L'ikposso est une langue du groupe kwa (Greenberg, 1955, 1963) ou du groupe résiduel (Westermann, 1930). Cette langue est parlée au Sud-Ouest du Togo. Elle présente un système spécifique et varié de représentation et de placement des événements dans le temps (Afola-Amey, 2002). Cependant, très peu de travaux ont été réalisés dans ce domaine.
Notre étude porte sur la description du système temporo-aspectuel et modal (TAM) de la langue à travers le mode de placement des événements dans le temps. Elle est menée à partir des récits d'histoires en images translinguistiques de Hickmann, Hendricks, Roland (1992) et Hendricks & Hickmann (1995). Ces récits sont collectés auprès des adultes, des adolescents et des enfants akposso, partie exempte de notre thèse (Afola- Amey, 2002).
Notre but est de contribuer à une meilleure connaissance du mode de représentation des événements et de leur situation dans le temps. Les résultats tiennent compte, à la fois, de la structuration générale des informations dans le récit en ikposso et de l’étude comparée du mode de placement des événements utilisé par les trois types de locuteurs à travers l’emploi de TAM dans les différentes parties du récit.
Ikposso is a Kwa language (Greenberg, 1955, 1963) also said to belong to the Residual group (Westermann, 1930), spoken in the South-Western part of Togo. It is has a varied and specific ways of representing events and placing them on the timeline (Afola-Amey, 2002). However, only a few works have been done in this domain.
In this paper, we describe the tense, modal and aspectual (TMA) system of Ikposso through an examination of the way events are placed on the timeline in narratives. The study is based on cross-linguistic narrative pictures proposed by Hickmann, Hendricks Roland (1992) and Hendricks & Hickmann (1995). These narrated stories have been collected from Akposso adults, teenagers and children. This latter part is not included in our Thesis (Afola-Amey, 2002).
Our purpose is to gain a better understanding of the Ikposso way of representing events and their placement on the timeline through the use of TMA The results reflect the general structure of information in Ikposso narrative stories, as well as the comparative study of the way of events’ placement used by all the speakers through TM A in the various parts of all narratives.
