L’imaginaire linguistique féminine camerounaise contemporaine Une analyse transphrastique de Je vous souhaite la pluie d’Élisabeth Tchoungui et Rédemption d’Élisabeth Moundo Ewombè

Résumé

This study starts from an observation: from oral literature to migritude literature via negritude
literature, man has not stopped wondering about the relationships between language and
thought and its impact on language practices themselves. Thus, to observe the texts of
contemporary Cameroonian authors, one can posit that contemporary Cameroonian literature
of French-speaking expression betrays the idea that writers have of the language and
externalizes their imaginations vis-à-vis Cameroon. The linguistic imagination therefore makes
it possible to show as much the work of thought in language as that of language in thought.
From the link of language to thought is induced the link of language to literature: there is no
literature without language. The prose is then offered under their pen as a space where genres,
styles, registers mix, through the crossing of transphrastic structures which describe the crises,
the discomforts, the daily life and the news of the fellow citizens of the authors. The purpose of
this reflection is to examine forms of graphic manipulation that highlight the art that writers of
Je vous souhaite la pluie and Rédemption have of constructing meaning with improvised material,
which forms contribute to the stylization of writing
