Langues créoles dans les Outre-mers français : programme scientifique et projet identitaire
Creole Languages in French Overseas: Scientific Program and Identity Project

Summary/Abstract: The scale of the public debate on creole in the French West Indies and Guiana stresses the tensions which are perceptible in those societies around the question of the viability of a written creole. Indeed the modality of the writing system of this language but also the criteria of its generalization in the educative institutions is still provoking interrogations. This article has the ambition to question the links existing between the formal research on creole linguistic system and the public space in the creolophone French West Indies.
