L'Incipit Dans L'Œuvre D'Ahmadou Kourouma, Sélom Komlan Gbanou
Présence Francophone: Revue internationale de langue et de littérature
The literary work can develop an internal identity as a particular mark. Several African writers incorporate into their novels indications of culture that derive from verbal arts. This method gives to the writing a particular aesthetic in between two cultures, creating in the writing an individuality of certain writers such as Ahmadou Kourouma. For him the question is not only to distort the French language to express his Malinke identity, but also to develop a method of incipit that belongs to verbal art.

Igbo As An Endangered Language, Chukwuma Azuonye
Igbo As An Endangered Language, Chukwuma Azuonye
Africana Studies Faculty Publication Series
At first sight, the question "Is Igbo an endangered language," would appear to be grossly misplaced, since the survival of the language seems to be well guaranteed by its status both as one of the three main languages of Nigeria and one of the major languages of literature, education, and commerce in Africa. Furthermore, with its well over 25 million native speakers who live in one of the most densely populated areas of the world with an exceptionally high fertility rate and a traditional world view and culture that promote the raising of large families, it would appear that there …
Borrowings Into Kisi As Evidence Of Mande Expansionism And Influence, George Tucker Childs
Borrowings Into Kisi As Evidence Of Mande Expansionism And Influence, George Tucker Childs
Applied Linguistics Faculty Publications and Presentations
Strong claims have been made as to the influence of Mande languages on the languages of the Atlantic Group. This paper analyzes Mande borrowings in one Atlantic language in order to understand the nature of that influence. The Atlantic language of focus is Kisi, a member of the Southern Branch, spoken primarily in Guinea. The Kisi people have separated from their closest relatives on the Atlantic Coast in historic times, probably due to the second Mande expansionist wave of the sixteenth century at the collapse of the Mali Empire. Today the Kisi are completely surrounded and interpenetrated by speakers of …
