Mundane practices such as talks and jokes may not only reflect the prevailing gender relations in society, but may also offer opportunities to contest them. Stand-up comedy, as a genre of comedy, is especially suitable in this regard because it is discursive in nature. Stand-up comedians achieve their aim of entertaining and exciting laughter often through gendered manipulations of language — hence, the genre of stand-up comedy offers a veritable site for investigating dominant gender representations in Nigeria. This study seeks to argue that rhetorical strategies are a chief means by which stand-up comedians succeed in their various representations of women and men, and by so doing implicate rhetoric in gender relations of power, as contested in the Nigerian context of stand-up comedy. The data for the study comprise nine selected volumes of two stand-up comedy shows in Nigeria, Nite of a Thousand Laughs and AY Live, which are analysed to examine the rhetorical strategies employed by Nigerian male stand-up comedians in their gendered performances.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Olawale, Chris Lekan'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 46-61]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/625/511]]> application/pdf]]> eng]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/625]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.625]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'The AUYL Truel'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> AUYL]]> deloping]]> game theory]]> Kenya]]> truel]]> Sheng]]> Great post-independence migration from rural areas to urban centers has brought contact and competition to African linguistic gene pools. In Nairobi, Kenya, the main contestants are a trio of English, Swahili, and the indigenous language, making the duel a truel. Though the obvious outcome has been an ecological imbalance in socioeconomics (Mufwene 2008), few studies, other than Laitin and Eastman (1989: 52), have addressed the motivations and constraints on the speakers of the dueling languages. This paper introduces the concept of the truel from game theory (Kilgour & Brams 1997) to analyze and illuminate the linguistic tussle between an ex-colonial language, a native lingua franca, and local African Urban Youth Language (AUYL) practices (e.g., Sheng and Engsh). Mufwene and Vigouroux (2008: 23) argue that the elite keep the ex-colonial language as an entitlement. Nationalists support Swahili as a Pan- Africanist unifier. Historically, however, no one wishes to support anyone else’s mother tongue, so the indigenous language loses out. A series of motivations for each language variety is described, and it is shown that in each case, the player takes a rational strategy in the competition, but produces the illusion that the indigenous language has lost out. This new approach dramatically reduces the impression that the native speaker of indigenous African languages has lost the linguistic battle, and hence makes the rational choices of linguistic practices clearer.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Rudd, Philip'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 36-45]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/624/510]]> application/pdf]]> eng]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/624]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.624]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Cloning the linguistic twin sisters: A Comparative Linguistic Study of French and Yoruba Languages'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> French and Yorùbá languages]]> syllable]]> syllabification of French]]> Phonological features]]> Phonology can be defined as the study of sound patterns and their meanings both within and across languages.

Premised on distinctive feature theory which identifies a set of features adequate for describing the segmental contrasts and phonologically important segment groups observed in languages, this study interrogates the differences in the types of syllables, formation of syllables and the components of the syllabic structures in French and Yorùbá languages with a view to identifying how these two languages negotiate their divergence in phonology and morphology. The study reveals that, that two languages are genetically related does not mean that the two will always share the same phonological, morphological, syntactic and grammatical similarities at all times.

Writing in all its forms guarantees the survival and persistence of human thought, which is how it is transmitted from generation to generation. At the heart of this practice, which is both social and individual, we see the emergence of the need to improve one's learning of spelling, the most obvious component of writing. In fact, with the emergence of Internet and the new means of communication, learning to spell is becoming more and more important. This study questions the dimension of this learning in an adult audience, it aims to identify what this teaching has as specific when it comes to the transmission of a foreign language to adults. The reflection initiated here refers to experimental research. The results of this didactic survey are analyzed with a qualitative methodology that allows the data to be interpreted according to several paradigms. The study of the FLE method used and the learning context gives us multiple analytical leads, the choice of a given approach depends on the characteristic elements of the corpus studied.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Hedid, Souheila'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 27-35]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/621/508]]> application/pdf]]> fra]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/621]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.621]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Women Supporting Women: changing traditional gender perceptions in African women stand-up comedy'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Gender ideology]]> African females]]> stereotypes]]> challenge]]> change]]> joking performance]]> Stand-up comedians do not only aim to get their audience entertained. They also try to trigger audience epistemic and ideological engagement with different humour contents. This is done by them through the transactional frames of ideologies and social identity embedded in comedic routines. This study seeks to analyse a growing presence of Rapport management framework and gender representations that challenge and seek to change existing gender stereotypes about women not supporting women. Three female African stand-up comedians have been selected for this study. Two joking performances of Helen Paul (Nigeria comedian), Tumi Morake (South African comedian), and Heiress Jacinta (Ghanaian comedian) were transcribed using the researchers’ notations. Four jokes each were purposively selected from the performances of each of the comedians, and the transcribed data was analysed using Spencer-Oatey’s (2000) Rapport Management theory, and van Dijk’s (2000) ideological Square. The study reveals that African female comedians identify gender binaries and they use their jokes to project ideologies about it. These ideologies influence perceptions of the social identity of the African woman. It is evident, from the data, that the African female comedians predominantly challenge ideologies that are not positive about the female gender, sometimes by ‘de-emphasising positive things about the male gender’, but also by emphasizing female rapport that busts contrary stereotypes. In the process, the female comedians deploy several different linguistic strategies, which the study also explores.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Osuolale, Ajayi Ibukun'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 164-174]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/620/507]]> application/pdf]]> eng]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/620]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.620]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Les aspects linguistiques et extralinguistiques en Traduction'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> translating]]> extralinguistic]]> culture]]> French]]> Yoruba]]> teaching]]> translation]]> extralinguistic]]> culture]]> French]]> Yoruba]]> teaching]]> Linguistic and extralinguistic aspects in Translation
Translation as a sub-discipline of Applied Linguistics is today a scientific interdisciplinary practice. Culture as intertwined with language could not therefore, most of the time, be separated from the culture of the speakers of a particular language or from their linguistic interactions and engagements. Based on this, the extralinguistic aspects come in. The authors of this article therefore make a trial to link French language and Yoruba, a language notably spoken in the South-West of Nigeria. We discover that there are more dissimilarities than similarities in relation to French and Yoruba in particular. These are the problems emanated from translation and only linguistics, that is the use of language itself, can resolve it.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Adebayo, Alao Pascal'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Oladele, Tanitolorun Ezekiel'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 210-220]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/619/505]]> application/pdf]]> fra]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/619]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.619]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Imaginaire linguistique anglophone en rapport avec le bilinguisme officiel au Cameroun'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Glottopolitical interventions]]> glottophobia]]> English-speaker]]> Francophone]]> linguistic imagination]]> self-marginalization]]> self-exlusion]]> Glottopolitical inerventions]]> Glottophobia]]> English-speaker]]> Francophone]]> linguistic imagination]]> self-marginalization]]> self-exlusion]]> Anglophone linguistic imaginary in relation to official bilingualism in Cameroon
The author of this article examines, from a sociolinguistic angle, the image that the English- speaking Cameroonian believes to be the one that the French-speaking Cameroonian has of him. To achieve this, we used a corpus made up of literary and political discourses. The common denominator of these two sources of the corpus is that they allow the profile of many glottopolitical interventions which are, according to Henri Boyer, 1997: 29), "the act of individuals (personalities more or less known in general), groups and/or associations of language activists […] they often have a strong claiming and polemical content, based on an identity ideology and a regionalist or nationalist political option”. They betray a linguistic imagination strongly marked by a feeling of glottophobia of which English-speaking Cameroonians claim to be victims.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Ebongue, Augustin Emmanuel'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 98-112]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/618/504]]> application/pdf]]> fra]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/618]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.618]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Hierarchies and coloniality: students' language ideologies and attitudes in Cape Town'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> language]]> attitudes]]> students]]> effects of Enlish dominance]]> This paper focuses on the ideologies surrounding language that are produced by a cohort of students in their first year at a South African university, in order to investigate how dominant power- discourses are reproduced.

This article deals with the question of how selected insights from intercultural philosophy can enrich translation studies. This concerns the aspects of the dynamic concept of culture and the avoidance of essentialism, as well as the ability to change perspectives and thus also the avoidance of stereotyping, generalizations and the absolutization of supposed findings about the culture in question. It is assumed that the findings can be of use in translation teaching. The extensive overlap of concerns in translation studies and philosophy shows that mutual awareness of discourses in the two fields enhance translation theory and deepen research in philosophy. Therefore, it addresses the core of philosophical problems related to the philosophy of mind, including the nature of knowledge, decision making, and the perception of other minds, as well as cognitive and social functions such as intention, action, communication, and ethics. Despite, and sometimes even because of, disagreements in philosophical circles about all these issues, translation teachers, translation scholars, and translators themselves have much to gain by addressing the big questions raised by philosophers, critical responses to philosophical arguments, and the substantive value of philosophical writings when compared to the body of descriptive translation data and theoretical frameworks that have emerged in translation studies.]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'Faiz, Alshehri'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Traduction et Langues; Vol 16 No 1 (2017): Traduction et Langues Volume: 16 Numéro: 01 / Août 2017; 7-26]]> 2600-6235]]> 1112-3974]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1]]> University of Oran 2 Mohamed Ben Ahmed]]> 2017-08-31]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/616/502]]> application/pdf]]> deu]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/article]]> info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion]]> Peer-reviewed Article]]> https://revue.univ-oran2.dz/revuetranslang/index.php/translang/article/view/616]]> 10.52919/translang.v16i1.616]]> var options = { attributes: { rel: 'nofollow', title: 'click to open', }, className: '', format: { url: function (value) { return value } }, ignoreTags: ['a'], validate: { url: function (value) { return value; } } }; var str = 'مفهوم الأدب عند مصطفى ناصف'; document.write(linkifyHtml(str, options)); ]]> Contextual criticism]]> aesthetic criticism]]> Mustafa Nasif]]> Arab criticism]]> symbol]]> critical approaches]]> contextual criticism]]> aesthetic criticism]]> Mustafa Nasif]]> Arab criticism]]> symbol]]> critical approaches.]]> The concept of literature according to Mustafa Nasif

He based his approach to heritage texts on a methodological framework that relied on a set of Western approaches that he tried and adapted to serve the heritage text, preserving its cultural specificity with the motive of renewing the tools of understanding to remove many of the psychological barriers that exist between us and our heritage. He also presented a set of critical studies, theoretical and applied, in an attempt to clarify the characteristics of the theoretical advocacy that he deems appropriate for the analysis of literary works.
