Sociolinguistique et intersection linguistique : le cas de quelques langues kwa de la côte d’ivoire pour une didactique des langues apparentées

Abstract

This article addresses the issue of lexical similarities between some Kwa languages of Côte d'Ivoire. These languages often use the same item or an item whose pronunciation differs only by one phoneme or one syllable to designate the same reality. We analyze this phenomenon using the notion of linguistic intersection. The aim is to facilitate the choice and teaching of these languages. . To achieve our objectives, this study falls within the general framework of sociolinguistics and language teaching, using comparative linguistics. Through a few items from the six Kwa languages of our work, we proceeded to a lexico-semantic crossing to arrive at the following results: our research revealed two types of (linguistic) lexico-semantic intersection: nominal items having the same meaning are phonetically either totally or partially identical.
