| Résumé : |
Facebook, one of the social-networking websites, has become one of the favoured
modes of communication on the Internet, influencing language in terms of usage and
practice. Code-switching, the alternate use of more than one language in a discourse, is one
of the language phenomena where such changes can be traced. This research investigates the
occurrence of code-switching in computer-mediated communication (CMC) among Algerian
facebookers. The theoretical part of this research presents, in general, the different linguistic
phenomena which exist in Algeria, and code-switching, in particular. The practical part of
this research is composed of different recorded samples taken from Facebook, which permit,
in turn, to obtain results that help analyse the situation. The aim of the practical part is to find
out what types of code–switching occur in the facebookers` messages and comments as well
as the reasons why the Algerian Facebookers code switch. In the present dissertation, the
qualitative method is used. The data are collected through recording their messages and
comments from March to April, 2013 posted in the 10 users' profiles. The data have been
analysed and classified into the category of each type of code-switching. To analyze the
reasons why the Facebookers use code-switching in their messages and comments, Malik`s
theory has been adopted. The result of the study confirms the hypothesis which stipulates that
code switching does not only happen in verbal speech, but also in written communication,
especially on Facebook, and has concluded that Algerian facebookers code-switch because
they, assumingly, consider alternating codes a simple strategy facilitating communication. |
