According to Senghor’s theory of “negro-African” languages and literatures –which derives from the famous opposition between “negro emotion” and “Hellenic reason”– the poetic production of black authors is characterized by asyndeton.

| description | According to Senghor’s theory of “negro-African” languages and literatures –which derives from the famous opposition between “negro emotion” and “Hellenic reason”– the poetic production of black authors is characterized by asyndeton.

Examination of the manuscripts reveals the resemantization of what Senghor called “cement-words”. |
