Dissertation Abstract:

Martinique, the crossroads island of the Caribbean, sees arrive each year
on its soil thousands of foreign migrants in transit or settle. Its major
town (since it is a French department) is the main stage of these important
movements, by its location - it is located in the center of the island -
but also because of his 'status capital'. It is also generating migration
within the island: the city is inevitable despite a growing
decentralization effort. As a result, the current languages clash,
intermingle and cohabit. The languages of the migrants add to the two
current languages on the ground, French and Creole. They use it as a means
of integration. Our main goal is to exceed this vision of the diglossia
situation within our sociolinguistic literature. We seek to show that there
is a polyglossic case within the report diglossic French / Creole that the
urban language contacts favor. In addition, diglossia not considering the
spatiality, we prefer the concept of ditopie which reflects the spatial
representations of speakers in diglossia situation. We take specially into
account to address those migrants, Foyalais and, on a central theme,
languages, in particular, Creole, and the city. We work in the light of
research carried out within the framework of the urban Sociolinguistics and
the tools it offers.
