Animals, their appearance, characteristics and behaviour play an important role in the shaping of human thinking and perception of the world. The attitude of people towards animals found its reflection in language, which constitutes a crucial component of culture and a key to understanding the philosophy of life. This article is meant to present symbolic meanings of the dog (kare) and the hyena (kura) in Hausa aphorisms and proverbs. These wise sayings serve as a medium for the metaphorical expression of their knowledge, attitudes and values.

Gestures, at first glance, look like spontaneous movements of hands that help the speaker to produce the utterance. A more detailed analysis shows that these movements are strictly associated with certain concepts, and rather than being random, they are meaningful and systemic. The first part of the paper contains an overview of gestures of negation used by Hausa speakers (both emblems and co-speech gestures). In the second part, four types of co-speech gestures are scrutinised: shaking the index finger sideways, hand scissors, brushing the palms against each other and brushing the back of the hands. The analysis leads to the conclusion that the gestures in question co-occur with the specific markers of negation and emphasize one of the meanings or functions of the negation, such as prohibition, refusal, rejection, denial, nonexistence and totality.

The article analyses plant names in Hausa from an ethno-linguistic point of view. Plant names, which are lexical compounds, nominal or verbal phrases, were collated in terms of their look, function and area of distribution in order to identity the factors influencing the naming process. The main sources of analysis were Hausa language dictionaries, medical articles and my own knowledge and expertise regarding Hausa culture. All the collected data were then consulted with a native speaker of the Hausa language to confirm the precision of the findings.
