1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY
As
earlier mentioned, the purpose of the research project is to closely
and carefully examine the Migili language and hence, expose its
morphological aspects. Investigation would be carried out on the
various morphological processes attested by the language. Various steps,
theories and methods would be used and considered in the analysis and
exemplification of the morphemes and their processes. Also, an accurate
compilation of the alphabet in the language has been carried out in
order to justify the compilation of the data and its analysis
thereof.
1.5 ORGANISATION OF THE STUDY
This long essay

aspect of the research work. Below is a highlight of the chapters and
their contents;(i) Chapter one deals with general introduction into the
background of the study, the historical background and socio – cultural
profile;
(ii) Chapter two deals with literature review on the chosen aspect of the research work;
(iii) Chapter three deals with the presentation and analysis of data on the chosen work;
(iv) Chapter four centers on the processes involved in the branch of study;
(v) Chapter five deals with summary of the work done, observation, conclusion and recommendation of references.
1.6 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
In
the execution of this research, both the informant and introspective
methods/approach have been adopted for data collection. Two native
speakers have been approached, hence providing the researcher with
complete and accurate data from the Migili language. Also, a
library/internet research has been adopted, serving as a guide on some
primary aspects of the research such as, the geographical location of
the language and its speakers, its genetic classification, its
population size e.t.c.
Below is a brief information about the two informants whose help was sought;
Informant 1
(i) Name: Ayuba Osibi Haruna
(ii) Age: 40 years old
(c) Occupation: Personal assistant to the chairman, local government
(iv) Aspect: Data collection (400 wordlist)
Informant 2

The
Ibadan four hundred (400) wordlist served as the basis for data
analysis. In it comprises a list of words in English language for which
equivalent meaning has been substituted in Migili language. A frame
technique has also been used in order to find out the use of words in
into sentence context. A series of sentences have also been translated
from English language Migili.
