| description | Abstract : The objective of this study is to show that the frequency of French liaison among Ivorian speakers is related to sociolinguistic factors. In addition, it is first of all a question of presenting the liaison as carried out by different groups of persons. Secondly, to perform a quantitative study in view of the productions and propose finally a didactic result. The results reveal that the implementation of this language practice depends on the characteristics of the respondents. The link rate is based on sex, age, employment, grammatical class of the word, consonant of the link. Concerning this last criterion, for example the link consonant [s] made/z/ admits variations. Consideration of variable links is the reason for the variationist approach used in this work.
