Determinants in standard French vs. Ivory Coast French

As it is written in Ivory Coast French tends to stand out from standard French. Thus for the nominal determination there are difficulties of use and operation. Therefore we hypothesize that the Ivorian languages influence the nominal determination in French. To verify our hypothesis we have carried out a contrastive analysis between the determinant syntagm in French and the determinant syntagm in four main Ivorian languages (Baoulé Bété Dioula Tyebara) from the Kwa Kru Mande and Gur families respectively. In addition we analysed a corpus of newspapers published in Côte d'Ivoire. This allowed us to define six types of syntactic structures through which it is possible to understand the functioning of determinants in Ivory Coast French. Based on these types we made didactic proposals for the improvement of the teaching/learning of French and for an effective introduction of Ivorian languages within the school institution. This is due to the need to use these languages as a medium of instruction.
