Sociology of Linguistic Transformations in the Digital Space. An Approach in the Context of Algerian Society

Summary/Abstract: This article proposes a sociological approach to analyze language transformations in Algeria’s digital space. It views language as both a social construct and a key system of communication, especially in the context of evolving digital interactions. Through examples from online linguistic practices, the article highlights the emergence of new forms of expression shaped by individual interactions. In Algeria, hybrid languages and widespread use of dialects are increasingly common. These shifts reflect a dilution of standard language norms on social media. The study also points to a gradual decline in the symbolic dominance of Classical Arabic.
