Using the framework of Le Page\u2019s acts of identity theory (1986), Labov\u2019s variationist paradigm (1966) and Milroy and Milroy\u2019s social networks theory (1980), the researcher elicited the data through interviews and wordlists. Interviews were done with 21 born Fang speakers living in Souza (long-term migrants and recent migrants), and 5 of them were later on selected for wordlist elicitation. Results from this analysis showed that biography, networks, age\/sex, political causes, and migration are all motivations of lexical variation in Fang and contribute to explaining individual language variability. It is recommended that language material designers and teachers should take into consideration these causes and the lexical items to be able to determine for whom, and for what age the language teaching materials are designed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>FR: Ce travail a \u00e9tudi\u00e9 les causes de la variation lexicale du Fang dans le but de mettre en \u00e9vidence les variations qui se produisent entre les locuteurs de cette langue et de d\u00e9montrer leurs implications sur le d\u00e9veloppement de mat\u00e9riel didactique. En utilisant le cadre de la th\u00e9orie des actes d\u2019identit\u00e9 de Le Page (1986), du paradigme variationniste de Labov (1966) et de la th\u00e9orie des r\u00e9seaux sociaux de Milroy et Milroy (1980), le chercheur a obtenu les donn\u00e9es au moyen d\u2019entretiens et de listes de mots. Des entretiens ont \u00e9t\u00e9 r\u00e9alis\u00e9s avec 21 locuteurs Fang n\u00e9s et vivant \u00e0 Souza (migrants de longue date et migrants r\u00e9cents), et 5 d&#8217;entre eux ont ensuite \u00e9t\u00e9 s\u00e9lectionn\u00e9s pour l&#8217;\u00e9licitation d&#8217;une liste de mots. Les r\u00e9sultats de cette analyse ont montr\u00e9 que la biographie, les r\u00e9seaux, l&#8217;\u00e2ge\/sexe, les causes politiques et la migration sont tous des motivations de la variation lexicale du Fang et contribuent \u00e0 expliquer la variabilit\u00e9 linguistique individuelle. Il est recommand\u00e9 que les concepteurs de mat\u00e9riels linguistiques et les enseignants prennent en consid\u00e9ration ces causes et les \u00e9l\u00e9ments lexicaux afin de pouvoir d\u00e9terminer pour qui et pour quel \u00e2ge les mat\u00e9riels p\u00e9dagogiques de langues sont con\u00e7us.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Lexical Variation in Fang and its Suggestions for Didactic Materials: The Case of Fang Speakers in Souza.
