Description
Summary:Translinguism is becoming more and more motif which crosses the diegetic universe of Francophone narrative fiction. By its obsessive redeployment, the concept aligns with the dynamics of transculturality. Thus, in the corpus, which serves as the basis for this development, languages interact with the French language to produce coherent and intelligible narratives. From the perspective of Basarab Nicolescu’s transdisciplinarity, this article aims to explore the functioning of translinguism and its axiology through the writing of the Togolese writer Kangni Alem. For that purpose, the argumentation addresses the aesthetic and symbolic dimensions of the English language as well as the inclusion of the writer’s mother tongue gbe in the lens of language globalization.
