Résumé

Cette étude analyse les métaphores dans le roman sesotho Chaka de Thomas Mofolo. Nous répertorions et analysons les métaphores conceptuelles et linguistiques pour voir si elles sont conventionnelles ou nouvelles, créatives ou non, et leur distribution entre les classes de mots. La plupart des métaphores sont conventionnelles et visent à rendre le texte compréhensible pour les Basothos du début du 20e siècle. Nous observons également des influences culturelles et cognitives du Sesotho, ainsi que des intentions de création littéraire similaire aux textes occidentaux et de promotion du christianisme. Ces liens avec la culture sésotho ont retardé la publication du roman.
