Summary/Abstract: The ever central position of Thomas Mofolo’s Chaka has often been justified by the novel’s cultural and thematic contents. This paper rather links this long standing reputation of the narrative to the stylistic and linguistic experimentations initiated by the author. Such experimentations have consisted in fusing languages and aesthetic canons of differing cultural zones.
