Assimilation and semantic transfers of lexical borrowings in media discourse

The word hijab can be presented as a xénisme, but it knew a semantic change in media discourse, the integration process allows to see its evolution in relation to the historical, cultural and ideological events and of course political. The original reference, the garment (clothing) is not present in the Hexagone; That is why, by metonymy slip, media discourse such as lexicographical discourse retains, at the semantic level, just a portion of the garment (clothing, the veil. This is what some suggest discursive denominations. Hijab, at least in this metonymic sense, denominates not a non-existent reality in France, but a new reality; the label of "xénisme" appears once in partially inadequate. For their part, the words scarf and veil expanded their polysemy in the form of semantic neologisms as they can name this new reality; the Islamic veil, as well as to the Islamic headscarf.

This story involves the complexity of Lebanon clash sees on its soil different cultures, religions, and the discovery of the West through moving characters to explore their legends, their tragedies and joys and evoke their community affiliations, religious, national and cultural. These characters are sometimes designed as mystical beings or Freemasons, sometimes as teachers or traders; they have the fever of adventure in the blood when they cultivate the passion of exile or nomadism. A priori, it is in the critical prose that fits the test Origin Amine Maalouf, in which the author deals with modesty and restraint family destiny dispersed between several geographic eras, from Cuba to New York, to Beirut to the villages of the Mount Lebanon to France.

Plurilingualism and Language Policy: The case of Algeria
Authors: Boukreris Louafia
Published: September 2023

The present article will reveal the complexity observed on the national, institutional and individual levels to bring to satisfaction the language policy, known as the Arabization policy; the Algerian government has developed since independence. This policy which seeks to promote and generalize the Arabic language to all domains of use has been trapped within the challenge of global development. In fact, the importance and urgency attached to industrialization and modernism has cooled off the strong political enthusiasm for Arabization. The policy has been implemented in a de-facto plurilingual tendency for academic and professional purposes. As a process, it has evolved in the least scientific and technological disciplines and in the least demanding academic levels (the levels of education). In addition to French which is seen as the vehicle for technology, English is joining the sociolinguistic scene. The Algerian linguistic landscape displays strongly this tendency and calls for the Arabic language management along the evolving plurilingual situation.

The Linguistic Situation in The Maghreb: The Visibility of Languages through Tunisia as a Case Study

The written form of language is a wide field and so here the "visibility of languages" is limited to the aspect that languages are perceptible to the eyes, namely on signs. The relevant examples all come from the Maghrebi country of Tunisia. These are the undirectedly acquired languages, which primarily include Tunisian Arabic, Derya, and to a much lesser extent the Berber languages, Jewish Arabic and French, so that in Tunisia has a homogeneous language situation. In addition, there are the languages that are acquired in a controlled manner, which primarily includes written Arabic, the Fusha. This range of languages is supplemented by the foreign languages French and English as compulsory subjects. Chinese, German, Italian, Russian or Spanish is offered as a compulsory elective in the modern language branch. Thanks to its rich historical heritage and its educational system, Tunisia is linguistically diverse and the signs reflect this wealth in many different ways.
Thirdness and its bearings on students’ views of the ‘Other’: Tying the knot between the literary and the intercultural
Authors: Boughouas Lemya , Ouahmiche Ghania
Published: September 2023

Admittedly, English language teaching philosophy should not include preaching about linguistic and communicative skills solely. The shortcomings of the preceding approaches result in students being unable to solve problems of cultural clashes, probable to take place in learning English. Hence, the insertion of the intercultural paradigm as a new educational philosophy facilitates the process of discovering other foreign cultural dimensions and enjoying that cultural difference most importantly. It gives for urging students to get along with the calls of active learning in creating a third space of interculturality from which to consider the other. The world of literature is a perfect depiction of the sociocultural realities of people and so it offers a short path through the way of learning about certain social conducts that were up till then alien. Equipping students with aspects of thirdness will help them develop positive perceptions towards the content being read in English. This paper provides the theoretical background that led to the inclusion of the concept of thirdness with its relation to language and literary text. It also suggests some classroom activities for the sake of fostering a positive stance towards the foreign culture.
Investigating Language Contact Situation in Algeria
Authors: Negadi Mohamed Nassim
Published: September 2023

This article attempts to describe the linguistic situation in Algeria from the perspective of language contact as Algerians use languages that are genetically unrelated. The language situation in Algeria is an open issue. Even if it is agreed that Arabic is the mother tongue of almost all Algerians (except for Berbers), the contact situation has imposed the implantation of borrowings and expressions from other languages, mainly French, the legacy of the colonizer. The method of investigation is based on short recordings from daily life. The data obtained illustrate the language dynamics among Algerian speakers and reveal, on the other hand, estimation on the parts of speech that are most borrowed.
Allgemeine Überlegungen zur Entwicklung Sprechkompetenz

General considerations for developing speaking skills

In recent years, the development of communication skills has been recognized as a central goal of foreign language teaching (FU). This tendency was accentuated in the course of so-called communicative didactics in newer DaF syllabuses, curricula and textbooks. For the learner, however, the learning objective “oral communication” remains an existing challenge in German lessons, especially since speaking and listening skills are closely linked. Both together determine the degree of verbal ability to act, i.e. the "communicative competence". Furthermore, the development of speaking skills relates to other skills. Listening and speaking in class are the two actions that should be realized through communication; Speaking and writing are two productive skills, they appear in the classroom as mediators and target activities. Tharough this paper, it is clearly stated that the speaking skill has an important place in methods of teaching a foreign language, especially mediation. Speaking alone is not enough, the teacher should contribute other sub-skills to promote speaking skills. The use of the media serves as an opportunity to develop speaking skills among students. Also, social and exercise forms should also be used in speaking. Henceforth, learning speaking is a target in foreign language classroom situations which should take into consideration. The acquisition of such a skill should be emphasized through media use. Some factors contribute to the development of oral competence, namely social and other typology activities which were discussed in this research paper.
Diasporic Voices: Cultural Dislocation and Search for Home in Diana Abu-Jabers’s Arabian Jazz and Laila Halaby’s West of the Jordan
Authors: Fali Wafaa
Published: September 2023

his paper is concerned with literary and postcolonial facets of resistance and identity negotiation as concepts through which to approach representations of postcolonial conflicts in contemporary Arab-American women’s writings. These concepts operate at various levels of narratives and open new ways for remembering, narrating, and reading experiences via problematizing the discourses of Arab women’s experiences in diaspora. This paper aims to posit negotiation as a concept of writing and reading which actively engages events, discourses which implies pluralistic conception of social, political, and cultural agency. More specifically, the study explores the ways in which novelists descending from Arab origins, Diana Abu-Jaber and Laila Halaby, deploy negotiation and resistance as tools for aesthetic and socio-political engagement in postcolonial narratives to escape hegemonization. It is a reflection on the notion of hybrid identities and varied cultural provenance of non-native writings. Through its negotiated and interdisciplinary approach to narratives of alienation along with multi-consciousness of identity, this paper does not only engage with multiple discourses derived from postcolonial studies. It also intervenes into the conceptions of nation, memory, and accountability.
Existentialist style and ethics in Armah’s fragments and Why Are We So Blest?
Authors: Bouahadiba Malika
Published: September 2023

This paper attempts to explore the existentialist dimension of Armah’s two novels. It particularly aims at demonstrating Armah’s indebtedness to Sartre and Camus. It draws a comparative study between Fragments and Sartre’s Nausea, and between Armah’s Why Are We So Blest? and Camus’s The Outsider. It argues that though Armah has used these works as models, he has himself brought a significant contribution to the Existentialist novel by Africanising it and blending two styles and philosophies of life, Western and African.
The IMF and the World Bank in Ghana in the 1980’s Which solutions to the economic depression?
Authors: Djebaili Walida
Published: September 2023

This article sheds light on an important period in the history of Ghana in the 1980’s, when the country was ruled by the Provisional National Defense Council (PNDC) of Jerry John Rawlings. Since 1966, the country witnessed a succession of political upheavals which plunged its economy into a severe crisis. When Rawlings took the reins of power after a military takeover on 31 December 1981, he found no other alternative than the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank to get the country from the crisis. These proposed a scheme that required a set of austerity measures of which many in the Ghanaian political class did not approve. The economic reconstruction programme imposed a drastic devaluation of the national currency and a significant curtailment of the state’s role in economy. This inevitably led to a substantial suppression of state subsidy on many necessary items. The situation was hard for Ghanaians but Rawlings finally triumphed to secure the necessary popular support to carry the scheme through, and to greatly stabilize the national economy and save it country from a total collapse.

Multilingualism and its Impact on Teaching Foreign Languages in Algeria

Our research, tagged with (bilingualism and its impact on the teaching of foreign languages in Algeria) revolves around two main areas: the first area is the definition of linguistic pluralism, as well as the linguistic map in Algeria, while the second is portrayed in clarifying the role of this pluralism and its relationship with other foreign languages. It is worth noting that multilingualism in Algeria is a sociolinguistic phenomenon adopted in our society in particular, since ancient times, and in North Africa in general. Also, the development of the so-called secondary languages, the opening of borders and communications via satellite in the era of globalization and the introduction of new and modern technologies for information and communication, as well as the movement of professors across the world. All these factors contributed to the activation of the extensive use of foreign languages. In this regard, we discussed in this brief study the map of foreign languages in Algeria, so that we find, in particular, in the remote areas of the country, that languages are overlooked in one way or another. Certainly, Algerians deeply love their national language, as well as the Berber language, and they also love other foreign languages that allow them to communicate and flourish in various scientific and professional fields. The problem that arises lies in how to exploit linguistic pluralism for the purposes of teaching, as well as its effect on the process of pedagogical training for Algerian students.

German Youth Language: Development or decay of Deutsch?

The German youth language has developed rapidly in recent years, meanwhile it is a distinguishing feature for every group of young people, i.e. every age group of young people has his own language. This phenomenon has been studied more and more in language laboratories over time. Young people in Germany today almost speak a different language, a mixture of English words that are sometimes difficult to understand. This article talks about this kind of communication between teenagers, and discusses how they were able to completely change their language, making it almost impossible to understand. The question of why actually such expressions are used, mainly those comprising many foreign words and not the words that already exist in the German language. This, this article discusses the German youth language or Youth Communication (German: Jugendsprache) on the basis of a description of the linguistic patterns and characteristics almost used by German adolescents as well as the motives behind such as use.

Memory as the Driving Force of a quest in "Forgotten Sentinel" and "10 years of solitude" by Bouziane Benachour

We propose in this paper to interrogate Benachour’s writings and his report to the memorial writing. The starting point of our discussion will be the articulation of fiction and forms of language involved in the novels of Bouziane Benachour. Furthermore, we will question this subject formulation and especially the new form particularly singular enough of this writing. It seems important at this level to state that the fact of approaching closer these novels showed us some writing processes that we did not realize before. We insista on the fact that these diversed and varied forms have always been parts of the romantic storyof the Maghreb in terms of theme. Put otherwise, this form of writing is problematic in many respects, since it in no way meets the so-called traditional form of the Algerian novel that combines and links the symbol to reality, in novelistic structures dominated by imagination; or space refers to violence broken out of a whole period. For this, we will consider Benachour corpus cases "forgotten Sentinel" and "Ten years of solitude".
Designing an ESP Course for Engineers in SAMSUNG Engineering Work Site in Timimoun
Authors: Boubekeur Lahcen , Benyelles Radia
Published: September 2023

It is not an overstatement to claim that the field of English for Specific Purposes (ESP) has made a great jump in Algeria in the last decade. Moreover, designing an ESP course is one of the important steps in ESP. Entitled “Designing ESP Course for Engineers”, this work aims at designing a course targeted to engineers in SAMSUNG ENGINEERING WORK SITE in TIMIMOUN. Among the main problems encountered by both teachers and engineers is the lack of adequate and appropriate ESP courses and the lack of English language teachers in general and ESP teachers in particular. The study is based on analyzing the needs of the target group (Engineers), and the evaluation of a course. The needs analysis in this action research has been conducted using different tools. The results of the study show that almost all participants (engineers) need an ESP course, with the predominant needs which are speaking and listening first, followed by reading, writing and translation as a fifth skill. They also need vocabulary related to their specific knowledge in order to deal with their jobs. Moreover, this study suggests to take into account the learners’ needs, their level, the degree of motivation and the evaluation of the students’ performances throughout the course as well as the evaluation of the ESP course itself.

Why Privileging Generic Approach to Detective Storiesin FLE Classes

This article is the result of an involved research, carried out during our doctoral research related to the issue of writing and which falls within the framework of didactics of the literary text. A research which aimed to propose it in Algerian colleges (whose teaching-learning of French as a foreign language responds exclusively to a textual typology) a new approach in the teaching-learning of French as a foreign language in general, and of writing specifically. It is a question of projecting our views into a new dialectic of reading- writing which favors a generic approach to literary works in the FLE class. With the intention of essentially developing the scriptural competence among Algerian middle school pupils, we have opted for the introduction of literature by genres in FLE classes, and mainly, the reading of the complete literary work. Knowing that going to complete works is one of the objectives of middle school education in Algeria, where the learner is invited to move from school reading to social reading. This article is then to plan for a new dialectic reading-writing with a generic approach wich favors literary works in FFL classes. To do so, the romance genre object of our proposal in this article is the detective novel.

The “language of geniuses or genisti”: On the tracks of an emerging young language in Cameroon

The technological changes that societies are currently undergoing, characterized, among other things, by ease of communication in the world of mediated electronic discourse (DEM), have direct consequences on our linguistic behaviors. As a result, sociolinguists have plenty to do because they are faced with linguistic phenomena that call into question, and render obsolete the truths of yesteryear, or that suggest new avenues of research. In sociolinguistics, this is felt more and more by the new language forms that emerge due to certain cultural and sociological changes. The present study focuses on the analysis of a new language form, in particular “the language of geniuses”, a young speech form that is budding in the city of Yaoundé. This sociolect, which arises from the desire of cloth sellers in a sector of the Mokolo market called “South Africa”, invented to distinguish themselves from others, and exclude anyone who does not belong to their sector of activity, is gaining momentum, gaining more speakers and is gradually spreading throughout the city.
Le Bilinguisme Franco-Arabe en Algérie

Published: September 2023

Franco-Arab Bilingualism in Algeria

The objective of this article is to give an overview on key historical moments that have implemented the two most used languages currently in Algeria, namely, Arabic and French. First, the Arab civilization implants and spreads with Islam. The French colonization spared no effort to impose its language to Algerians. The French language considered an effective means of war which will allow France to set up on Algerian territory according to the French Ministry of War. Then, scientists are stepping up to define the concept of ̋bilingualism” to better circumscribe the scope of research. Finally, can we say that there are two categories of bilingual in Algeria, compounds bilingual and coordinated bilingual. At the end of this article, we can say that the notion of bilingualism is a topical notion that deserves more interest. Indeed, Franco-Arab bilingualism in Algeria has its reasons because the Arab and the French have coexisted together for more than a century. It has become above all a language choice of the Algerian speaker. Also, there is no perfect bilingualism and it would be absurd to impose the notion of competence in both languages. The current situation in Algeria requires the speaker to use both linguistic codes. This is why we say that it is up to the speaker to choose the languages he best handles in his communication and that bilingualism is vital for Algerian speakers from the same socio-cultural background. As a conclusion, we would like to ask these questions which could open up other fields of research in the field of bilingualism: Could bilingualism be perceived as a translation process in Algeria? And Could bilingualism enhance the cognitive and linguistic flexibility of an early learner?

Contribution of Technical language to Vocabulary Learning in Deutsch Classes

Languages help the speaker in the process of communicating with others and also in understanding the content of the message addressed to interlocutors. The acquisition of language is very important in the processes of communication, speaking and expressing oneself, as it contains a system, which in turn contains a set of vocabulary. The basis of teaching foreign languages is not only communicating information to the student, but also on teaching vocabulary. The language of specialization or the language of terminology is considered a complex domain because it contains different fields. It plays an important role in learning foreign languages through its own terminology in each field. This work aims to clarify how these terms are presented when teaching the language of specialization. When the student learns the German language, his prime objective is to communicate with others, to speak about various fields for particular purposes. In direct communication, he uses special words and terms in various fields. Therefore, the acquisition of these terms is very important in the process of communicating with specialists. The purpose of the research paper consisted in showing how the technical language helps acquisition of technical vocabulary. This article gave an overview of the role of technical language in acquiring a lot of vocabulary or technical vocabulary. Students of Deutsch should be prepared for real interaction situations in any area with experts who speak the German language. At the end of their studies, they should be able, among other things, to present products, understand specialist subjects and communicate effectively in Deutsch.

Which language(s), wee and woozy linen? Deutschcourse at the CEIL intensive foreign language center of Algerian universities

Foreign language learning has become a must in Algerian universities in recent years due to its concrete importance in the higher education context and at the international level. Algerian students, lecturers (researchers) and university members have become aware in recent years about the need to learn and/or master at least one foreign language. In order to meet the increasing demand for foreign language learning in higher education, many Algerian universities have initiated intensive foreign language centers (des centers d'enseignement intensif des langues étrangères). Several world languages are offered for learning such as French, English, German, Spanish, Chinese, etc. Learning German occupies an important place at these intensive foreign language centers and is requested and/or offered at many settings at Algerian universities. This article first provides a brief overview of the German courses offered at these institutions and then specifically addresses the questions of the teaching and learning materials used, the curriculum and the various learning objectives of learning German. In fact, various steps can be recorded in the design or conception of a specific textbook for German learners at the intensive language centers of Algerian universities, which are briefly presented at the end of this article. First, the language needs and the learning goals of the German learners are considered in more details in order to create a general curriculum. Of course, the necessary basic elements of the German language must be made available to the CEIL German learners in the initial lessons. Later, after an intensification of the German learning in the sense of the intensive course, further linguistic means or competencies from the university area in Germany could be used in the textbook in order to meet the needs of learners. Last but not least, the linguistic requirements and the adequate communication needs should be taken into account in the textbook. Also, the learners’ autonomy should be promoted because the aim of this experiment (creating a specific textbook for the CEIL German learners) is to get the CEIL German learners prepared for independent learning of the German language. Instrumental motivation certainly has a positive influence on the achievements of the CEIL learners. Accordingly, the CEIL German lessons can be improved by the textbook and other practical materials to keep pace with the course developments.

Teaching Literary Texts in Secondary Education

The teaching and analysis of the literary text at the secondary level requires a reconsideration of the pedagogical method, the technicality and the general and specific objectives. Result of many changes that the current world is experiencing, our didactics must be linked to the contemporary and current demands of the situation. This article allows us to highlight our concerns in this area. Many questions have been raised, among which: How to identify the literary text? How to analyze it in collaboration with the receiver learner? How to define its aesthetics? When do we achieve understanding, appreciation and enjoyment of the text? The researcher concluded that it is not reasonable to ask students to study the literary text, interact with it, and excel in it in the absence of multiple scientific knowledge. New studies dealt with the text from multiple perspectives, and examined its characteristics (structural, stylistic, linguistic, aesthetic and semiotic) on the light of approaches and theories These multiple views on literary criticism contributed to the development of various methods and procedures in analysing, understanding and tasting texts. Consequently, the necessity of advancing the analysis of the literary text remains important and obligatory. Collaboration among different agents must work to train students with a taste for literature, passionate readers of books, and perhaps producers of literature. To achieve this goal, a set of conditions must be met, and we summarize them in the following points: guidance of our students through the various branches, and this is according to their desires and abilities; the necessity of involving the learner in explaining the text, and providing him with scientific knowledge that facilitates the task of research and discovery; the necessity of teaching Arabic grammar through literary texts, which is called “text grammar”; using modern scientific curricula and knowledge in analysing texts, and enabling the student to know how to apply them; and last advancing the philosophy of education and providing its tools through making the student involved in the process of learning.
The Dutch: The Framers of Racial Superiority in South Africa
Authors: Dehmoune Amal
Published: September 2023

For centuries, the South African social order was shaped according to the needs of the White colonizers. It was based on legal separation of the White race from the Black one. Moreover, the Whites officially introduced racial segregation to legalize its racist practices. This complex situation led to a divided society that infringed the rights of the Black South Africans. Then, it changed The South African society for a very long time. Indeed, the Whites became the new masters of the country, and it was important for them to preserve this “privileged” position to ensure their dominance. At this level, it is noteworthy to mention that this became possible thanks to the early Dutch who were the first colonizers to shape a racially segregated South African society.
Technology Integration in Teaching English as a Foreign Language

Published: September 2023

This present work looks at technology integration in teaching English. In Algeria. The English language has started to replace the French language gradually. Nowadays, English is taught in Middle and Secondary Schools, as well as in universities. Accordingly, the English language takes a larger position in the field of teaching foreign languages. Thus, this requires the development of the teaching tools and materials in order to facilitate the profession of teaching. The introduction of ICT in education aims to facilitate the complex task of teaching a foreign language. In Algeria, although the university’s syllabuses do not make much use of the ICT, students and teachers show much interest. There has been much debate over the use of media, Internet, computers and many technology tools in Foreign Language teaching over the past few years. The techniques offered, the activities and the degree of application in the language teaching syllabus have undergone a number of serious changes alongside the evolution of technology. IT is important to point out the relevance of the integration of ICT as a necessary tool in education. Besides, the different Ministries of National Education and Higher Education have to react by bringing some changes at the level of the educational programmes.
The AUYL Truel
Authors: Rudd Philip
Published: September 2023

Great post-independence migration from rural areas to urban centers has brought contact and competition to African linguistic gene pools. In Nairobi, Kenya, the main contestants are a trio of English, Swahili, and the indigenous language, making the duel a truel. Though the obvious outcome has been an ecological imbalance in socioeconomics (Mufwene 2008), few studies, other than Laitin and Eastman (1989: 52), have addressed the motivations and constraints on the speakers of the dueling languages. This paper introduces the concept of the truel from game theory (Kilgour & Brams 1997) to analyze and illuminate the linguistic tussle between an ex-colonial language, a native lingua franca, and local African Urban Youth Language (AUYL) practices (e.g., Sheng and Engsh). Mufwene and Vigouroux (2008: 23) argue that the elite keep the ex-colonial language as an entitlement. Nationalists support Swahili as a Pan- Africanist unifier. Historically, however, no one wishes to support anyone else’s mother tongue, so the indigenous language loses out. A series of motivations for each language variety is described, and it is shown that in each case, the player takes a rational strategy in the competition, but produces the illusion that the indigenous language has lost out. This new approach dramatically reduces the impression that the native speaker of indigenous African languages has lost the linguistic battle, and hence makes the rational choices of linguistic practices clearer.

Urban sprawl and occupation of space in Kinshasa

The increase in population is the basis of the sprawl of the city of Kinshasa with the consequent creation of spaces for new housing. Unfortunately, this occupation of the land by the population is done in an anarchic, disorderly manner and without reference to any urban or environmental plan, because the population precedes the State in the occupation of the land and the latter only legalizes this occupation. regardless of housing requirements. Hence the concern to identify the actors at the base of the creation of new living spaces and to propose a better integration of new living places. While insisting on the fact that there is a mismatch between the practice on the ground relating to land management and what the legislation in force in the field provides. The close link between urban sprawl and the occupation of space is highlighted here, especially since in Kinshasa it is the realities that are not maintained and evolving in absolute disorder following the actors involved on the margins of the law on the management of land under the helpless eye of the authority thus leading to multiple harmful consequences.

Cybermunicipalism in front of world-space

American scholar George Landow saw in hypertext a great potential for decolonization of knowledge. However, the latter was quickly subjected to new control dynamics that were previously unsuspected. At the same time, its content has also been "commodified" by hegemonic forces. (George Landow 2006) Our question is: to what extent could we free hypertext from the constraints imposed by Capital? Nico Carpentier underlines the importance of cities as an interface in the face of globalization, thanks to community hypermedia, in what he calls "translocalism". What he is proposing is, in our opinion, constitutes cybermunicipalism. (Nico Carpentier, p. 3) In fact, we would like to address this possibility in the present communication. From my perspective as a translator, I would like to address the issue by mobilizing, among other things, the concepts of "mechanized reproduction" by Walter Benjamin (1939) and "temporary autonomous zones" by Hakim Bey (1985), in order to establish certain avenues of meditation to abolish, in the twinkling of an eye, the dichotomy between global and local.

Authors: Akindele Julianah A.
Published: September 2023

Studies on Educated Edo English phonology have been on word stress and variable stress but studies on English syllabic consonants have been rare. Three hundred final-year university undergraduates were purposively sampled and two Standard English (SE) speakers served as Baselines. The aim was to examine Educated Edo English (EEE) speakers’ level of conformity to syllable weight insensitivity as established phenomenon in weak forms. Each of the participants produced 20 English prepared items into a Speech Filing System (SFS), version 1.41, subjected to auditory and instrumental analysis. Auditory analysis revealed that EEE speakers’ confirmed 250 (4.2%) instances of appropriate use out of expected result of 6000. Males’ performance was 2% and females 2.2%. Native baselines' performance established 100% as a result of their native intuition. Instrumental analysis revealed native baselines articulation at 0.017- 0.014msc; 0.009- 0.011msc with 0.031 and 0.020msc respectively and length difference of 0.158msc and 0.138msc. Educated Edo English speakers’ length difference in syllabic consonants showed weight sensitivity. Syllabic consonants which are supposed to be weakened as affirmed in SE were made more prominent, ranging between 0.502-0.899msc, with a weight difference of 0.987mscl showing preponderance use of strong forms, which is a major phonological phenomenon in SE pronunciation.

The Effect of Doxa in the Identification and Interpretation of Polyphonic Irony

This article aims at identifying the role which plays the doxy in the process of identification and interpretation of the polyphonic irony. The analysis leans on a comparison of two main francophone polyphonic theories, theory of the mentions of Sperber and Wilson (1978) and polyphonic theory of Ducrot (1984). The first theory is from a référentialiste inspiration because it leans on extralinguistic elements to interpret the irony, while the second is from an aréférentialiste inspiration (integrated pragmatics) because it stipulates that all the elements necessary for the interpretation of the irony are in the language itself. The corpus on which leans this study is the Algerian satiric newspaper El-Manchar (electronic version). Through the comparative analysis of several ironic occurrences stemming from our corpus - by the theoretical tools offered by both theories in question, we will demonstrate that the doxy is an element-key. Indeed, without the help of the notion of doxy, any attempt of interpretation of the polyphonic irony is straightaway doomed to failure.

FFL Learning through Television: TV forms for Educational Exploitation

The FL teaching / learning requires the exploration of new didactic tracks except those already in place. In our case, and in order to increase the possibilities of improving communication skills in French as a foreign language, it is a question of resorting to the television platform. Methodologically, and nothing but the level of the oral comprehension, for example, the authentic speeches in French are often characterized by such a complexity that even the linguistic competence, on its own, cannot account for all their significant scope. The communicational scope of certain cultural-heavy discourses, as the example we propose in this modest article, requires on the part of the teacher a new refocus on the encyclopedic competence, as a subsidiary form of cultural competence, but how decisive to decipher the messages which shape exolingual communication in French. To do this, the television tool embodied by the fiction- documentary proves to us to be very interesting, since, by its contribution in audiovisual information, it will facilitate access to some hidden forms (but which are both quite obvious and implicit for the native speaker) of the meaning inherent to any authentic production in contemporary French.
The Influence of Publishing Strategies on the Process of Translation: the case of Milan Kundera
Authors: Benhabililes Bakir
Published: September 2023

Throughout history, translation has never been an isolated activity or an independent literary entity; it has always been tailored by interior and exterior influential factors. In terms of social agents involved in the production of translations, the publishing industry is increasingly becoming a driving force in translation. Publishing is an integral part of the process, which controls mechanisms of translation and dictates editorial rules. Publishers have a huge influence on choosing books to be translated and on hiring translators, and thus on the way the translations are received by the audience. Despite their huge ascendancy however, little research has been carried out in this area. The purpose of this paper is to discover the extent of the publisher’s influence on the translated text. Given that translation theory has often focused solely on the author–translator relationship, our objective is to demonstrate that the translation process is not an ordinary dyadic relationship between a source text and a target text, or a translator and an author, but is a central meeting point for a mixture of relationships in which publishers play a hegemonic role. The publisher`s influence is discussed here through one particular controversial case: Milan Kundera’s novel The Joke (Žert), which first appeared in 1967.
On Lexical Obsolescence in Tacawit: The Case of Six Berber Fauna Terms
Authors: Chaira Farid , Hamada Hacène
Published: September 2023

The present paper gives an account of a cross-regional study of lexical obsolescence in Tacawit. It aims to compare the rates of lexical erosion across three regions: the Aurès Massif, Occidental Aurès and Oriental Aurès. The data of the study were collected as part of a doctoral research project on contact- induced lexical erosion in Tacawit. For purposes of brevity, however, this paper is confined to the analysis of the data obtained from one semantic domain, namely animal lexicon. Six basic concepts denoting six species were examined. The study revealed significant differences in the rates of lexical erosion between the three regions. The Massif retained most of the Berber variants, and, to a lesser degree, Occidental Aurès. In Oriental Aurès, however, there was a general tendency towards lexical replacement. This regional variation in lexical maintenance reflects different social tendencies within Aurès towards the effects of contact between Berber and Arabic.

Information and Communications Technologies between Representations and Reality

The Algerian university is undergoing major changes as a result of the continuous change in the training offers provided by the new LMD teaching system. This research focuses on the importance of Information and Communication Technologies within the Algerian university, represented for the purposes of our study by the field of foreign languages. It also interrogates about our students' representations of these technologies and how they can best benefit from these new learning tools. This is why a questionnaire survey was conducted in several universities across the country and involved students from French departments to try to have a global vision of the use of these technologies in language training.

Shades of Meanings in Translating the Most Beautiful Names in the Holy Quran

Translating the Most Beautiful Names and Attributes of Allah is one of the most difficult tasks that require a large knowledge of the Arabic language rhetoric and semantic rules, particularly when translating such sacred names within the Quranic context. One of the most important subjects in strong relation with the translation of those names is the success in translating the exact differences between the Names and Attributes amongst which most reciters of the Quran think they are perfect synonyms as (Rahman/Raheem, Ghafur/Tawwab, Kawiye/Mateen). This point has to be given paramount importance ever when translating them either separately or within the Quranic context as it is proved that none of Allah’s names and attributes is totally synonymous with one another.

The Example in Translation: Its essence, types and characteristics

The example is one of the most important helping tools for the students of translation in simulating the various communicative situations from one language into another, and thus understanding the purpose and conveying the intent properly. Since the translator’s work on texts from various typologies is not limited to merely dealing with the linguistic dimension, but goes beyond to grasping the metalinguistic kernel which delimitates the content of the message, be it ideological, cultural or social, this latter must have a prior knowledge of the strategies and procedures worthy to resolve the different translation handicaps, at the levels of the lexis, semantics, style and culture. Therefore, the present study aims at throwing light upon the didactical fundamentals of the translational example, its technical dimensions and elucidating its types and its major characteristics, as well as its role in improving the translations of learners and bettering their understanding at the theoretical and practical levels.
Coherence in Machine Translation Output
Authors: Abadou Fadila , Khadich Saleh
Published: September 2023

Coherence is a cognitive process. It plays a key role in argumentation and thematic progression. To be characterised by appropriate coherence relations and structured in a logical manner, coherent discourse/text should have a context and a focus. However, it receives little attention in Machine translation systems that considers the sentence the largest translation unit to deal with, the fact that excludes the context that helps in interpreting the meaning (either by human or automatic translator). In addition to that, Current MT systems suffer from a lack of linguistic information at various stages (modelling, decoding, pruning) causing the lack of coherence in the output. The present research aims at, first, capturing the different aspects of coherence, and second, introducing this notion in texts generated by machine translation based on sentence-by-sentence basis, in order to see and discuss the several phenomena that can lead to incoherent document translations with different language pairs.
