Derrière et Maintenant en usage Camerounais: essai de Grammaire Descriptive.

Abstract

Some Cameroonian locutors of french language utter the morphemes derrière and maintenant, a peculiar use the language. The latter is x-rayed at lexico-semantic and syntaxic levels. In fact, the preposition derrière challenges the preposition sur because of their closeliness in the native languages. However, it is a wrong use of the language. In addition, it generates wrong verbal clauses. As far as the preposition maintenant is concerned, its use is a result of spontaneous constructions meant to replace adverbs of time in standard french. These morphemes should be appropriately used in order to avoid the consequent errors made by Cameroonian speakers.
