Technology is one of the most important elements that made communication successful and reliable, and speaking using technology such as chatting and sending SMS are therefore the prominent instances of such use. Henceforth, the sociolinguistic situation in Algeria and the survival of its dialects are conditioned by both their oral and written production. For instance, Tamazight that is used in the Great Kabylia has a considerable record of written literature such as poetry and literature. And SMS is a reflection of such linguistic complexity that will be thoroughly explored, analysed and discussed in this empirical study. The latter is based on SMS analysis. The purpose is therefore to highlight the diversity of languages in Algeria, in this digital age where language overcomes speech to reach the mobile screen. The outcomes focused on the existence of a linguistic accommodation of Algerian speakers to a new technology where formal and informal varieties are mixed up in an unstable diglossic situation leading to texting messages. Keywords: Digital, language planning, Mobile, SMS texting. 1. Introduction Algeria is a colourful sociolinguistic mosaic which is characterized by the existence of panoply of languages and varieties of languages, namely Classical Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, Algerian Arabic, French, English and Berber with its regional variations. The Algerian national constitution stipulates that Modern Standard Arabic is the first official language of the nation, and is supposed to be used by all members of the speech community, in addition to Tamazight that was recently recognized as an official language in 2016. After independence, the Algerian linguistic map changed considerably; Algerian planners and decision-makers were extremely eager to promote Arabic as a vivid symbol of Arabic identity and Islamic values, in a country where French had played a major role in communication. Virtually, the emergence of mobiles in Algeria, by early 2001, is associated with the creation of new language, which is a mixture of the local dialect, more exactly Algerian Arabic, French, Classical Arabic and new abbreviations, which were unexpected and unmeasured by local planners. It is worth-mentioning that in his 2008 work Texting: The Gr8 Deb8 (Crystal, 2008) devotes a whole chapter to the hype surrounding texting, noting that, as with the introduction of just about every new technological development 1 Email: [email protected] 1 in communication, critics cry out that texting will bring about the end of writing and of literacy itself. For example, he quotes a 2007 Washington Daily article by Eric Uthus dismissing texters as subpar users of language, “…obsessed with taking the vowels out of words and spelling fonetikally” (Gordon, 2011) However, other linguists note that texting has brought about the concision and phonetic transparency that has long eluded spelling reformists. Emphasizing that the “notion that a word should always be spelled the same way is a much more recent invention than the language itself,” Ammon Shea investigates the links between the phonetic spelling movement and the organic shift toward such spelling in texting. Because “text messaging... comes from the linguistic bottom,” it has a better chance of affecting spelling conventions than top-down measures. However, it is important to emphasize that electronic language features are not a simple, uniform condensing of language. The numeric abbreviations and deletions in texting language are largely a response to the inadequacies and inconvenience

  • Why Is Language Typology Possible?
    Why is language typology possible? Martin Haspelmath 1 Languages are incomparable Each language has its own system. Each language has its own categories. Each language is a world of its own. 2 Or are all languages like Latin? nominative the book genitive of the book dative to the book accusative the book ablative from the book 3 Or are all languages like English? 4 How could languages be compared? If languages are so different: What could be possible tertia comparationis (= entities that are identical across comparanda and thus permit comparison)? 5 Three approaches • Indeed, language typology is impossible (non- aprioristic structuralism) • Typology is possible based on cross-linguistic categories (aprioristic generativism) • Typology is possible without cross-linguistic categories (non-aprioristic typology) 6 Non-aprioristic structuralism: Franz Boas (1858-1942) The categories chosen for description in the Handbook “depend entirely on the inner form of each language...” Boas, Franz. 1911.

Parks 2011-2012 has been an exciting year at CEMA. Between November 2011 and October 2012, more than 90 researchers spoke at CEMA activities – at fifteen lectures, two thematic round-table activities, two symposia, one six-week fellowship, and one three-day conference. CEMA assisted the research of 47 American and international scholars. And we received nearly 6,500 walk-in visits to the center. Activity is booming and as CEMA grows, so does its audience. We hope to be able to expand our activities to Algiers and the universities and research institutes of the Center of the country this year. Programmatically, we have been active. This year CEMA organized twelve lectures as part of its regular lecture series, which primarily highlights new or on-going research in history, politics, and sociology. CEMA also organizes three special lecture series: ‘the Oran Lecture,’ ‘the Saharan Lectures,’ and a new series on Public Health. ‘The Oran Lecture,’ which we hope to recommence this year, highlights the research of non-Orani Maghrebi scholars in the social sciences and the humanities. Co- organized with the National Research Center for Social and Cultural Anthropology (CRASC), ‘The Saharan Lectures’ builds from the AIMS-West African Research Association (WARA) Saharan Crossroads Initiative, which seeks to underscore the cultural, economic, and social links between the Maghreb and Sahel region.

Using panel error correction model (PECM) upon monthly data for the period 2003 M1 – 2015M5, results suggested that the bilateral exchange rate movements is a suitable to support the purchasing power parity (PPP) hypothesis. However, suggesting that there is long run relationship between exchange rates and relative prices in foreign courtiers by using panel cointegraion of Pedroni (1999, 2004), that can be interpreted by the validity of purchasing power parity for nine principle trade partners of Algeria. Key Words: (Algeria, panel cointegration, Purchasing Power Parity (PPP), panel error correction model (PECM) 1 I. Introduction: Since 1996, the Bank of Algeria (Central Bank) adopted the floating exchange rate regime after a long period from 1997 to 1996 characterized by a strong dominance of the reference to US dollars due to the particularity of Algerian economy, an economy based on exports of oil - 98percent of export revenues paid in US dollars and imports, rising continuously, paid in euro ((Kamel et al, 2014).

  • ANZAMEMS 2017 Abstracts
    ANZAMEMS 2017 abstracts Catherine Abou-Nemeh Victoria University of Wellington “Opening the King’s Body: Autopsy and Anatomy in Early Modern Paris” On 1 September 1715, King Louis XIV of France died in his bed in Versailles. The next day several physicians, anatomists, and attendees assembled in the palace to carry out a post-mortem examination of the deceased monarch. In addition to the Dean of the Paris Faculty of Medicine Jean- Baptiste Doye, Guy Fagon (the king’s head physician) and Georges Mareschal (the king’s first- surgeon) led the dissection. This paper situates Louis’ autopsy in the context of late seventeenth and early eighteenth century anatomical practices in Paris. In so doing, I will assess the meaning and status of autopsy, and discuss its relation to royal power and anatomical knowledge. Anya Adair Yale University “The Post-Mortem Mobility of Dead Text: Mouvance and the Early English Legal Preface.” The introduction to a medieval law code does important rhetorical work: among other things, it must convince its audience of the justice of the laws that follow. For authority on this matter, the legal preface (like so many literary texts) often relies on the invocation of an imagined past, founding its claim on past codes, past kings, and a shared sense of stable legal history. Yet the law code itself moves through time in a very different way: in strictly legal terms, the most recent code must take precedence, overriding and erasing past laws. Laws look forward, not back. This paper explores some of the consequences of the temporal tension between prologue and laws, and traces its effects into the ways that early medieval law codes were disseminated and preserved in the manuscript record.
