Vie et survie des langues “minoritaires”

Abstract

This article broaches the question of the stability of linguistic representations in the light of the 'Linguistic Imagination' model proposed by Anne-Marie Houdebine. An analysis of interviews carried out on the subject of naming (names based on Greek or native contemporary French), evidences the possibility of either stability or fluctuation of attitudes (one speaks of attitudinal stability or fluctuation). We also wish to show that attitudinal fluctuation depends on Linguistic Imagination rather than being the result of the pressions caused by interaction: our demonstration is based on the study of different types of attitudinal fluctuations: provoked or spontaneous (according to the homogenous or heterogenous nature of the objects and circumstances of the discourse involved).
