SOCIOLINGUISTIC IMAGES OF LOCAL LANGUAGES AND FOREIGN LANGUAGES OF THE ITALIAN STUDENT OF THE UNIVERSITY OF ALGIERS 2

Summary/Abstract: In this article, we have studied the Sociolinguistics representation among a group of Algerian students of Algiers University 2. In fact, we examined their "representation toward (i) their local language and dialects classical Arabic, dialectal Arabic and Tamazight, (ii) as well as the foreign languages they know French, English, German, Spanish and Russian and (iii) the Italian language. Indeed, from the analysis of the questionnaire data developed for this purpose, it appeared that living in a multilingual reality makes it possible to have positive representations towards languages. Although representations of local languages balance between appreciation and rejection, however, it has emerged that the more a language is known and mastered the more positive and vice versa.
