined by the degree of congruence between Hausa and English with regard
  to particular grammatical categories. In many cases, the contradiction between formally
  non-congruent categories (as lexical gender) is not resolved by the use of embedded language
  islands. In contrast, interpretation-based patterns are established. CS patterns are often provided
  by pre-existing models of loanwords adaptation. However, in some cases the foundation
  for how the congruence is achieved is not obvious.
