Abstract
Michka Sachnine, linguist, ethno-linguist and initiator of Yoruba´ studies at the French National Institute of Oriental Languages and Civilisations (INALCO, France), has worked relentlessly on the development of the teaching and research of Yoruba´ language and culture. Widely acclaimed in France and beyond for her scholarly qualities, she has transmitted knowledge to countless students and young researchers all of whom have been deeply touched by the attention received. This festschrift is a collection of articles written in French or in English whose authors echo voices coming out of Nigeria, Brazil, Cuba, USA, Greece and France. It is a pluridisciplinary exploration of different aspects of Yoru`ba´ language and culture which highlight the diversity and the vitality of research in this domain. Each article is preceded by its author’s a personal message addressed to Michka Sachnine, an approach that gives this work an intimate tone seldom encountered in academic discourse.
