<p><strong>R&eacute;sum&eacute; : </strong></p> <p>C&rsquo;est l&rsquo;histoire d&rsquo;une civilisation qui ressemble &agrave; beaucoup d&rsquo;autres, une civilisation qui ne s&rsquo;est pas faite en un jour, mais qui &laquo;&nbsp;tribule&nbsp;&raquo;, parfois titube, depuis plusieurs mill&eacute;naires entre langues et cultures, entre guerres et conflits divers. Est retrac&eacute; ici une br&egrave;ve histoire du Vietnam et de ses m&eacute;tamorphoses sociolinguistiques, culturelles et politiques au fil des si&egrave;cles, depuis ses d&eacute;buts l&eacute;gendaires jusqu&rsquo;au roman national du XXe si&egrave;cle. Le portrait bross&eacute; sur la dur&eacute;e, &agrave; partir de &laquo;&nbsp;tensions&nbsp;&raquo; qui le caract&eacute;rise, permet d&rsquo;entrevoir la complexit&eacute; des interf&eacute;rences &agrave; l&rsquo;&oelig;uvre dans la naissance de la &laquo;&nbsp;nation vietnamienne&nbsp;&raquo; telle qu&rsquo;on la conna&icirc;t aujourd&rsquo;hui&nbsp;: ce qui est aussi l&rsquo;histoire d&rsquo;un idiome qui acc&egrave;de progressivement, et non sans &eacute;cueil, au statut de &laquo;&nbsp;langue nationale&nbsp;&raquo;. Parmi les tensions rep&eacute;r&eacute;es, nous &eacute;voquerons notamment celle qui se d&eacute;ploie entre la langue fran&ccedil;aise et le quốc ngữ (&eacute;criture romanis&eacute;e du vietnamien, ou litt&eacute;ralement &laquo;&nbsp;langue nationale&nbsp;&raquo;) durant l&rsquo;interm&egrave;de colonial, traversant ainsi la question de leur enseignement en regard du contexte.</p> <p><strong>Mots-cl&eacute;s&nbsp;:</strong> entre-langues-cultures, guerres et conflits, Vietnam, portrait de civilisation, histoire sociolinguistique et culturelle, interf&eacute;rences et m&eacute;tamorphoses, enseignement des langues</p> <p><strong>Abstract :</strong></p> <p>It is the story of a civilization that resembles many others, a civilization that was not built in a day, but that has been &quot;triumphing&quot;, sometimes staggering, for several millennia between languages and cultures, between wars and various conflicts. A brief history of Vietnam and its sociolinguistic, cultural and political metamorphoses over the centuries, from its legendary beginnings to the national novel of the twentieth century, is traced here. The portrait painted over time, based on the &quot;tensions&quot; that characterize it, allows us to glimpse the complexity of the interferences at work in the birth of the &quot;Vietnamese nation&quot; as we know it today: which is also the story of an idiom that is gradually, and not without pitfalls, attaining the status of &quot;national language&quot;. Among the tensions identified, we shall mention in particular the tension between the French language and the quốc ngữ (romanized writing of Vietnamese, or literally &quot;national language&quot;) during the colonial interlude, thus crossing the question of their teaching in relation to the context.</p> <p><strong>Keywords </strong>: between languages and cultures, wars and conflicts, Vietnam, portrait of civilization, sociolinguistic and cultural history, interferences and metamorphoses, language teaching.</p> <p>Christine Ly</p> <p class="Textbody" style="margin-bottom:8px"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:&quot;Times New Roman&quot;, serif"><a href="mailto:leslilas.ly@gmail.com" style="color:#0563c1; text-decoration:underline">leslilas.ly@gmail.com</a> </span></span></p>
