Notre projet de thèse vise à analyser ce qui porte la trace du travail de la mémoire collective dans un discours de littérature orale, de la transmission qui assure la compréhension et la conservation du message. Il s'agit pour nous d'expliquer comment la profération du discours de littérature orale et la performance à laquelle il donne lieu restitue les valeurs culturelles des loma.Cette épopée retrace l'histoire d'un chef de guerre qui fait encore de nos jours partie de la culture populaire au pays des loma en République de Guinée. Nous assurons la transcription en langue locale lɔɠɔmagooy et la traduction en français de cette épopée dont il n'existe aucune version écrite.Au-delà de la présentation géographique et culturelle du pays des loma, l'analyse proprement dite du corpus pour laquelle nous mobilisons à la fois la performance et la rhétorique prend en compte la pluricodicité des messages socio-historico-culturel et la dynamique de réception. Nous focalisons l'attention sur des procédés discursifs spécifiques de l'oralité à travers le conte et le proverbe.Notre travail ne se limite pas à la transcription-traduction du discours épique, l'analyse montre comment l'oralité constitue une dimension essentielle de l'épopée dont l'épaisseur discursive et référentielle atteste du travail de composition artistique et mémorielle de l'orateur. / This thesis aims at analyzing the collective memory content imbedded in an oral literature speech performance, right from the message transmission to its understanding and preservation. We are to explain how an oral literature speech production and its performance can retitute the Loma cultural values.The epic retraces the history of a former war leader among the Loma people of the Republic of Guinea; a history which still remains a vibrant part of the people's culture in that country. Because it doesn't exist any former written version of the epic, we ensured its transcription into Lɔɠɔmagooh language (a loma variant) and also its translation into French language.Beside the geographical and cultural presentation of the Loma area and people, the real corpus analysis in which we mobilize both performance and rethorics also takes into account the multicoding nature of the social, historical and cultural messages and their reception dynamics. We focus attention on the specific discursive technics of oral literature or tradition which exist in tales and proverbs.However, our work is not just limited to transcription and translation of the epic production. Our analysis shows how oral tradition constitutes an essential dimension of the epic genre whose discursive and referential deepness is the reflection of the artistic and memorial work of the orator.

and Key Words The linguistic concept of complexity as a component of the CAF triad is used to describe the complexity of texts, either spoken (transcribed) or written, and to describe speaker advancedness not only in L1, but also in L2 research. On the most basic level, lexical complexity and syntactic complexity can be distinguished, however, complexity is a multidimensional concept and many different descriptions and operationalisations exist; there is an even wider gap in terms of measuring lexical complexity of L2 oral speech with lexical frequency wordlists as studies on lexical sophistication have yielded inconsistent and sometimes inconclusive results; the majority of studies on lexical sophistication, one of the subdivisions of lexical complexity, have been carried out on written learner production. For this reason, this thesis focuses on measuring lexical complexity in L2 speech with word frequency lists; more specifically, it presumes that C1 speakers would produce more of complex vocabulary (low-frequency vocabulary) than B2 speakers in our sample; this thesis also attempts to correlate word frequency list results with English Vocabulary Profile results and compare the individual speakers. For this analysis 10 B2 and 10 C1 Czech speakers of English were selected from the LINDSEI spoken...
