| Résumé : |
This work aims at showing the crucial role of punctuations in writing. It shows the effective
role of the comma and the semicolon in conveying the exact meaning, and thus avoids
ambiguity. Second year students seem to have difficulties using these two punctuation marks.
On this it was hypothesized that if students know more about the rules of the comma and the
semicolon, they will be able to use them appropriately. To check the hypothesis, an
investigation on how to build second year students’ awareness towards the use of the comma
and the semicolon was conducted. Two tools of research that have been used are two
questionnaires, one addressed to teachers and the other to students plus a test. The results
obtained, with a sample of twenty students, revealed that indeed when students know the rules
of punctuation, especially the comma and the semicolon, they can then use them appropriately
in any context without distorting the meaning. The analysis of the data has allowed to say that
hypothesis was to some extent confirmed (H1). |
