Determinants in standard French vs. Ivory Coast French

Mehr zum Buch

The book explores the influence of Ivorian languages on the use of nominal determination in French as spoken in Ivory Coast. Through a contrastive analysis of determinant syntagms in French and four major Ivorian languages, the author identifies six distinct syntactic structures that characterize Ivory Coast French. This research is supported by a newspaper corpus and leads to didactic proposals aimed at enhancing French language education while advocating for the integration of Ivorian languages in the school system as instructional mediums.
