البيئة و تأثيرها في تحريف لغة ساكنيها : نماذج من كتاب : اللهجة التواتية الجزائرية للدكتور أحمد جعفري

Abstract EN

The pioneer of sociology, the scholar Ibn Khaldun says : “a man is the son of his environment “ The environment has a great influence on human education and the rationalization of his psychological and social life.

It also plays a great role in distorting his language, which makes him distinguished from others.

Like: A'ananah of Tamim, Kashkashah of Rabiah, Kaskasah of Bikr, Ghamghamah of Quda'ah, Thomthomaniyah of Homiar and Thalthalah of Bahra'a.

Taouat region was not different from that.

The linguistic distortion is noticed in the articulation of some letters such as “TH” /θ/ and “TH”/ ð/, “dh” and “Qaf”.

It goes beyond.

There are some letter reversed or converted into another ones in pronunciation; like converting “ al Hamza” into “Ain”.

Eg.

: the word ALQURAN to ALQURA'AN.

“shams” to sams/s æms/“TH” to strong form “THa” eg.

: kawthar”.

“TH”/ ð/ to /z/ like “alazina”..

etc.

The researcher dr.

Ahmed DJAAFRI was the first one to tackle and explain this point in his book “ The Algerian Touat Dialect”.

All this wasn't enough.

It still needs extra efforts, more forums.

It needs more encyclopedias to gather all this variable linguistic account, like the other Arab languages which were written by “Ibn Manzour” in his encylopedia “ The Arab Tongue”.

In this research paper, I will select some patterns from the book of “The Touat Dialect” focusing on what is related to the topic.
