L’organisation interactive et stratégique des échanges dans quelques webinaires pédagogiques
Get PDFCet article décrit les comportements conversationnels des formateurs dans trois webinaires pédagogiques. L’objectif de l’étude est de décrire, à partir d’une approche empirique fondée sur l’observation participative, le fonctionnement des échanges dans un environnement numérique en mettant en exergue la régulation des échanges et la construction du lien interpersonnel. Les analyses, réalisées à partir de l’approche postdualiste et écologique du discours, montrent que les pratiques discursives et interactionnelles sont fortement régulées et ritualisées. Dans le processus interactionnel, les artefacts technologiques interviennent dans la transmission des savoirs et la co-construction de la relation sociale.This article describes the conversational behaviour of trainers in three educational webinars. The aim of the study is to describe, from an empirical approach based on participatory observation, the functioning of exchanges in a digital environment by highlighting the regulation of trade and the construction of interpersonal link. The analyses, carried out from the postdualist and ecological approach to discourse, show that discursive and interactive practices are heavily regulated and ritualized. In the interactive process, technological artifacts intervene in the transmission of knowledge and the co-construction of the social relationship
FORMES NOMINALES D’ADRESSE EN FRANÇAIS : CARTOGRAPHIE DES FONCTIONS PRAGMATIQUES DANS LES INTERACTIONS DIDACTIQUES EN CONTEXTE CAMEROUNAIS
Get PDFThe fundamental premise that underlies this study is that every interaction inevitably
encompasses an addressing activity. In fact, nominal forms of address assume strategic functions in
sociolinguistic practices in a learning context. This study presents a mapping of the pragmatic forms
and functions of French nominal forms of address (FNA) in teacher-learner interactions in Cameroon.
The mapping is based on natural data collected through observation and inspired by previous research.
The analysis is limited to NFAs employed by teachers to address their students. The analysis yielded
insights into the forms and functions that were preferred. The study also demonstrated that among the
linguistic resources available to the teacher for the purposes of organising, regulating, engaging
students and leading the class, terms of address occupy a significant position. The observation of
nominal forms of address in this context also provides insight into the intersubjective representations
of students, the conditions of interaction and the relational dynamics present in learning situations.
They are also part of a pedagogical and relational strategy that determines the dynamics of classroom
interaction
Speech act of claiming among Cameroonian and Chadian French speakers
Get PDFThis article examines the ways in which Cameroonian and Chadian speakers are producing the speech act of claiming. The study focuses on situations in which the speaker occupies the position of claimant. The aim of the study is to describe the main pragmatic variations between the two groups of speakers. The methodological approach is based on variational pragmatics. The results show that the strategies are similar, but there are strong differences in the types of formulations and mitigation strategies. The results indicate that the Cameroonian data presented more indirect realisations of acts than the Chadian data. Participants from both language communities used a variety of markers to modify their claims. External modifications typically included politeness forms, forms of address, apologies, justifications, greetings and thanks. Internal modifications also included modalisers and minimisers
La politesse linguistique dans la relation interlocutive en classe : des enjeux de faces aux enjeux opératoires. Une analyse pragmatico-discursive des interactions en classe de langue.
Get PDFThis study explores linguistic politeness as manifested in classroom interpersonal relationship. The field of study includes five general education secondary schools in the city of Yaoundé (Cameroon). The subject matter focuses on the staging of faces in the educational relationship and the connection between this staging and the socio-cultural environment. The hypothesis is based on the idea of a continuum between face efforts, defined in terms of conduct toward the face, and operative efforts, expressed in terms of the teacher’s acting and the learner being put into activity. The approach is empirical, including field observation and audio recordings of interactions in language classes. Linguistic politeness is studied through terms of address, requests of commitment and speech turns. The analysis carried out on the basis of these three criteria reveals a number of conclusions related to linguistic politeness, interpersonal relationship and professional practice. Face work occupies an important place in the educational relationship. It is both part of the identity building process and the acting of the teacher. These conducts are influenced by the interactional environment, traditions and institutional constraints. Besides, they reveal the primacy of operative or educational efforts over face efforts. This primacy motivates a range of conducts more or less favorable to the learner’s face, while revealing tension between professional and institutional norms. Beyond the focus on linguistic politeness, this study analyses pedagogic discourse and professional practice. Here, the pedagogic discourse is bearer of cultural and institutional implicits on the social and professional identity of teacher and learner, and on the conception of the teaching profession. Furthermore, the present study highlights the encounter between teaching professional practice and ethics. In this respect, it raises the problem of the relationship between educational ideals and professional practices, the school’s responsibilities in the achievement of educational goals expressed in terms of training for democracy and human rights, training for autonomy. It also raises the issue of pedagogic models in the ideology of equal opportunity
LES ÉCHANGES RITUELS D’ACCUEIL DANS QUELQUES FAMILLES DE MAROUA : SPÉCIFICITÉS ET PRINCIPES / RITUAL INTERACTIONS BETWEEN HOSTS AND VISITORS IN SOME FAMILIES OF MAROUA: CHARACTERISTICS AND PRINCIPLES
No full textThis article, based on the analysis of discourse in interaction, examines the ritual interaction of hospitality during family visits in the Far North region of Cameroon. The research focuses on the discursive and interactional aspects of the relationship with the other and on the linguistic expression of hospitality. The aim is to describe how exchanges between visitors and hosts interact by examining the discursive strategies, behaviours and social norms that are used. The empirical data consists of eight conversations observed in several families in Maroua. The analyses show that ritual interaction between visitors and hosts in this socio-cultural context can be considered as a constellation of relational sequences. During this macro-sequence, the participants perform verbal and non-verbal acts that contribute to the expression of the relationship with the other, to the representation of otherness and to the construction of the self-image.Cet article, basé sur l’analyse du discours en interaction, s’intéresse aux échanges rituels d’accueil lors des visites de familles à l’Extrême-Nord du Cameroun. La problématique s’articule sur la construction discursive et interactionnelle de la relation à l’autre et la fabrique langagière de l’hospitalité. L’objectif est de décrire le fonctionnement de ce type d’échanges en scrutant les stratégies discursives, les lignes de conduite et les normes sociales mobilisées par le visiteur et l’hôte lorsqu’ils interagissent. Les données empiriques retenues se composent de huit interactions observées dans quelques familles de Maroua. Les résultats indiquent que les échanges rituels d’accueil dans cette socioculture peuvent être considérés comme une constellation de relationèmes. Au cours de cette méga-séquence, les participants accomplissent des actes verbaux et non verbaux qui concourent à exprimer la relation à l’autre, la représentation de l’altérité et la construction de l’image de soi.

Le préconstruit du vivre-ensemble dans l'espace discursif camerounais
No full textL’article décrit le préconstruit du vivre-ensemble dans l’espace discursif camerounais à partir de l’étude de quatre types de discours politique. L’analyse, qui repose sur l’hypothèse d’un continuum idéologique et se fonde sur le dialogisme discursif, révèle que la réitération du préconstruit à tous les niveaux de formulation étudiés aboutit à la stabilisation de l’idéologie du vivre-ensemble dans la mémoire collective. En construisant et diffusant l’idée d’une République unie, indivisible, démocratique et sociale, les réseaux de formulation et ceux lexico-sémantiques du vivre-ensemble suscitent en chaque citoyen·ne le sentiment d’appartenir à une même nation.
This article describes the préconstruit of living together in the Cameroonian discursive space base on the study of four types of political discourse. The analysis, which is based on the hypothesis of an ideological continuum and founded on dialogism reveals that the repetition of the préconstruit at all the levels of formulation leads to the stabilization of the ideology of living together in the collective memory. By constructing and disseminating the idea of a united, democratic and social republic, the networks of formulation and lexico-semantic network of living together give every citizen the feeling of belonging to the same nation

REFUSER UNE EXCUSE PUBLIQUE SUR FACEBOOK AU CAMEROUN : ANALYSE PRAGMATIQUE ET TECHNODISCURSIVE
Get PDFEn s’appuyant sur deux situations d’excuse publique formulées sur Facebook, cet article décrit les stratégies discursives utilisées par des internautes camerounais pour exprimer le refus. L’analyse porte sur les commentaires numériques et adopte la démarche de la pragmatique illocutoire et de l’analyse du discours numérique. Les résultats indiquent que les locuteurs privilégient des formulations élaborées, indirectes et émotionnelles. Celles-ci sont énoncées sous diverses formes : ironique, injurieuse, polémique, etc. L’analyse souligne également que l’environnement numérique favorise la désinhibition et la conflictualité. La gestion de la face y est fortement marquée par la polarisation du conflit, l’hybridité linguistique et l’expression culturelle du refus. Il ressort également que certains facteurs, comme l’identité de l’offenseur, la gravité de l’offense et le cadre, influencent la dynamique relationnelle.This article draws upon two case studies of public apologies shared on Facebook, with the objective of elucidating the discourse strategies employed by Cameroonian Internet users in the expression of refusal. The analysis focuses on digital comments and adopts the approach of illocutionary pragmatics and digital discourse analysis. The findings indicate that the speakers use elaborate, indirect, and emotional formulations. These expressions manifest in diverse forms, including irony, insults, and polemical discourse. The analysis further demonstrates that the digital environment fosters a decline in inhibition, thereby precipitating conflict. The management of confrontation is characterised by the polarisation of conflict, linguistic hybridity and the cultural expression of refusal. Furthermore, it has been demonstrated that specific factors, including the identity of the offender, the severity of the offence and the setting, exert influence on relational dynamics
De la violence à l’école à l’école de la violence. Essai d’analyse de la pratique pédagogique comme forme de violence
No full textStudy of violence proposed in this paper is based on the assumption of the existence of potential violence in the teacher discourse. Through the practice, teacher runs some forms of violence called here educational or rationalized violence. Educational violence can be defined as verbal aggression and psychological control on the learner. It can affect the motivation of learner and his relationship with his teacher. Educational violence is a hidden form of violence. The problem which this type of violence is the link between interactional models exposed to school and youth training
Les échanges de voeux au nord Cameroun : stratégies discursives, valeurs sémantiques et ethos
Get PDFThis article examines the pragmatics of the communicative act of well-wishing during the Ramadan fast-breaking celebration in Maroua. The speech act is studied on the strength of four situations observed in families, and its analysis is based on Kerbrat-Orecchioni's politeness model (1992, 1996, 2005). The ethnolectal characteristics show that the votive speech act is strongly affected by factors such as religion, collectivism and social values. The prevalent formulations are both explicit and implicit and are based on a very wide range of morphosyntactic and semantic properties. The study also highlights the semantic content of the speech act of well-wishing, which underlies and predetermines the speakers' linguistic choices. In votive utterances, the collectivist nature of the society plays a predominant role and is actualised linguistically by personal deixis: affective, relational, and inclusive pronouns. Cet article examine la pragmatique de l’acte du vœu à l’occasion de la fête de rupture du jeûne du Ramadan à Maroua. L’analyse de ce rituel est adossée au modèle de politesse de Kerbrat-Orecchioni (1992, 1996, 2005) et s’appuie sur quatre situations observées dans les familles. Les spécificités ethnolectales des échanges votifs dans ce contexte montrent que cet acte de langage est influencé par des facteurs tels que la religion, le collectivisme et les valeurs sociales. Les formulations récurrentes sont explicites et implicites ; elles s’appuient sur des propriétés morphosyntaxiques et sémantiques diversifiées. Cette étude met également en évidence les contenus sémantiques du vœu, qui fondent et prédéterminent les choix linguistiques des locuteurs. En ce qui concerne l’énonciation votive, l’ethos collectiviste occupe une place importante et est actualisé au niveau linguistique par la deixis personnelle : les affectifs, les relationnels et les pronoms inclusifs
