Language, Symbolic Interaction, And Religious Norms: A Sociological And Religious Analysis Of Social Groups And Communication Patterns In Algeria



Authors : Lalaouna Dalila .

Abstract

Abstract: This study examines the role of language and symbolic interaction in structuring social groups, regulating relationships, and enhancing cohesion in Algerian society. It emphasizes the religious dimension, particularly how Islamic teachings guide language use, ethical behavior, and social interactions, as reflected in the Qur’an: “And We did not send any messenger except in the language of his people to make it clear to them” (Ibrahim, 4). The findings show that language functions not only as a means of communication but also as a tool for reinforcing collective identity, moral conduct, and social harmony according to religious norms. Social groups rely on shared linguistic patterns to maintain cohesion and transmit cultural and ethical values. Integrating religious perspectives provides a more comprehensive understanding of social communication and interaction.
