Résumé
P. Alexandre - On Some Practical Problems in African Onomastics: Topo-, Anthropo-, and Ethnonymy. These two papers approach the problems of writing or spelling African languages from slightly different angles: M. Diki-Kidiri's is more generai and closer to scientific linguistics, P. Alexandre's is restricted to proper nouns and more oriented toward editorial needs. Both plead for pragmatic rules and favour deviation from strict phonemic principles for the sake of practicality.
