Les variétés du français dans la réception en classe de littérature francophone du secondaire au Cameroun
Varieties of French in reception in secondary French-speaking literature classes in Cameroon

Summary/Abstract: Reception figures prominently in French classes. This activity is based on the textbooks in the program. The pedagogical use of these textbooks reveals a proliferation of languages in contact. Borrowing from the general theory of reception, this study is based on a hundred occurrences extracted from African works used as reading manuals in French programs in Cameroon in order to exploit, analyze and interpret the varieties of French present in these works. The study of ethno-signs and socio-culturemes has enabled us to identify African phraseology and onomastics, learn through orality, and determine the didactic value of songs. Analyzing the significance of the diversity of languages in the examined works reveals a multilingual syntax which refers to a linguistic dynamism or even a questioning of linguistic purism. From these readings, there emerges a harmonious cohabitation of languages that evolve together and tolerate each other.
