الملخص EN

Cette étude examine le recours aux citations dans A Man of the People de Chinua Achebe.

Nous utilisons l'approche post structuraliste en convoquant Julia Kristeva, en adoptant une notion et une méthode appelée intertextualité.

Des extraits de ce roman sont analysés.

Les résultats révèlent que les citations utilisées plus fréquemment par l'écrivain dans le roman sont entre guillemets, en italique et en retrait.

Elles remplissent plusieurs fonctions dont la fonction didacttique, la fonction apellative, la fonction ornementale et la fonction esthétique.

Dans A Man of the People les citations sont influencées par le contexte politique qui constitue l'intrigue de la prose.

Les citations dépeignent le contexte socio-politique nigérian.

À travers les citations les politiciens amadouent et persuadent les masses populaires.

This study investigates the use of citations in A Man of the People by Chinua Achebe.

We used the post-structuralism approach, with Julia Kristeva drawing inspiration from Mikhail and adopting a notion and method called intertextuality.

Many excerpts from this novel are analyzed in terms of citation types and functions.

The results reveal that citations are used more frequently by the writer in the novel in quotation marks, in italics, and indenting.

They fulfill the didactic function, the apellative function, and the aesthetic function.

A Man of the People is generally influenced by the political context which constitutes the plot of the prose.

The citations portray a typical Nigerian socio-political context.

The findings reveal that citations in the text are basically used to satirize, ridicule, and mock the political class and also show how politicians coax and persuade the masses with citations.
