ABSTRACT
This thesis focuses on some aspects of morphological and phonological differences between Gomoa and Iguae subdialects of the Fante dialect of the Akan language. It is a comparative study modeled within the framework of generative phonology. The data used for the study come from recorded speeches and conversations in Gomoa and Iguae subdialects of Fante. The work talks about the ethnographic linguistic Akan and language in general. On morphological differences, the study compares some affixes between the subdialects under study. The discussion on phonological difference deals with the description of the Fante vowels with vowel sequences and some aspects of vowel harmony. Some syllable types and vowel insertion, vowel elision, consonant deletion and also tone, which play a vital role in Akan language, are also discussed. The focus of tonal alternation is on habitual, perfect, progressive and past tense.
