%X Le champ clos de l¡¯injure en pays d¡¯oralit¨¦, c¡¯est la dispute, la querelle verbale. Consid¨¦rant l¡¯ensemble des principaux groupes de parlers berb¨¨res, l¡¯article examine donc d¡¯abord les vocables porteurs de l¡¯id¨¦e d¡¯  agresser par le verbe   pour aboutir ¨¤ cette observation que, comme dans d¡¯autres langues, d¡¯une famille diff¨¦rente m¨ºme, ils ont partie li¨¦e avec l¡¯id¨¦e d¡¯  entamer un derme  . La litt¨¦rature orale insiste : l¡¯apex, depuis la bouche, blesse plus durablement qu¡¯une arme de fer. Puis trois courts textes d s ¨¤ des locuteurs originaires des Ayt Sadden au Maroc, des Ayt Frah dans l¡¯Aur¨¨s, des Irjen en Kabylie, sont scrut¨¦s pour ce qu¡¯ils r¨¦v¨¨lent de la dispute en milieu berb¨¨re : un ¨¦change de paroles d¨¦brid¨¦es et de formules fig¨¦es associ¨¦es ¨¤ une gestuelle, dont l¡¯association v¨¦hicule la menace physique et l¡¯agression morale. Le corps est omnipr¨¦sent, l¡¯individu rapport¨¦ le plus souvent ¨¤ sa lign¨¦e. Certains jeux verbaux s¡¯assortissant dans le m¨ºme milieu d¡¯adresses et d¡¯impr¨¦cations injurieuses, l¡¯article y lit, pour finir, une prop¨¦deutique ¨¤ la domestication des affrontements verbaux. The closed field of insults in verbal cultures is the argument, the oral quarrel. Considering the principal groupings of Berber speeches, the article has a look first at terms conveying the idea of ¡°verbal aggression¡± and concludes with the observation that, as with many languages, including those of other linguistic groups, insults are similar to the idea ¡°of cutting a skin¡±. The oral literature insists: a sharp tongue wounds more durably than an iron weapon. Three short texts by speakers originating from Ayt Sadden in Morocco, Ayt Frah in the Aures region and Irjen in Kabylie, are scanned for what they reveal about arguments in Berber society: exchanges of wild words and fixed formulas associated with gestures which convey a threat of physical and moral aggression. The body is omnipresent and the individual is generally associated with his lineage. Some verbal games come with insulting remarks and curses in which the article sees, in the end, an introduction to the domestication of verbal confrontations.
