Orality, in these societies, is the effect as much as the cause of the particular mode of social being of the African man (Aguessy 1979). An African man is socially configured by orality.

Moreover, according to Diagne (2005), the process by which this cultural formatting, specific to traditional African societies is carried out, is the “dramatization”. Dramatization is the ruse of oral reason (Diagne 2005). The aim of this paper is to grasp, through the process of dramatization, cultural particularities of argumentation in traditional African societies. In order to do so, the analysis focuses on the discursive practices through which dramatization is revealed.
