Authors : Drissi Otmane Abdelkader . Derki Noureddine .
Abstract
This study aims to bridge the gap within the field of football chants in Algerian stadiums. Using Braun and Clark's (2006) framework for thematic analysis, the present study explores the linguistic devices and themes covered in Algerian Football chants. The corpus of this study includes the analysis of various videos of fanatical chants in Algerian football stadiums. Results of the study detect three main themes in Algerian football stadiums: political, social, and economic. The findings reveal the use of diverse linguistic devices, such as code-switching, hyperbole, mocking, and metaphor. Lastly, this study uncovers how football fans consider stadium chants as a powerful tool of communication loaded with emotions and beliefs.
