Publisher Description:
En s'inspirant des travaux ant rieurs (Goffman, Brown & Levinson, Kerbrat-Orecchioni, etc.), cet ouvrage entend pr senter un ensemble de savoirs et de pratiques linguistiques et socioculturels qui sous-tendent et commandent le fonctionnement de la politesse au Cameroun. L'objectif ici est de contribuer, partir des 11 tudes de cas (salutations, termes d'adresse, compliments, travail des faces en contextes plurilingues et multiculturels, politesse en contexte institutionnel, etc.) une meilleure connaissance du style communicatif camerounais.
While making use of previous research (Goffman, Brown & Levinson, Kerbrat-Orecchioni, etc.), this book documents a wide range of linguistic and socio-cultural rules governing politeness practices in Cameroon. Areas covered include: greetings, forms of address, compliments, face-work in multilingual and multicultural contexts, politeness in institutional settings, etc. The aim of the 11 case studies is to contribute to a better understanding of the Cameroonian communicative style .
