Abstract

The dynamicity of language is related to an important set of factors such as age, gender, history, geography and new means of communication that people use in their daily life. Likewise, with the extensive use of new technologies and the implementation of the latest approaches dealing with learning and understanding, Information and Communication Technologies (ICTs) have recently become one of the necessities of modern learning, teaching and communication. Even in many developing countries like Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt and others, these new technologies have found some room to overwhelm schools, colleges, and universities. The issues addressed in this study concern primarily the understanding of the lexical innovation of Algerian, Orani youngsters’ spoken variety, the way the use of new technologies notably ICTs influences our understanding and learning, and the way it contributes to innovation and change in language use through society both semantically and pragmatically. The study focuses on the impact of the use of ICTs on language in the current linguistic scene. Key words: Innovation in language, language change, linguistic behaviour, communication, technology, speech community, society and culture.
