Semi za Kiswahili kuhusu Viungo vya Mwili na Nafasi yake kwa Jamii
Résumé
Semi za Kiswahili ni utanzu muhimu wa fasihi simulizi unaotumika katika mazungumzo ya kila siku miongoni mwa wanajamii. Semi hizo husawiri masuala mbalimbali ikiwemo viungo vya mwili. Katika lugha ya Kiswahili, ingawa kuna semi kadhaa zinazosawiri viungo vya mwili, hata hivyo kunakosekana utafiti wa kutosha kuhusu suala hili. Hivyo kushindwa kufahamu vizuri maudhui na dhima zake kwa jamii. Hivyo basi, lengo la makala hii ni kujadili mchango wa semi zinazohusu viungo vya mwili katika jamii ya wazungumzaji wa Kiswahili. Data za utafiti huu zilikusanywa kutoka maktabani. Utafiti umebaini kwamba semi hizo zinazosawiri viungo vya mwili zimejitokeza katika vipera mbalimbali ikiwemo methali, misemo, shirikina, misimu, vitendawili na nahau. Kutokana na wingi wa semi hizo makala hii imejikita katika vipera viwili tu; methali na misemo. Utafiti umebaini kwamba semi hizo zimesheheni maudhui anuwai. Miongoni mwa maudhui hayo ni kufanya kazi, umoja na ushirikiano, heshima, tabia njema, malezi na kutunza siri. Masuala mengine ni kifo, mapenzi, uangalifu na umakini katika masuala mbalimbali. Aidha, imebainika kwamba semi hizo zina dhima mbalimbali ikiwemo kuelimisha, kuendeleza falsafa ya Kiafrika, kuishauri na kuikinga jamii dhidi ya hatari na matatizo mbalimbali. Hivyo, semi zina mchango mkubwa katika kuendeleza jamii husika na kuwasilisha masuala mbalimbali. Tafiti zingine zifanyike ili kuchunguza zaidi kuhusu uwanja huu wa semi za viungo vya mwili katika Kiswahili.
