The Evolution Of Code Switching In The Algerian Theatre: Case Of “galou Laarab Galou” (1983) And “khatini” (2020) Plays
Authors : Hammoudi Khedidja .
Abstract
This paper aims at studying code switching (CS) in the Algerian theatre. More importantly, it focuses on tracking the evolution of this sociolinguistic phenomenon throughout time by taking two Algerian plays as its corpus: “Galou Laarab Galou” produced in 1983 and “Khatini” that was performed in 2020. After detecting, transcribing, and analysing the segments of code switching articulated by the characters, data reveal that switching exists from previous years in Algerian theatre speech and still characterise it up to date. The codes to which the participants switch, beside the dialect, are mainly French and Standard Arabic. The CS found in theatrical speech is explained depending certainly on the functions and purposes for which the switch is performed.
