Elhadji, Yawale Maman Lawan. "Étude sociolinguistique des nouveaux contacts de langues au Niger." Amiens, 2014. http://www.theses.fr/2014AMIE0002.
Full textOur thesis which deals with "Sociolinguistic study of new contacts with languages in Niger" aims at describing one of the key aspects of globalisation wich is monitored by trade between countries within the same continent or within different continents. Trade represents the driving force of new contacts between people on one hand and between cultures and different langages in Niger on the other hand. Our research is grounded on the phenomena of foreign language languages contacts spoken by people coming from other continent (Asia, Europe, etc. ) local languages of Niger. In so doing, our theoretical framework is oriented towards studying different concepts and draw upon the outcome of different strategies and approaches that have been used by sociologists before us. Then, the next step consists on implementing a suitable methodology for fieldwork. That latter aims at defining our field of study by outlining trades and shops owned by non-African foreigners in Niger, preparing interviews and observation of behavior and language practices within them. In determining our field of study, we have been able to study the social context of these non-African foreigners, their linguistics representations, their epilinguistic feelings, their behaviors and linguistic practices. Indeed, this study has allowed us to analyze phenomena such pidgins, borrowings, linguistic interference and interlanguage. Besides these direct phenomena of contacts with the languages related to our study, cases of diglosia and lingfuistic policy have also been analyzed in accordance to each of the places of our enquiry. Our findings include : the phenomenon of pidgin including oil production sites, the interlanguage phenomenon in the Chinese and Indian settlements, linguistic interference in Turkish and Iranian complex school. These new contacts (people and language) tell us the emergence of a new sociolinguistic situation which has occured following the arrival and settlement of non-African foreigners in Niger for commercial reasons. Finally, theses analyzes have allowede us to go back to our research hypothèses raised at the beginning of this study wheter to be corroborated or rejected with the intent of generating new ways likely to be used for further studies for our thesis

Full textThis thesis suggests itself as a reference document for the various policies intended to carry out the heavy task of promoting our mother longues. For a long time these have found themselves pushed into the background as poor languages unable to depict any reality and with the status of "dialects" as opposed to the French language. It puts forth the Niger sociolinguistic situation by considering some existing studies on the strengthful and dominating intercourse of the different mother tongues spoken in various markets of country’s communes. This study is aimed at providing the decision with consistent elements for more sound sustained and realistic linguistic policy. It is carried out into two volumes, the first one has seven chapters and entitled: sociolinguistic study of the markets of Niamey, Malady, Diffa, Agadez, Tahoma, Zinder and tillable. The second one deals with the linguistic thought and behavior, the extra-scholar use of French, the Niger sociolinguistic situation and the outline of a linguistic policy provided as the thesis conclusion
Sow, Zeïnabou. "Les langues nationales dans l'enseignement de base 1 au Niger." Paris 3, 2004. http://www.theses.fr/2004PA030023.
Full textWhen we mention the national language, it has to be understood as the native language as opposed to the official language which is French. Basic teaching corresponds to primary schooling. This research raises the question of the language used for teaching in Niger. The starting point is the problematic of French teaching in a multilingual environment. Niger shares a common situation with many African countries : French is the language used for teaching for a vast majority of learners who don't speak it at all. The fact of ignoring the native languages of the learners has thrown many educative systems out of balance. Aware of the problems created by such a teaching, Niger started an experimentation of bilingual teaching, native languages / French, in 1973. Willing to improve this bilingual teaching, this research makes out a portrait of this experimentation and draws some perspectives for the future. The first part is about the historical context and the linguistic policy of the country. We also compare the two different systems : the monolingual teaching and the bilingual one. As we deal with school and language teaching, the second part is mainly about the linguistic situation and it analyses different representations. Finally, in the third part, we make some propositions to change and improve teaching in general and the teaching of native languages in particular

Lesage, Jakob. "A grammar and lexicon of Kam (àŋwɔ̀m), a Niger-Congo language of central eastern Nigeria." Thesis, Paris, INALCO, 2020. http://www.theses.fr/2020INAL0008.
Full textThis thesis is the first extensive description of Kam (àŋwɔ̀m), a Niger-Congo language spoken in Taraba State, central eastern Nigeria, by an estimated 8,000 to 10,000 people. It offers a typologically and areally informed analysis of the grammar and lexicon of Kam, thereby advancing our understanding of the grammatical structure of Niger-Congo languages. This description is based on novel linguistic data collected in the Kam community between 2016 and 2018. There are six parts: (1) introduction, (2) phonological analysis, (3) nominal morphosyntax, (4) verbal morphosyntax, (5) clausal morphosyntax and (6) a sample of text and a lexicon with approx. 1,300 entries. Features of Kam that may be particularly interesting for African and general linguistics include labial-velar stops kp and gb; a difference between prosodically strong and prosodically weak positions in prosodic stems; tonal morphology used for both derivation and inflection; the absence of noun classes or gender; logophoric pronominals; STAMP-morphs; multi-verb constructions; verbal reduplication strategies; clause-final negation and bipartite content interrogatives. The Kam community and their language are part of the linguistically and culturally diverse landscape of north-east and central-east Nigeria. Previous research classified Kam as an isolated language within the Adamawa sub-family of Niger-Congo, whose genealogical unity is no longer widely accepted. Therefore, the classification of Kam and other languages should be reviewed. While classification is not addressed in this thesis, it provides grammatical and lexical data indispensable for any comparison between Kam and other languages and lineages

Full textCorresponding to most of the tahoua department, the ader area is situated at the north-west extremity of the hausa territory which spreads over south-east niger and north nigeria. This grammar of the ader dialect is both a linguistic description and the illustration of the theory of predicative and enunciative operations, which provides a frame for the observation and modelisation of language and languages. Following a brief phonology, the grammatical description itself comprises five chapters. The first chapter deals with the structure of simple sentences, verbal and non verbal. Syntactic functions in hausa are defined, together with the notions of topic, theme and subordination. The third and second chapters deal with the nominal system : using distributional devices, nominal classes and determiners are characterized and then related to determination operations (extraction, qualified extraction and anaphoric identification -" flechage "). Nonverbal sentences are studied in the fourth chapter in relation with assertive modalities and the constitution of theme and topic. The fifth chapter deals with the verbal system. The morphological description of the so-called subject pronoun paradigms ("series de conjugaison") on the one hand, and verb classes on the other hand, are each followed by the study of voice, aspect and modal determinations. Throughout the study of the nominal and verbal systems, the polysemy of grammatical morphemes is explained by their interaction with context and the notional properties of nouns and verbs. The grammatical description is followed by three texts, a hausa-french lexicon (5000 entries) and a french-hausa index (2500 items). It includes two maps, three index and a bibliography

Full textƁaka is an Ubangian language of the Niger-Congo language family. The grammatical description is based on a text corpus that was collected during fieldwork in the department of Haut Nyong in the East Province of Cameroon. The corpus consists of recordings (1h and 36 min) of spontaneous speech, which were annotated in Toolbox, Elan and Praat and then analyzed from a structuralist-functionalist perspective. The thesis is divided into three parts. Part 1 contains the introduction and the phonological analysis. Part 2 is dedicated to defining the word classes. As Ɓaka is a language with little morphology, the following 15 word classes were identified through syntactic criteria: verb, noun, relational noun, personal pronoun, pronoun, adjective, adverb, numeral, predicator, preposition, subordinator, coordinator, interjection, onomatopoeia and modal. For each of these defined word classes, a study of their forms and functions is presented. Part 3 deals with the syntax of Ɓaka, more precisely with the noun phrase, the verb phrase and non-verbal predication, which are the fundamental structuring units of this language. Non-verbal predication encompasses both the use of non-verbal predicators as well as constructions that contain no dedicated predicators and are based on two juxtaposed elements, whose characteristic features are analyzed in detail. Part 3 is also concerned with complex sentences. It examines coordinating and subordinating connectors as well as topicalization and focalization strategies, which reflect hierarchical relations in the sentence. The thesis concludes with a bibliography and an appendix containing three transcribed texts from the corpus

Full text/Historical and comparative linguistics plays an important role in the study of a society’s cultural history. In this context, some specialists follow the method of lexical reconstruction "Wörter und Sachen" (Words and Things). In order to deal with the problems that occur in the application of this methodology, we found it useful to study the lexicon of a recent technique for which the history is quite well known. Such a research shows how the vocabulary is constituted and identifies the traces that might be left by the history of the technique itself. We chose the vocabulary of aluminium casting in Zarma and Hausa of Niger. The study testifies of an empirical and sociolinguistic approach, while the vocabulary is explored starting from the onomasiological principal of lexical change. The main part consists of an analysis of the vocabularies collected in the field through a new typology of lexical change. In order to give the reader the occasion to familiarise with the linguistic system of the two languages, a brief grammatical description is given. The study of some particular cases shows how social aspects influence the constitution of the lexicon. The comparison of the casting vocabularies in the languages of Niger with those observed in other West-African countries gives the opportunity to reflect upon the nature of casting vocabulary on a larger scale. The last part of the study takes into account other technical vocabularies in order to develop a global theory.

Full textToponyms as means of communication constitute a supply of collective memory which immortalizes a precious cultural patrimony, be it local, regional or national. In this respect, this cultural jewel ought to be preserved, protected and promoted and it can only be done by guiding it in order to allow it to fulfil its role which is to locate places and orientate people in their whereabouts. This mission, entrusted to governmental or administrative agencies, is conventionally called The Normalisation of geographical names, and is carried out at a local, regional, national or international level. That’s why the toponymy of the UCN, an integral part of the cultural patrimony of Niger, is the subject of this thesis. In this work, the places’ names have been linked to the progressive populating of Nyamey as they are privileged witnesses of the birth of the city’s places. Altogether, they constitute the geographical entities I have analysed. They are subdivided into administrative entities, artificial geographical entities [works], natural geographical entities (streams, hills, ….) and in ways of communication. However, odonomy has taken the largest part in this research as its subject is the urban toponomy (Nyamey being the largest urban centre of Niger). Moreover, toponomy being by definition a linguistic science, a linguistic study of the toponyms has been done in this work. This toponomy is multilingual , it is expressed in several national languages (mainly zarma, hausa and fulfulde) and in French. But odonymy is more expressive in the majority of the national languages of Niger through toponyms which have more of a symbolical meaning than a referential one. Neigbourhoods or villages’ names have been analysed etymologically in this work in order to complete the linguistic structure of these places’ names

Full textOur research focuses on the teacher's action and his interactions with students in the specific field of the study of digital in grade 2. The objective of this PhD dissertation is to analyze the teacher's action and his didactic practices in classes, and training practices in a CAPED in the Niger context. The first part of this PhD dissertation includes a presentation of the socio-economic and educational contexts in Niger. Then we examine the teaching practices in order to see if they allow students to take or not real responsibilities in relation to knowledge, and the appropriateness of collective design work sessions.In the second part, we present our theoretical tools, previous work related to our research objects, and the general problem tackled by our work. The third part is devoted to our methodological approach based on the study of textbook analyze, videos of classes and field observations. The fourth section discusses the mathematic resources used in the primary education in Niger and question the impact of these resources on the observed teachers' usual practices. The fifth and sixth sessions analyze empirical lessons in terms of topogenesis, and semiotic systems to study the knowledge involved in the didactic situations. In the seventh part, we propose an innovative in-service training based on the design of lessons in a collective CAPED. In conclusion, in an eighth part we first present a summary of our results, and then we present the perspectives that this research offers in terms of further developments of didactic engineering that could allow the implementation of a collaborative work between teachers and researchers

Full textThe zarma language which is the subject of this thesis belongs to the songhay-zarma linguistic group. It is spoken in the western areas of the republic of niger (west africa) by an estimated number of 900. 000 people. The work presents a fairly complete description of the language, including phonological, morphological, and syntactic elements. The section that deals with phonology concentrates on the segmental aspects. It proposes a new approch to an analysis based on a set of essential points such as nasality, vocal length, tonal quality as well as the relationship between types of syllabes and syllabic structures. A considerable part of this section is devoted to the study of tonality, and word formation. The next prominent element of this thesis is the grammatical description of the language. It highlights the attested syntactic structures of the zarma language. The section has a double focus: on one hand the accent is put on the notion of predication rated as the basis of grammatical analysis, and on the other hand it is put on determinative constructions. Here the process of predication and that of determination are conceived as the fundamental enonciative processes. They furnish the basis of the principles necessary for understanding the construction and the functioning of utterances

Full textChadic language belonging to the hamito-semitic famaly, hawsa language is spoken in the north of nigeria, in the middlewest of niger and in certain areas of west africa by approximatively fourty millions native speakers. The objective of this study is to describe the specific methods of creation and integration of new lexical items created or borrowed to denote new concepts and new notions in hawsa. Built up from french writing documents translated into hawsa, our corpus is made of two thousand two hundred and twenty four lexical entries, including four hundred and ninety one lexical borrowings classified as follow : arabe : one hundred and seventy seven ; english : hundred and french two hundred and seventy four loan-words. Other entries come from hawsa itself. We present two bilingual lexicons hawsa french and french hawsa in latin alphabetic order. The socio-economic, culturel and political development of african countries in general and of niger in particular, should go through the real promotion of its languages. The terminological research must be the figurehead of such a promotion because it will favour the enrichment of the language and the denomination of certain technic and scientific notions or concepts

Full textHausa language, the second vehicular language of africa after swahili, numbers about fourty millions speakers. It belong to the chadic family of languages, a branch of the afro-asiatic phylum of greenber's classification. It can be divided into two groups of dialects, mainly eastern and western ones, according to phonetic, morphological, syntactic and lexical differences. This thesis deals with a reference grammar of filinge hausa dialect (niger), one of the western dialects, in which the following points are examined : grammatical categories, derived and compound words, noun and verb phrases, functions and relationship of the primary elements of sentences, structures and classification of sentences, topicalisation and focalisation, and, in an appendix, principal differences between filinge dialect and standard hausa. This thesis is no doubt a contribution to the hausa dialectology

Full textThe purpose of this dissertation is to show, through a synchronic description, the specific features of Gâwôre as a dialect within the overall unity of the Fufulde language. Gâwôre speakers (the Gâwôbe) live in western Niger and northern Burkina Faso. The introduction deals with Fufulde and its internal classifications and provides a general introduction to the Gâwôre dialect and its speakers. The five main parts of the work follow. At the end of each, the characteristic dialect differences are stated in order better to situate Gâwôre within the Fulani family. The first part deals with phonology and phonetics : the vowel and consonant systems are presented, and the phonetic realizations in Gâwôre are described. The second part deals with grammatical categories and word formation. Invariable terms are discussed first, them the rules for combining noun, adjective, and verb roots with their respective grammatical modifiers. The other procedures used in Gâwôre to created new words (composition, reduplication and borrowing) are also considered. The third part describes the noun component and includes remarks on noun substitutes and the noun phrase. Part four, devoted to the verb component, describes all the uses of verb predicates in relation to their subjects. The fifth and last part is devoted to utterance formation, and deals with the different types of verbal and non-verbal utterances. Finally, the features that define the linguistic and social identity of Gâwôre within the Fuflude family are set forth in the conclusion

Full textIn Niger, Kanuri seems to be a minor language relative to its demographic weight and a minored language relative to its official status and its place within the formal reducation and media. The promotion of such a language must be based on various approaches. This work confronts the linguistic productions of kanuri speakers pf niger to their own representations and articulates linguistic questions to the problem of development in africa. It is made of three main sections. In the first section, using polylectal and autosegmental theories, i describe the morphophonology of the kanuri verbal system. Nine different varieties of Kanuri spoken in Niger are directly concerned by this description. In the second section, i analyse representations and attitudes of various Kanuri native speakers in order to revele the relationship that exists in one hand between kanuri varieties and in the other one between kanuri and other national languages. In the last, are developped pratical conditions for the implementation of the kanuri language in various domains of the life of its speakers so that the planning of this language coincides with a real promotion of Kanuri people

Full textThis thesis focuses on the phonological aspect of the /R/ in French language spoken in Niamey, the capital of Niger, a Sub-Saharan country of Africa. The survey has been conducted conforms to theprotocol and the mehology of an international project Phonologie du Français Contemporain (PFC), which aims to collect a large corpus of contemporary French spoken from all around the word. In Niamey, French coexists with others national and local languages: haousa, songhaï-zarma, touareg, peul, kanuri et arabic.In the proposed work at first we have illustrated a phonetic and phonology classification of rhotics class, then we have classified and analyzed our data. We have analyzed all allophones of /R/ produced by the interviewed speakers. These data show that the largest part of the speaker pronounce a vibrant alveolar [r], followed by a fricative uvular [ʁ], and then by [ɰ], [χ], [ɻ] and [ø]. Furthermore, we have compared our results with other PFC studies conducted all around the francophone word. Additionally, we have focused on fall of /R/ in cluster group, and we concluded that this fall depends on the lexicon, and concerns especially numbers pronunciation (for example, quatre [katR]> [kat])
