Summary/Abstract: In the francophone space, the use of the concepts of value and valence allows us to determine that there is an ambivalent realities of the most essential, such as those relating to language and culture. Thus, there would be for example several types of francophony, even within this institution that wants yet unified and inclusive of differences. So, this seems to conceal a kind of domination, across linguistic and cultural, which is therefore a blow to the ideal of exchanges and equality, which must govern the relationship among francophone people.
