Le discours francophilophone et ses stéréotypes
The Francophilophone Discourse and Its Stereotypes

Summary/Abstract: In the present paper the authors analyse the current francophilophonic discourse with a special focus on the stereotypes it engenders. We will first detail the concept of francophilophonie and its influence in Romania and then analyse stereotypes based on a corpus made up of official documents, namely: speeches delivered by Mme Michaëlle Jean, Secretary General of La Francophonie and by Mr. Michel Frankard, a reputable linguist and Francophonie-promoter, as well as the French-Speaking Parliamentary Assembly’s Notification at the Dakar Summit (September 2014). Our analysis aims at exposing the effects of stereotypes, whether positive or negative, on the dynamics of contemporary Francophonie, in general, and of the Romanian Francophonie, in particular.
