L’argot en français en milieu jeune au Cameroun : jeux sémantiques, formels et enjeux identitaire et linguistique
Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2015, Vol 0, Issue 1
Abstract
In this paper, our goal is to study slang among young people in Cameroon. To better explain this parasite language, we will rely on two concepts operational, pragmatic and stylistic, which are important for understanding the process of formation of this very special language. Our work will be divided into three sections: semantic processes of forming slang term, formal processes and, finally, identity and linguistic problems caused by slang practice.
