spoken French, interpretation, sociolinguistics, cultural context, themesAbstract
The study is about the interpretation of spoken French built on themes: coded message, relative, delinquency, hospitality, meeting, corruption, superstition, syntax, phonetics, etc. which give some ideas of a double set of sociolinguistic and cultural context of words and expressions in French. By applying the variational and systemic approaches, it is possible to explain why language changes in meaning from one part of the world to another. It is hoped that this study will permit non Chadians to understand what could be described as “specific French” spoken in Chad compared with “global French” which is known as standard French.

REZUMAT
Studiul se concentrează pe interpretarea limbii franceze vorbite, construită pe teme precum mesajul codificat, rudenia, delincvenţa, ospitalitatea, întâlnirea, corupţia, superstiţia, sintaxa, fonetica etc. Analiza realizată oferă idei cu privire la contextele sociolingvistic şi cultural ale glosemelor şi sintagmemelor din limba franceză. Prin aplicarea abordărilor variaţionale şi sistemice, este posibil să se explice de ce limba îşi schimbă conţinutul de la o parte a lumii la alta. Sperăm că acest studiu va permite non-chadienilor să înţeleagă ce ar putea fi descris ca „franceză specifică” vorbită în Ciad, în comparaţie cu „franceza globală”, cunoscută şi sub numele de franceză-standard.
