Summary/Abstract: The lexicon of languages spoken in Algeria, namely the French, is constantly evolving. The corollary of democracy: freedom of opinion and expression make the transitional period (1988-1990) with the emergence of independent media, such as the private press in particular, a good time to creativity activity of new words. This mutation, especially media that knows Algeria for more than thirty years, has a direct impact on the dynamics and the evolution of language practices among journalists. The fact that we can make the constant reading some articles, specifically some journalistic chronicles French aroused our interest in lexical creation in this type of journalistic writing.
