Authors : Djeghri Zarouta Nassira .

Abstract

This study examines the use of the Arabic language on social media through a descriptive survey approach, building on the theoretical literature of the study. The survey component involved a sample of 26 respondents and focused on tracking the use of Arabic. The results revealed a tendency among participants toward the emergence of a hybrid language blending Arabic with foreign languages. The findings also indicated a balance between innovation in expression and users’ efforts to preserve the authenticity of the language, reflecting a growing awareness of the importance of language as both a cultural identity and a means of communication. The study further highlights that social media platforms may offer an opportunity to promote the use of Arabic among younger generations, while simultaneously presenting challenges that require flexibility and prudence to maintain its eloquence and originality
