LA VALEUR LINGUISTIQUE DE L’HYPERBOLE DANS LA LITTÉRATURE AFRICAINE

Abstract

The French language is also rich through its aesthetics - that is, its good use – only in the various parts of speech that do not consider its norm. These deviations, which are not accepted but no longer formally prohibited in the use of the language french, are more than expressive. We find them both in literary works and in daily conversations. Among the figures of rhetoric, or figures of speech or even figures of style, we have the figures of construction, the figures of sound, the figures of meaning. This the latter play an important role in speeches, and they give rise to many questions that have not yet been answered satisfactorily. These questions concern several theoretical and defining aspects of hyperbole through literary works are relating to the actualization of this figure and from a linguistic approach.
