dc.description.abstract	The aim of this study is to investigate the capability of the Zulu language to adjust itself to new situations. What are the basic principles governing the adaptability of this language ? Emphasis is laid on the investigation of the linguistic structural form as well as the vocabulary (in terms of indigenous Zulu root morphemes) which apparently contribute towards the preservation of this language in spite of the great impact exerted on it by the languages of technologically more advanced peoples, viz. The Afrikaners and the English. The essential problem is to find out exactly what enables the Zulu language to survive. What enables this language to cope with the pressure of naming new objects in Zulu fairly satisfactorily?	en
