Linguistics
Aperçu des sections

The following are the three sociolinguistics questions suggested for the doctoral contest of 2020/2021 held in Biskra University:
- Romaine (2000, p.88) asserts that "standard languages do not arise via a natural course of linguistic evolution or suddenly spring into existence". Discuss!
- Algeria is a meeting ground for a number of languages making language contact a prevalent sociolinguistic evolution. Discuss!
- It is agreed among sociolinguists that language use is highly structured and not random in the sense that it is conditioned by the social structure. Discuss!
Students are invited to have an attempt at impromptu developing one, or more, of these questions into an essay and send their attempts to this email: hoadjli.ling.l3@gmail.com. Inquiries and comments are also welcomed.
