The present study on young Algerians’ texters living in Oran aims at investigating SMS communication in Algeria and discovering the various attitudes towards the impact of SMS language on the standards of traditional written language. The research challenges popular assumptions that SMS language is deteriorating traditional written media and tries to survey texters’ attitudes towards the effect SMS language is having on standard written language. The study’s results end with the overall suggestion that a number of young texters demonstrate negative attitudes towards SMS language, but a more important category shows a laissez-faire approach to the concern of language deterioration accelerated by SMS communication. These attitudes may be seen as a key element in the study of the future of both written and oral language in Algeria.
