Singulier et pluriel dans le nom en soninke
L’article est une étude du singulier et du pluriel dans les noms attestés en soninké de Mauritanie, langue mandé également parlée au Sénégal et au Mali. L’objet de l’étude est d’analyser les noms aux niveaux morphologique, synchronique et diachronique, et d’identifier les morphèmes associés, particulièrement ceux qui sont utilisés pour le singulier et pour le pluriel. Les noms du soninké ne font pas usage de plusieurs morphèmes du singulier et du pluriel, comme les langues ouest-atlantiques, mais de deux morphèmes, -ø et -nù, comme les langues mande nord. L’étude discute les travaux antérieurs.
This paper is a study of singular and plural in nouns as used in Soninke of Mauritania, a Mande language also spoken in Senegal and Mali. The aim of the study is to analyse the nouns both at the morphological, synchronic and diachronic levels and to identify the morphemes associated, particularly those used for the singular and for the plural. Soninke nouns do not use several morphemes of singular and plural, as West Atlantic languages, but only two morphemes, -ø and -nù, as Northern Mande languages. The study discuses other studies previously published.
