The use of double subjects in Cameroon English is another syntactic feature that exhibits
colloquial use of language. This inventiveness in Cameroon English is to emphasize the
subject. For Example:
We the children of Ajasco do not tell lies. (We do not tell lies.)
We the students of LMA will organize a welcome party. (The students of the English
Department will organize a welcome party.)
This your brother is a good guy. (This brother of yours is a good fellow.)
That my book is so dear to me. (That book of mine is very important to me.)
These your oranges are rotten. (These oranges of yours are rotten.)
In each of these structures, we notice that the possessive pronoun has been replaced by the
possessive adjective with a novelty in structure. Three changes have taken place in each of
these structures – the original possessive pronoun is replaced by a possessive adjective; the
latter occurs right after the demonstrative adjective; and the preposition “of” is deleted.
We the students of Level Four will provide a cake for the party.
The colloquialism in this structure lies with the use of redundancy or repetition to achieve
emphasis.

Compounding is a linguistic process in which two or more separate words are combined to
create a new word with a specific meaning. This phenomenon is prevalent in many languages
and is a productive way of forming new vocabulary. Compound words are formed by placing
the constituent words together, and the resulting combination often conveys a more specific
or nuanced meaning than the individual words would on their own. Here are some examples
of compound words in English and other languages:
1. English:
"Sunflower" (sun + flower)
"Blackboard" (black + board)
"Football" (foot + ball)
"Raincoat" (rain + coat)
2. German:
"Fernseher" (Fernsehen + Gerät) meaning "television" (literally "far-seer device")
"Wassermelone" (Wasser + Melone) meaning "watermelon"
3. Spanish:
"abrelatas" (abrir + latas) meaning "can opener"
"lavaplatos" (lava + platos) meaning "dishwasher"
4. Chinese (Mandarin):
"电话" (diànhuà) meaning "telephone" (电 - diàn = electricity, 话 - huà = speech)
5. Indonesian:
"matahari" (mata + hari) meaning "sun" (literally "eye of the day")
Compounding can be used to create nouns, verbs, adjectives, and other word classes, and it
allows for the creation of a rich and varied lexicon in a language. The rules for compounding
can vary between languages, and while some compounds are transparent in their meaning,
others may require familiarity with the language or context to understand fully.
Semantic extension is a natural process in language evolution, and it allows words to adapt to
changing contexts and societal needs. Over time, some semantic extensions may become so
prevalent that they become an established part of the language's lexicon. Epoge (2012) The
extension of the semantic range of native English words wherein the words retain their
English meanings but acquire additional ones not familiar in native English. There are several
types of semantic extension:
1. Generalization: The word's meaning becomes more general, encompassing a broader
range of referents than its original specific meaning. For example:
"Mouse" originally referred to a small rodent but has extended to include computer input
devices.
"Disease" originally referred to specific illnesses but now includes any medical condition.
Coinage, in linguistics, refers to the creation of new words or expressions that have not been
derived from existing language elements. It is a word-formation process where people invent
entirely new terms to represent concepts, objects, or phenomena for which there was
previously no specific word
1. Invention: A new word is created from scratch to describe a novel concept or object. This
can happen spontaneously or deliberately by individuals or groups. For example:
"Google" was coined as a company name but has now become a verb meaning to search for
information online.
"Selfie" was created to describe a self-portrait photograph taken with a smartphone.
2. Blending: Coining a new word by blending parts of two or more existing words. This often
involves taking the beginning of one word and combining it with the end of another. For
example:
"Brunch" is a blend of "breakfast" and "lunch."
"Infomercial" is a blend of "information" and "commercial."
Acronyms and Initialisms: Forming new words by taking the initial letters or syllables of a 3.
3. phrase or expression. For example:
"NASA" stands for "National Aeronautics and Space Administration."
"FOMO" stands for "Fear Of Missing Out."
4. Backformation: Creating a new word by removing what appears to be a suffix from an
existing word. For example:
"Edit" was backformed from "editor."
"Televise" was backformed from "television."
5. Eponyms: Coining words based on the names of people or places. For example:
"Sandwich" is said to be named after John Montagu, the 4th Earl of Sandwich.
"Cardigan" is named after James Brudenell, the 7th Earl of Cardigan.
