This study aimed at evaluating the acceptance and descriptive usability of the
Swahili ICT coined terminologies. Questionnaire, interview and focus group
discussion are the tools used in collecting data for this study. The results show
that the rate of acceptance and usability of the Swahili ICT coined terms is low
where most of the respondents justified that they do not use the Swahili ICT
coined terms/words in their daily communication. The study also found that
there are different factors for acceptance and usability of the Swahili ICT
coined terms which include; lack of community involvement, lack of best
strategies to promote the coined terms, coining process for Swahili ICT terms
takes long time, presence of competing neologisms which confuse language
users, complexity for the coined terms etc. With these findings, deliberate
effort should be made to ensure that different factors should be considered in
the process of coining different terms in order to avoid having many words
which are not used in the daily communication. |
