Abstract

The most common way that languages influence each other is in the exchange of words. The present study deals with grammatical features in essays written by students of GBHS Koza and BHS Mozogo and their natural occurring interactions which are the empirical foundations of primary data source. The research adopted the qualitative and quantitative approaches. The corpus comprises 250 essay writing scripts collected in February 2024. The data were processed and analysed using Kachru (1983a) theory on postcolonial and/or world Englishes. Results showed a new stream of CamFE in the grammatical features found in students’ essays and interactions which include haphazard relative pronouns, articles omission, object omission in nominal phrase, lack of subject-verb agreement, possessive adjectives, misplacement of adjectives, non-standard construction of interrogative sentences and adjectival reduplication.
