La Créativité Linguistique Des Ados Entre Évolution Et/Ou Régression De La Langue, Abdelfettah Nasser Idrissi Jan 2020

La Créativité Linguistique Des Ados Entre Évolution Et/Ou Régression De La Langue, Abdelfettah Nasser Idrissi

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Today's young people use a language that we sometimes find strange. It is about a language which, for them, has a meaning, since they understand it and are themselves understood. It is a language that is both forged and coded, borrowed, using neologism and abbreviation, etc. This linguistic creativity reflects the interest of young people in language practices. Or what impact is there on the language? are we in the presence of a degradation of the language and its regression, or we are rather witnessing its evolution and /or revolution since some words, by the frequency of use, become attested …


Ideologie Et Metamorphose De La Langue, Mohammed Al Khatib Jan 2020

Ideologie Et Metamorphose De La Langue, Mohammed Al Khatib

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Language, like any object in this world, is susceptible to various changes. These changes, visible or invisible, can be due to a natural development, or to unexpected external reasons. The language is also exposed to a natural and continuous mutation, and to a mutation due in general to external reasons. The metamorphosis that the language undergoes can be studied from three points of view: the close relationship between language and identity; the ideological side in the historical evolution of the language; graphic and phonic mutation in the language. Who says "language" says "identity" because these two elements constitute an important …


The Historical Novel: Re-Creating Past Realities Through Fiction “A Book A Day Keeps Reality Away”, Sarah Hodeib Jan 2020

The Historical Novel: Re-Creating Past Realities Through Fiction “A Book A Day Keeps Reality Away”, Sarah Hodeib

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Fiction and reality are two terms that seem to be in continuous opposition. Although the two worlds appear disparate, fiction and reality are linked together in more ways than thought. A literary text opens up a means to access reality; often it is a reflection of a reality we claim to exist. This paper, thus, explores how selected contemporary historical novels creatively (re-) construct alternative realities of WWII events as opposed to an assumed fixed reality presented in the grand narratives of history. The novels seek to retrieve the mini-narratives of long lost, subdued and/or marginalized stories of minor participants …


Language Creativity: A Sociolinguistic Reading Of Linguistic Change In Lebanon, Sawsan Tohme Jan 2020

Language Creativity: A Sociolinguistic Reading Of Linguistic Change In Lebanon, Sawsan Tohme

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

Language creativity in incorporated in everyday conversations and language behaviour. It is present in everyday expression although it might sometimes be invisible, looked down on or disdained. Regardless of whether we are in favour of or against this creativity, it is worth being recognised. As far as Lebanon is concerned, Arabic (i.e. Standard Arabic) is the official language, while Lebanese Arabic, along with English and French, are the main languages used by the Lebanese. This language diversity can be explained in the light of a number of factors and sociolinguistic functions. The language use in Lebanon has many creative aspects …

Creativity In Language: Reflections On Polysemy, Metaphors, Idioms, Collocations…And The Like, Adel Sakakini, Diana Hadi

BAU Journal - Society, Culture and Human Behavior

According to Ronald Carter (2011), Creativity is such a complex and protean term to define. It involves inventiveness, imagination, novelty, originality and a myriad of other aspects. In language, in particular, creativity manifests itself in humans’ ability to produce an infinite number of sentences never spoken before and understand sentences never heard before or what Chomsky calls “creative aspect” of language use (Fromkin and Rodman, 1993.) It is of two types: rule-bound creativity and rule-breaking creativity. The researchers explore creativity employed in different language discourse such as slips of the pen, slips of the tongue, oxymoron, paradox, collocation, blends, anomaly, …
