Inhaltsangabe

Indigenous language engineering refers to the development of lexicological frameworks aimed at facilitating the production of indigenous technical terms to reflect technological thought in African languages. The premise for this is that, technology being a universal phenomenon, its linguistic rendition could actually lead to its physical creation. Some linguists posit that people visualize best what their languages express in words. This work outlines strategies to evolve lexicological means by which African languages can be structured to establish a technological consciousness in African speakers based on what the author calls technical language models. The work also serves as an African experiment whereby languages of the Niger-Congo phylum are structured along with apparently disparate languages of the Indo-European language family.
