Resumé
of the Creole language in relation to French and the consequences for the social
imaginary in Martinique and in the Caribbean. The author formulates
three thematic focal points: Archipelagic thinking, creolisation and dynamic
changes of language forms in a context of power and resistance and, as a
third point, the right to remain ‘opaque’ and the distinction between language
form and ‘langage’. The author argues that we may detect a descriptive and
a prescriptive dimension in Glissant’s thinking about language. In the following
section, the author introduces different sociolinguistic studies of language
practices in Martinique and the Caribbean giving a particular attention
to the school system. The section ends with a brief discussion of how didactics
in language teaching intersects with Glissant’s thinking. The conclusion
presents a proposition of how Glissant’s thought may inspire sociolinguistics
and didactics.
