Language diversity in Fadhila Farouk's the mood of a teenager (1999)‎

Abstract EN

This study examines how the phenomenon of language diversity is manifested in the novel The Mood of a Teenager (1999) written by the Algerian writer Fadhila Farouk.

To this aim, the analytical approach was adopted.

The results do not only reveal the novel's richness of diverse dialectal elements but also substantiates the fact that the inclusion of distinct dialects along with standard language in any literary work will not make it indecipherable but a temptation that triggers voracious readers.
