Les syntagmes nominaux en soninké
La présente étude est consacrée aux syntagmes nominaux (formations de deux noms) attestés en soninké de Mauritanie, une langue mandé également parlée au Sénégal et au Mali.
L’objectif de l’étude est d’analyser les formations sur les deux plans théorique et descriptif. Les syntagmes nominaux en soninké sont soumis aux deux modes de formation associatif et déterminatif, dans lesquels on trouve, d’une part, les syntagmes réduplicatif (appelé pluralisatif par l’auteur), distributif, comitatif, coordinatif et alternatif, et, d’autre part, les syntagmes complétif, qualificatif, appositif (appelé assimilatif) et comparatif. L’étude discute et complète les travaux antérieurs.
This paper is a study of nominal groups (two-noun formations) as used in Soninke of
Mauritania, a Mande language also spoken in Senegal and Mali. The aim of the study is to
analyse the formations both at the theoretical and descriptive levels. Soninke nominal groups
are subjected to associative and determinative patterns of formation, in which are reduplicative (called pluralisative by the author), distributive, comitative, co-ordinative and alternative groups on the one hand, and completive, qualificative, appositive (called assimilative by the author) and comparative groups on the other. The study discusses and completes other studies previously published.
