Authors : Zerouali Nafissa .

Abstract

Algeria bore witness to an exceptional political phenomenon, dubbed "Hirak" by its citizenry. This compelling subject matter invites multifaceted exploration, firmly situated within the ambit of pragmatic discourse analysis. Embarking on a lexico-semantic inquiry into the placards brandished by protesters, our endeavor centers on discerning the formation and attributes of novel lexical constructs that came to fruition during the Hirak, encompassing their semantic underpinnings, utilization patterns, and prevalence. Given our predilection for a pragmatic investigative framework, our linguistic discourse assumes a performative dimension. The crux of our analysis lies in elucidating and delineating the Hirak's impact on its audience through the medium of slogans. This study delves into the burgeoning linguistic phenomena within Algerian society, manifesting as neologism and pragmatic discourse. Notably, it underscores the variegated linguistic tapestry of the nation and underscores the distinctiveness of the languages in play, most notably the French language.
