International audience The paper deals with strategies for expressing caritive meanings in Mwan (Niger-Congo < Mande < South Mande). The difference between the strategies used in Mwan and in some other languages of the same family (Gban, Looma, Bambara) is discussed. Conclusions are made about the grammaticalization of constructions with the suffix -kle and the postposition blaan into specialized caritive means. L’article traite des stratégies d’expression des significations caritives en mwan (Niger-Congo < Mande < Mande Sud). La différence entre les stratégies utilisées en mwan et en certaines autres langues de la même famille (gban, looma, bambara) est discutée. On en conclut que les constructions avec le suffixe -kle et la postposition blaan subissent le processus de grammaticalisation et se transforment en moyens caritifs spécialisés.
