| Shrnutí: | In each and every culture, the popular language is a privileged linguistic field of creation as far as insults are concerned. The popular French of Ivory Coast (“nouchi”) is no exception and the stock of insults are renewed by a permanent dynamics in urban communication, where quarrels are frequent and where nouchi is vividly in use. The practice of verbal insult in the Ivory Coast urban context is presented and set within the larger perspective of (Socio)Linguistics (i.e. Labov, Lagorgette, Ruwet). The mechanisms of this continuous creation (lexical items, periphrases used as direct vocative insults) are then established. Insistence is placed on linguistic processes (borrowing from local languages; lexical hybridisation or paraphrase between French and local languages; reactivation or reanalysis of French idioms) as well as stylistic and rhetorical processes (formulaic speech figures, motivation by the immediate environment of the metaphoric creation: news, manufactured products, TV soaps, etc.). This is followed by a consideration of the main themes of the corpus and of their contextual meaning. Finally, hypotheses are formulated on the reasons for the dominance of certain themes in the urban, popular community of Ivory Coast. |
