Les modalités de la néologie dans la presse francophone. Une analyse lexicale et discursive dans une perspective comparative: Le Quotidien d’Oran et Au Fait Maroc

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to highlight the convergences and divergences in the modalities of neology that manifest themselves in French from Algeria and Morocco. Although these two varieties have often been the subject of individual studies, we do not list a comparative study that would highlight analogies and possible differences in the modalities of the neology of these two linguistic varieties. We propose to partially fill this gap by uniting two studies carried out in the framework of doctoral research: one concerned the neological creation in Algerian French, the other was centered on the borrowings and the codic alternation in Moroccan French. The comparative analysis is based on the results from two journalistic corpora. This study is particularly interested in the process of borrowing (one of the two fundamental types of neology in the external matrix) and the alternation codic.
