French language is one of the three or four most influential languages in the world today. Nevertheless French speaking people don't know it. On the contrary they think that their language is under threat of decline due to the global upheaval. Actually French is full of vitality. It is driven by many important debates and discussions pertaining to the linguistic field and at the same time to the general evolution of society, including hybrid French or crossed French in the new French speaking countries, in Africa. Feminism, nongendered writing and so on.

The author examines the mechanisms needed in order to translate the poetry of Guillaume Apollinaire into Romanian. The collection Alcools is taken as a reference: it includes poems that may be characterized as “hybrid” because they are apparently written in a classical style, but in fact, due to their imagery, global meaning and figures of speech, they belong to postmodernism. In the first part of the paper, the author reflects on the requirement of faithfulness in translation and identifies the main translation difficulties entailed by Apollinaire’s poems. The second part of the paper is a case study: the author analyzes the strategies resorted to in three translations into Romanian of the poem Cors de chasse. Interpretation, not literary translation, seems to be the approach generally preferred in order to ensure the poetic nature of the target text.

Grounded in a lexicological and postcolonial approach, this study investigates the work of reinvention and re-appropriation of language in Z. Zadi’s Fer de lance and J-M. Adiaffi’s D'éclairs et de foudre. It aims to see how the language assumes the weight of culture and presents itself as a channel of expression of the Ivorian identity. The analysis of these poetic texts reveals different forms of linguistic hybridity marked by translated or untranslated Ivorian dialect terms in a poetic form, new words constructed from French and Ivorian terms and by a form of interlanguage called nouchi. Moreover, the use of an onomastic pertaining to Ivorian microcultures ends up by revealing the Ivorian colour of these texts.

The metamorphosis of Ocyrhoe in Hippe is paradigmatic in Ovid’s thinking on hybridity in the Metamorphoses. The nymph, daughter of the centaur Chiron and endowed with the gift of prophecy, transforms herself into a mare after announcing the death of her father and of Aesculapius. Her name change does not only testifies to the onomastic problems of the Greco-Latin antiquity, but it is also an opportunity for Ovid to demonstrate his brilliance and erudition, in particular by playing on the references to a play by Euripides, Melanippe the wise.

This paper aims to review the relevance of intentional and of extensional definitions as „textual match” triggers, in FrenchRomanian translation oriented terminography, while also exploring the rather unorthodox possibility for linguistic designations themselves (or at least for their „signifiés”) to function as such, given an internationalized/ globalized (by hypothesis) loan translationsfriendly communication context. We present examples from law and economics (abstract categories).

Since its official entry on the stage of written literature, in the 17th century, the fairy tale represents for the writers a rich source of inspiration, encouraging rewritings and drama adaptations perfectly harmonized with the new eras. One of the most famous stories inspiring these amazing fairy tale transformations is represented by the multiple versions, oral or written, of Bluebeard’s legend. An important example of this renewal is the novel Barbe bleue, published in 2012 and written by the Belgian writer Amélie Nothomb. Our study presents an analysis of the metamorphoses of the spatio-temporal interval represented by the transgression of the threshold. In the universe of the folkloric tale, this moment accords with the atemporality and the aspatiality of the macro-magical universe and coincides with the climax of the heroine’s initiation process. If in the Charles Perrault tale, crossing the threshold confirms the stereotypy of feminine behavior, in some traditional versions of “Bluebeard” and in the novel’s story, this gesture corresponds to the crucial moment of the truth revelation that concerns the mission of the female character.

. Based on a corpus of Acadian folktales (transcriptions and edited versions), this paper describes the way in which borrowings from English are dealt with through the editing work, as well as the metalinguistic activity around these borrowings in the transcriptions. As for the first aspect, two different trends are recorded in the two selected editions: keeping borrowings for one, transposition, transcoding for the other. The different transposition strategies are subjected to analysis (translation, adaptation, reorganization, reformulation etc.). In the transcriptions, the metalinguistic operations around words of English origin (reformulation, use of specific markers, denomination) indicate both adaptation mechanisms and strategies of distancing from community norms. The discourse of Acadian oral tradition tales thus turns out to be an excellent indicator of attitudes and representations towards English and therefore of the relationship between the two languages in contact.

Our reflection concerns the question of facets of interculturality in the novel of Phantasia by Abdelwaheb Meddeb, who is considered as an important author of French-language Tunisian literature. His novelistic universe problematizes the human existence and encourages the reader to ask questions about himself and the other. The work is organized around two main axes. The first axis deals with the facets of doubly which reflect an identity structure which is characterized by the plurality. The second axis is devoted to the textual manifestations of interculturality in the novel, notably the plurilinguisme and the intertextuality.

This study analyses identity construction modalities to show how space management acts as a discourse that reveals knowledge categories informing its framework. Using Said’s contention that postcolonial narrative are always written within a strategic description of a particular space with global discourses, this study argues that an analysis of postcolonial fiction must take into account referential postures towards former colonizers such as France or England, with the purpose to anchor our understanding of identity construction within contemporary Africa. Using concepts such as heterotopy and heterology put forth by Foucalt and de Certeau, this analysis demonstrates that postcolonial fiction is essentially a signifying practice in which identities are contested and reconfigured as a dynamic experience of loss.

The main objective of this article is to reread Maeterlinck’s proposals concerning marionettes in a broader context of questioning the presence of the actor on stage. It begins by analysing the author’s essay Menus propos. Le théâtre. Then, it examines to what extent the playwriter’s theatre for marionettes conforms his own theoretical proposals. Finally, it addresses the topicality of Maeterlinckian thought by referring to the theatre for androids by the Japanese writer and director Oriza Hirata, Sayonara ver.2. and Three Sisters, version Android, an adaptation of Chekhov’s famous tragedy.

This study brings into attention a very important problem relating to one of the topical recommendations, both in linguistics and in didactics of languages: the articulation of the didactic sequence around constituent dimensions of discursive genres that is also the principal condition governing the construction of these sequences which should feed didactic projects. Building on the strengths revealed by our studies of large body of humanitarian advertising, we demonstrate that this could constitute, alongside with commercial advertising, a sub-genre in its own that deserves to be taught. Also, and in order to eliminate some tendencies of fusion, we will commit ourselves to underline the borders that separates the humanitarian advertisements, which represents the centre of our reflection, from the “appeal” genre.

: More and more students consider difficult to use the French language in Côte d'Ivoire. One of the main causes is the development of the curriculum, which leaves little room for theatre education, whose proper exploitation stimulates students' interest in the language. Regular practice of theatrical activity in the classroom promotes good handling of French. It allows reading, improves the flow of speech and allows the use of an adequate vocabulary. Then the Ivorian state would benefit from better integrating theatre into the school curriculum.

As part of the reforms initiated by the Algerian Minister of Higher Education, Algeria has increased the number of technology means of information and communication into the classroom for all disciplines. After analysing an experiment, this research proposes a comparative study of the operation of website www.co-algerie.net, designed for the initial formation of teachers. This experience has been realized in classical and flipped classroom.

Our article focuses on the feminist discourse which handles History to take position against marginalization and imprisonment of women in the corporeality. On the occasion of 50th anniversary of the independence of Algeria, Laila Hamoutene takes over its feather to revitalize the past of its country. In a narrative tangling, and through female voices, the novelist embraces the key instants of Algerian History: colonization, war of liberation, black decade. The originality of this novel is the feminine object, a shawl inherited from a generation to another, the role of which is to transmit the single and collective history of the different women who had it. The object is an anthropomorphic figure which makes a historical crossing to manifest numerous acts of violence which slaughtered Algeria and, at the same time, women's position in society. Our objective is to demonstrate scriptural subversion of history rewriting at Hamoutene.

This article offers an analysis of Blé Goudé's speech during his trial at the International Criminal Court. The reflection dissects the tools used by the defence to try to persuade the audience by mobilizing the judicial genre with the entire mechanism of transfer of responsibility, even guilt on the accusation in order to hope for the release of Blé Goudé. It is based on proposals for studies in the fields of rhetoric, discourse analysis, pragmatics and law.

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the relation between the personal phantasmatic experience and the experience of the language in Prigent’s Une phrase pour ma mère and Grand-mère Quéquette, from a critical and psycho-anthropological point of view. In these texts the mother appears both as a predator or a model of domination and as a prime source of language. By studying these aspects, we discover that the maternal figure determines a specific bond between the writer and the matter of writing, defining in the same time a problematic rapport with the mother tongue. In this context, the devouring and consuming imageries act as a strong catalyst in the revealing of both linguistic and psychological behaviour of the individual, establishing a fundamental relation between memory, self-identity and language.

The Franco-Cameroonian poet Michel Feugain makes an autopsy of postmodern/postcolonial society in his poetic collection entitled figuratively Des rêves et des lignes [Dreams and Lines]. He completes his autopsy with a literary utopia. Such is the double mission of his scriptural enterprise which this paper sets to analyse through Claude Duchet sociocritic approach. In other words, bad social habits offend the poet by inspiring him "dreams"(utopia) as well as "lines"(verses) to better express his intention to build a better society. Thus, Feugain's verses are rooted in social realities and at the same time envision a radiant collective future, through praxis-writing at the fore of Jean Paul Sartre's conception of engaged literature.

Reading is dangerous act for a woman – just remember the fate of Emma Bovary. Writing is even worse. Being a woman and a writer in the 19th century is completely undesirable, because femininity and celebrity are two incompatible concepts. The fate of women writers was, at that time, still uncertain. Indeed, reading, and even more, writing, was for them “the forbidden fruit”. Because of their position of subordination in relation to man, very often they had to keep quiet. Silence means total acceptance, keeping your head down, not having the right to speak in political assemblies and elsewhere in any meeting place. Women were driven from the great places where public life took place: the Stock Exchange, the Bank, the Parliament, the big business markets, clubs, cafes, and even libraries. Now, becoming a writer means speaking, “talking to each other” because literature means expressing oneself. This is why becoming a writer was a challenge that few women dared to take up in the 19th century. Indeed, silence, irony, disdain are the terms used most often to describe the situation of the “young born”. This particular situation women found themselves in, has led us to ask ourselves some questions to which we have answered through this article, namely: can the destinies of 19th century female writers have anything in common? Does the social position of rejection and submission lead to certain types of detectable attitudes in writing? Is there a social phenomenon that has generated the preference of women-writers for certain literary genres?

Some French adverbs have been analysed as forms in a paradigmatic relationship with circumstantial phrases, thus calling into question the adverb label in favour of profuse labels, nominal substitutes, and nouns. As part of this current of ideas, this article states its option for the deep label, but it also raises the problem of its subcategories which have not been defined. However, adverbs are instantiated by various types of lexicon. This article therefore tries to analyse adverbs from French as “proforms” through its various subcategories. Pro-nouns of circumstance, pro-numbers, prosyntagms of circumstance, pro-propositions and pro-sentences are the five major subcategories of proforms.

Language teaching is mainly a job of designing educational tools. The role of the professional teacher no longer consists only of teaching but also of designing teaching sequences adapted to the specific needs of his learners. The complexity of the educational action implies more and more openness on its part to the diversity of scientific and methodological fields of reference. The objects to be taught, extended to the social practices of the language, make the work of the didactic engineer teachers very complex as they find themselves teaching not only knowledge but also socially anchored linguistic practices.

This paper states the problem of translating technical texts of general interest by analysing terminological translation problems in French technical texts. The analysis is preceded by a review of the theoretical and methodological approaches to the study of technical translation which are supposed to delimit the peculiarities of technical texts and technical translation, the specialization of content and discourse, the density and extensibility of terms, features characteristics which are exploited in our article. The analysis of technical terms is based on the procedures for creating linguistic forms, applicable in lexicology and terminology (prefix and suffix forms, composition, abbreviation and borrowing). The analysis is based on a corpus of technical texts extracted from a French technical publication, intended for industry professionals but also for an audience interested in new technologies. The results of the analysis highlight the importance of documentation for the validation of terms and terminological solutions.

In this article, we make a parallel reflection between the meaning of love and death and the literary creation in Cours sur la rive sauvage by Mohammed Dib. In order to understand the irradiation of the Orpheus myth, we show that the interrogation formulated by the novel takes the form of an initiatory journey in the footsteps of the Thracian cantor. We strive to study the phantasmagoria of love in the dibian conception of love. The article seaks to identify traces of Orphism and Kabbalah in the metamorphoses of Iven Zohar's "l’esprit de l’amour" and to dispel the misunderstanding that this love arouses and illustrates on the one hand by an Orphic air in searching the mysteries of art and, on the other hand, being in search of salvation.

This article contributes to the understanding of the hybrid dimension of the French language, trying to show the intrusions, in written French, of language inputs from sub-Saharan African societies, particularly the sociolinguistic heritage of French-speaking Black African novelists. Hybridization can lend itself to several interpretations but we will study it by focusing on its living dimension which is nourishing dynamic because it contributes to giving the mother tongue a new breath, a new vitality which, while being subversive by a decanonization of the classical French language, makes it more realistic and brings it closer to the African public. We concentrate on the presence of clearly quoted proverbs, verbal interactions but also on words and expressions appearing to be strange for French. It is therefore a literary approach that focuses on the metamorphoses and the dynamism of the linguistic mixing.

In Senghor's poetry, different arts are intermingled, drawing on African artistic heritage. These songs generate harmony between the spoken word and the musicality of the poem. As an element that structures his poems, the music becomes sensitive thanks to the various musical instruments that the poet uses for the diction. Thus, Senghor's poem is word, music and dance at the same time. It is rooted in its African soil and, at the same time, its strong message and its beauty offer it a universal dimension. Senghor combines the lyrics’ movement with his basic culture to build all his rhythmic scales in an extraordinary poetry that is made of suggestive paintings timed by the play of sounds, by repetitions, a poetry made to be sung and danced at the same time. Senghorian poetry uses the image and the music to mark its Africanity through the dexter hand of a landscape painter of an African fauna and flora. A painter of black beauty in its freshness, who pays a careful look at the color and beauty of the body but who remains a symbolist and committed painter.

As part of a broader approach to the issue of transcription and editing of oral tales, this article compares the transcription of an Acadian tale from the oral tradition to its edited version, highlighting the changes that appear in this passage from oral to written. If the editor’s choice is to remain very close to the language of the storyteller (for example, keeping a number of regional linguistics features), interesting cases appear in terms of the processing of phenomena related to text organization, such as the representation of the other’s speech, anaphora, oral syntax. This kind of study may contribute to the analysis of the oral tale as a separate genre, a hybrid one, similar to both oral discourse and narrative.

In Morocco, French language is constantly interacting with different local cultural and linguistic facts. It plays an important role in spreading the wealth of various contacts between languages and cultures. This richness continues to be embraced by imbibing the local repository, mainly its most authentic aspects, rather than the most modern ones. In literature, the presence of French is marked by the abundance of writings and by the plurality of genres. Various Moroccan literature productions in French (novel, poetry, theater, etc.) describe the Moroccan society and its reality. They also show disparate ways in dealing with French and revealing the variations of its mode of operation in the Moroccan francophone space.

In our study, we can confirm that teaching/learning oral French as a foreign language is not an easy task, but it is, however, important in the training of learners. The spoken word represents a daily language practice, but it is poorly considered in the educational process. Considered as elusive, ephemeral, it benefits of a poor representation in relation to the written language practice, to which it is constantly compared and for which it is the most often used only as support. For many language teachers, the spoken language remains a conflictual, unclear and poorly defined practice in the language class, being reduced to an uncertain practice. The purpose of this study is to highlight the importance of the spoken word and to show that the acquisition of oral communication skills can constitute, independently of the written word, an objective in its own during a foreign language class. It is also a question of proposing a methodology for oral teaching / learning and its evaluation that takes into account its variations and specificities.

In this paper, I explore the communicative act of advice giving in Cameroon French. The data consists of examples produced by a group of Cameroonian French-speaking University students. Focusing on pragmatic and linguistic choices made by the respondents when giving advice to friends and professors, the analysis reveals that they give advice in a direct and an indirect manner, using many different strategies, which also vary according to the degree of familiarity and to the distance from the hearer. The findings also indicate that the respondents mostly prefer complex utterances, which appear to be determined by the need to repeat or ground one’s advice in order to protect the addressee’s face and the relationship between the two persons. I also discuss the use of supportive acts and address terms as mitigating strategies. The study contributes to the empirical research on pragmatic aspects of Cameroon French.
