The Socio-pragmatic Functions Of Arabic – French Code Switching In The Algerian Sitcom ‘dar Nsa’
Authors : Adder Fatima Zohra .
Abstract
This paper aims at studying code switching in the Algerian sitcoms. More precisely, it attempts to reveal the codes existing, the types of code switching and its functions in the Algerian sitcom named ‘Dar Nsa’ broadcasted on Bahia TV. The researcher relied on downloading selected episodes and note taking to first detect, transcribe, and then analyze the instances of code switching as articulated by the characters. The qualitative data analysis reveals that intra-sentential code switching is prevalent in the sitcom, in addition to inter-sentential and tag switchings. The codes, to which the participants switch, beside their Algerian Arabic dialect, are mainly French and Standard Arabic. The code alternations found in the selected episodes serve to fulfill certain socio-pragmatic functions.
