Les langues polynésiennes : obstacles et atouts
Abstracts
While French Polynesia is thought to be particularly advanced when it comes to teaching native languages in the Pacific, we realize that thirty years after the first experiments took place, teaching has not evolved in primary schools. And yet, more and more actions promote Polynesian languages: written and oral literary contests; teaching those native languages in primary schools, in secondary schools and at the university; the organization of a day dedicated to Polynesian languages and so on. This article tries to note down all the obstacles in the development of Polynesian languages and to determine why the obstacles persist. It shows our particular interest to preserve and teach these languages.
