ORAL NARRATIVE TECHNIQUES IN LES SOLEILS DES INDEPENDENCES AND ALLAH H’EST PAS OBLIGE

Abstract

 The study of oral narrative techniques is a stylistic exercise; a study of style. The usage of some narrative techniques whether oral or literary by an author in preference to other ones, is a stylistic choice. Each writer chooses devices from a set of alternatives. Style is according to Marouzeau (1963:9-10).” The attitude the writer adopts vis-à-vis the material that language supplies to him.... a preference given to this or that expression.”
