STRATÉGIES D’ADRESSE ET (DÉ)CONSTRUCTION DE LA RELATION INTERPERSONNELLE : ÉTUDE PRAGMATIQUE DU DÉBAT HERVÉ EMMANUEL NKOM - ALBERT DZONGANG

Abstract

This article analyses, from a comparative and pragmatic perspective, the strategies of address and their implication on the (de)construction of the interpersonal relationship. The situational anchor of this study is a media interaction involving two Cameroonian political figures in a televised duel: Hervé Emmanuel Nkom and Albert Dzongang. Analysis of the forms of address highlights the relational dynamics of the political forces, characterised by generational proximity, political distance, attempts at rapprochement and distancing from the political opponent.
