Yet in some places in the Northern Cape, straight is also a distance indicator. Depending on the pronunciation of the word, one can get a rough estimation of the distance that is to be travelled.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The research findings suggest that are three ways in which the word \u201cstraight\u201d is verbally pronounced when it is used as an indication of distance:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(1) \u201cNormal\u201d pronunciation of the word with no emphasis implies that <strong>the distance one has to travel is short.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(2) Repeating the word, for example \u201cstraight, straight\u201d suggests that <strong>the distance to be travelled is relatively fa<\/strong><strong>r.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>(3) Elongating or stretching the word, for instance \u201cstraaaighttt\u201d, hints that <strong>the distance to be travelled is considered to be extremely far.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, oral distance estimation is a matter of personal perception \u2013 one\u2019s straight might be another straaaighttt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are instances where straight tends to be the last instruction in oral route directions, for example, \u201cTurn left at the school, turn right at the police station and go straight\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Such an instruction further complicates wayfinding: What happens after one goes straight? How will you know whether you have reached your desired location (particularly if there is no written sign to announce it)?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As time-consuming as it is, if the desired location is not in clear sight after going straight; straight, straight; or straaaighttt, it is expected that you ask another person for additional assistance \u2013 hence the frequently used instruction, <strong>\u201cVra daar voor\u201d<\/strong> (consult another person further down the route).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVra daar voor\u201d is included in oral route directions by locals when they are aware that one\u2019s desired destination is not easily locatable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cVra daar voor\u201d is not an indication of mockery \u2013 it speaks to the reality that wayfinding in the Northern Cape continues to depend on human-to-human interaction, hence assisting lost wayfinders is a social norm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>\u00a0Dr Lorato Mokwena (PhD), Linguistics Department, University of the Western Cape<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div contenteditable=\"false\" data-embed24=\"Images\" data-pos=\"middle\" id=\"embed_cd616324\">\n<div class=\"slide\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Lorato\" data-smallsrc=\"https:\/\/cdn.24.co.za\/files\/Cms\/General\/d\/3504\/50ce6e0511ac4efd8aea53c2afbb8ff8.jpg\" src=\"https:\/\/novanews.co.za\/noordkaapbulletin\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/455988ba53a242b8830d7731ab2ee5a6.jpg\" title=\"\" vra=\"\" daar=\"\" voor\u201d=\"\" is=\"\" not=\"\" an=\"\" indication=\"\" of=\"\" mockery=\"\" \u2013=\"\" it=\"\" speaks=\"\" to=\"\" the=\"\" reality=\"\" that=\"\" wayfinding=\"\" in=\"\" northern=\"\" cape=\"\" continues=\"\" depend=\"\" on=\"\" human-to-human=\"\" interaction,=\"\" says=\"\" dr=\"\" lorato=\"\" mokwena.\"=\"\"><p><\/p>\n<div class=\"caption\">\u201cVra daar voor\u201d is not an indication of mockery \u2013 it speaks to the reality that wayfinding in the Northern Cape continues to depend on human-to-human interaction, says Dr Lorato Mokwena.<\/div>\n<div class=\"img_accreditation\"><span class=\"source\" style=\"display:none;\">NoordkaapBulletin<\/span> <span class=\"photographer\" style=\"display:none;\">Photo: Helena Barnard<\/span> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Straight is a direction indicator.

NoordkaapBulletin is a regional newspaper based in Kimberley, the capital of the Northern Cape of South Africa. It has a long-standing history of serving the community with news and information pertinent to the region. The newspaper, distributed in the capital and more than 20 towns, is also read online in other parts of the vast province, and has been an important source of information for residents of the Northern Cape. The publication is geared towards Afrikaans and English-speaking readers, with the content reflecting the cultural diversity of the province. Like the other regional newspapers in South Africa, NoordkaapBulletin has had to adapt to changing media landscapes, including the rise of digital news platforms. However, it remains a significant part of the media landscape in the Northern Cape, helping to keep communities informed and connected.","email":"noordkaapbulletin@novusmedia.co.za","telephone":"+27514047600","legalName":"Novus Media (Pty)
