ABSTRACT
The research entitled "A Comparative Study of Hausa and Bade Non-adverbial Items" is an attempt to investigate into the fact that languages that belong to the same family normally exhibit some sort of similarities. Also they would have to differ in some areas especially due to the fact that they are different languages. The comparison was done with respect to the structure, distribution and functions of non-adverbial items within the NP of the two languages, and may function as either head, pre-head or post-head qualifiers of the NP. A part from library work, active participation technique, observation technique and nativity of the researcher were the methods employed in the conduct of the research. In addition, scholars in the field of linguistics were contacted in order to validate the data generated. The research adopts Nida‟s (1974) Eclectic Analytical Theory and uses the descriptive framework of Galadanci (1976). The work reveals some structural, distributional and functional similarities and dissimilarities within the NP of the two languages.
