| Abstract: | Resorting to concepts such as vehicularization, creolization and semantax, Gabriel Manessy demonstrated that a language develops under the combined constraints of culture-specific "ways of thinking" and of social norms inherent to community membership. Manessy devoted the last twenty years in his life to the comparison of the vehicular and the vernacular varieties of the same language, in two kinds of communicative situations, each marked by a different kind of social norms exerting their pressure on the speakers: situations of vehicular communication (ligua franca) and situations of vernacular communication. |
