ABSTRACT
This thesis titled "etude comparative des determinants en Français et
kanouri "discusses the determiners of these two languages which are from
different background: French is a roman language from indo-European
family and Kanuri is a Chadic language from the Saharan branch of the
Nilo-Saharan languages. The determiners are divided into seven
categories in the two languages: the article, the possessive, the
demonstrative, the interrogative, the exclamative, the numeral, and the
indefinite. The comparative study has shown many similarities and
dissimilarities in the determiners of the two languages. Finally
conclusions were drawn that although the determiners were present in the
system of the two languages, the concept is unique for each language
because the principles and characteristics vary in each language.
Recommandations for further research were made.
