PEREGRINATIONS OUEST-AFRICAINES A TRAVERS LES MODALITES ASSERTIVES ET EVALUATIVES DANS ALLAH N’EST PAS OBLIGE  D’AHMADOU KOUROUMA
WEST AFRICAN PEREGRINATIONS THROUGH ASSERTIVE AND EVALUATIVES MODALITIES IN ALLAH N’EST PAS OBLIG BY AHMADOU KOUROUMA

Summary/Abstract: The paper examines two enunciative modalities: assertion and the evaluative adjectives. These modalities allow the speaker to modify his/her speech by describing objects and phenomena according to his/her own perception. In this sense, linguists integrate these modalities among the indices of subjectivity in language. In Allah n’est pas oblig , the story focuses on the main character's peregrinations through several countries and cities in West Africa. Implicitly, Kourouma offers the reader a tourist panorama of his course. More precisely, the modalities that we have chosen allow this descriptive function of the language. The enunciation will be used to highlight the speaker's eye perceptions through modal markers. From a pragmatic perspective, we will infer the tourist directions as resulting from their use in the novel.
