Abstract
This study conducts a contrastive analysis of adjectives in Hausa and English, aiming to uncover linguistic nuances, structural variations, and potential challenges faced by Hausa learners of English. The research problem centers on the need for a comprehensive understanding of adjective usage in both languages to enhance cross-cultural communication and language learning. The objectives include investigating similarities and differences, analyzing adjective placement, exploring gender and number agreement patterns, and identifying potential pitfalls in Hausa learners' usage of English adjectives. Employing a descriptive research design, the study selects fifty adjectives from relevant texts and applies models such as Banathy's contrastive analysis and Wilson's cognitive descriptive model. The findings reveal distinct order and agreement patterns, direct translation challenges, and potential mistakes made by Hausa learners. The conclusion emphasizes the significance of grasping these linguistic disparities for effective communication. Recommendations include integrating study insights into language education, curriculum design, and further research exploring diverse linguistic aspects. ...
