Le Camfranglais : une analyse de quelques relations lexicales

Journal Title: Argotica - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 1

Abstract

The ‘Camfranglais’: an analysis of some lexical relations Its heterogeneous and diverse lexicon characterizes Camfranglais, a mixed language born in the political capital of Cameroon. We propose in this article to analyse some of the lexical relations between the words of this language. This study is based on a corpus of data conversations of camfranglais speakers recorded in situ from a Dictaphone in some neighbourhoods of the city of Yaoundé. This data of conversations of those speakers have been processed and converted into analysable elements from the google transcribe software. For their analysis, lexicology has been called; anything that lead us to focus on the presentation of camfranglais (I), on the composition of the lexicon of camfranglais (II) and lexical relations existing between the elements of its lexicon (III).
