Variation stylistique du stylème « moment » chez Emmanuel Dongala

Abstract

This article studies the stylistic variation of the ‘’moment’’ style in Emmanuel Dongala. It uses the corpus from four novels by this author. Our objective aims to demonstrate that ‘’moment’’ not only has several different discursive constructions, but these constructions notably obey several stylistic effects. In the application of the pragmatic and structural stylistic approaches, our results proved that ‘’moment’’ has several constructions and this produces discursive effects in Emmanuel Dongala bearing on linguistic connotations and language motivation. Key words: moment, stylistic, variation, style
