Abstract:
This essay analyses the plays on words in the novels by Raphaël
Confiant. The writer takes on himself the heritage of orality of Martinican
storytellers, rich in puns and humor. Confiant plays with the
French and Creole vocabularies, but also with the forms of spoken language,
such as set phrases or the network of metaphorical references,
he translates from Creole into French and creating puzzling effects on
the Francophone reader. The nicknames of Confiant’s heroes show
the same inventing and amazing work on words the author carries on
throughout his novels. He reaches the utmost effect of his esthetic in
relating scenes based on misunderstandings coming forth the naivety
of his heroes, quite mistaking the sense, the sound and the real meaning
of some words.
