Etude contrastive des créoles de la Jamaïque et de la Martinique / Contrastive approach of Jamaican and Martinican creole languages

Arsenec, Nicole 16 December 2015 (has links)
Motivée par Mervyn ALLEYNE (1980) qui met en évidence certaines spécificités des langues afro-américaines à bases lexicales différentes (verbes sériels, clivage du prédicat, TMA…), cette étude contrastive adopte une perspective synchronique d’un point de vue fonctionnel et structural afin d’établir les caractéristiques communes et les traits distinctifs des langues créoles de la Jamaïque (JC) et de la Martinique (CM) au-delà de leurs bases lexicales anglaise (CBLA) et française (CBLF). Les spécificités dégagées en JC & CM ne fonctionnent ni en anglais, ni en français, mais dans des créoles de part et d’autre de l’Atlantique quelle que soit leur base lexicale (CBLE, CBLP, CBLH). Elles se trouvent également dans certaines langues africaines du substrat. Selon la méthode comparative élaborée par OBENGA (1993) pour définir une famille de langues, la comparaison aborde les domaines phonétique, phonologique, syllabique, morphologique, syntaxique et sémantique afin d’évaluer des similitudes structurelles en JC & CM. Cette étude permet de conclure qu’il s’agit d’une nouvelle famille de langues pour lesquelles les langues européennes s’avèrent déterminantes au niveau lexical, les langues africaines étant essentielles au niveau des structures phonologique, prosodique, syllabique, sémantique et morphosyntaxique. / This contrastive approach was impulsed by Mervyn ALLEYNE (1980) who pointed out, « Some Similarities of Afro-American » regardless of lexifier, like serial verbs, topicalization, TMA verbal system…In a synchronic perspective, the purpose of this research is to estabish structural and functional similarities between Jamaican Creole (JC) based on English lexicon (CBEL) and Martinican Creole (CM) based on French lexicon (CBFL) in order to identify distinctive features of Creole Languages.After a survey of the linguistic fields according to the method to determine a family of languages of Theophile OBENGA (1993), it becomes obvious that these specific structures are more than similar in these two Afro-American languages.Opposed to flexional languages like English and French, widely spread in West African languages, these characteristics are functioning in Creole Languages on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean, and can be considered as distinctive features. In this new family of languages, European languages are decisive at a lexical level, while African languages are essential for phonemic, prosodic, syllabic, semantic and morphosyntactic structures.

A critical evaluation of the poetry of S.R. Machaka

Tladi, Maggie Molatelo 11 1900 (has links)
A wide variety of aspects of Machaka's poetry was treated. His poetry which is meaningful when viewed against his traditional culture brings inspiration and a formal mode of literary expression. Death was never accepted by the Tlokwa as an end to life. Machaka has succeeded in blending the ancestral worship with Christian faith. He has used euphemism to modify pain. He makes use of imagery to execute cruelty and bluntness of death. Machaka's protest poetry echoes the same protest of those of other protesters. These refer to the injustice the Blacks experienced from the white regime prior to independence. From his love poems, it is noticed that Machaka is a great lover. When he is in love, he becomes a slave. Machaka uses traditional and modem praise poetry techniques. This made him manage to produce poetry which made a definite impact on Northern Sotho literature and contributed to its depth / African Languages / M.A. (African languages)

De l'analysibilité des racines de l'hébreu biblique / Hebrew Roots’s Analysability

Sibony, Jonas 18 November 2013 (has links)
Notre étude s’inscrit dans le cadre de la théorie des matrices et des étymons (TME), principalement élaborée par G. Bohas (1997, 2000), G. Bohas et M. Dat (2007) et G. Bohas et A. Saguer (2012). Ce nouvel outil propose une réorganisation du lexique des langues sémitiques non plus sur la base de phonèmes mais de traits phonétiques. Cette perspective mène à contester le caractère primitif de la notion de racine triconsonantique développée par les grammairiens arabes du Moyen-Âge. De plus, la TME permet de rendre compte d’un certain nombre de régularités observées dans le lexique, telles que les liens phonético-sémantiques existants entre certains radicaux, l’aspect mimétique de la structure du signe, la polysémie des racines trilitères, etc. Notre thèse traite dans ce cadre du vocabulaire de l’hébreu biblique et se présente en trois parties. Dans un premier temps est donnée une description complète du fonctionnement de la théorie, suit un développement du vocabulaire de sept champs notionnels contraints par un cadre phonétique stable puis nous proposons un dictionnaire présentant une réorganisation totale du lexique hébraïque ancien sur la base d’étymons bilitères. / Our study is on the matrix and etymons theory (TME), mainly elaborated by G. Bohas (1997, 2000), G. Bohas and M. Dat (2007), and G. Bohas and A. Saguer (2012). This new tool proposes a reorganization of the vocabulary of Semitic languages, no longer based on phonemes but on distinctive features. This viewpoint brings us to contest the primitive angle of the notion of triconsonantal root developed by Arab grammarians in the Middle Ages. Moreover, TME enables us to explain lots of regularities noticed in the vocabulary, such as phono-semantical links between stems, the mimetic aspect of the sign’s structure, the polysemy of the triliteral roots, etc. Our thesis deals with biblical Hebrew and is divided in three parts. The first gives a complete definition of the theory. The second applies it to the vocabulary of seven notional fields built on a stable phonetic setting. The third proposes a lexicon presenting a whole reorganization of the vocabulary of ancient Hebrew based on bilateral etymons.

La complexité linguistique : essai de théorisation et d'application dans un cadre comparatiste / Language complexity : an attempt at theorizing an applying linguistic complexity in a comparative framework

Glaudert, Nathalie 22 November 2011 (has links)
Cette thèse en linguistique théorique s’inscrit dans un cadre comparatiste. La première partie de notre thèse est un essai de théorisation de la mesure de la complexité linguistique. Nous y proposons une redéfinition de la théorie de la marque, socle de notre recherche transversale, qui prend en compte (1) les différentes définitions qu’elle a reçues au cours de son développement, (2) les apports que peuvent représenter d’autres modèles théoriques et (3) les critiques qui lui ont été faites jusqu’à notre présente étude. La seconde partie de notre thèse est un essai d’application de la théorie de la marque qui a pour objectif de tester son degré de validité dans plusieurs composantes du langage et dans des analyses intra- et intersystémiques de quelques langues indo-européennes et de l’océan Indien. Il s’agit aussi de cerner ses limites et de présenter les principes fonctionnels avec lesquels elle est en concurrence. / This thesis in theoretical linguistics is set within a comparative framework. The first part is an attempt to theorize the measurement of linguistic complexity. We endeavour to redefine markedness theory – on which our cross-disciplinary research is based – while taking into account (i) the different definitions given to the theory since its creation, (ii) the benefits other theoretical models can bring to this theory, and (iii) the criticisms the theory has received. The second part of our thesis is an attempt to apply markedness theory in order to test its degree of validity in several components of language and in intraand inter-systemic analyses of some Indo-European and Indian Ocean languages. We also aim at identifying the limits of this theory and presenting other competing functional principles.
