The third part of the book discusses nominal morphological processes of the language, identifying the followings: affixation, reduplication and modification. The fourth part discuses Yoruba nominal syllable structure establishing three types of open/ closed syllable in the nominal form of the language while, the last chapter treats dialectal variation between the standard and Ilorin dialects of the language.
