Abstract

This analysis focuses on the comparative study between the French language and the Hausa language on certain utterances presenting an aspect of suffix derivation and the case of the French partitive article. This contrastive approach leads us to a morphosyntactic study of these statements taken in Hausa and in French. The connective is a morpheme suffixed to a base and plays the role of a definite article. The partitive article is defined as a part of speech that designates or expresses part of a whole. The approach followed consists in examining the behavior of these parts of the speech through identical and compared examples of these two languages. The purpose of this analysis is to look for the syntactic and morphological problems encountered by Hausaphone learners of the French language. This comparison of a few morphemes placed in a juxtalinear analysis allowed us to bring out syntactic interferences and the resulting problems, particularly at the level of gender and the French partitive article
