La créativité lexicale chez les étudiants du science du langage sur les réseaux sociaux, le cas des messages sur Facebook.

Abstract

This dissertation explores the linguistic creativity of Algerian students on Facebook, a popular social network for interaction and exchange. It focuses on lexical formation processes such as abbreviations, truncations, neologisms, and borrowings, and their function in digital communication. The descriptive and analytical approach, based on a corpus of comments, reveals a dynamic, coded, and spontaneous language, representative of a connected youth. These practices illustrate a conscious adaptation to the constraints of speed, while conveying a strong sense of identity. In the Algerian context marked by multilingualism and intercultural exchanges, these uses could reflect the emergence of a linguistic variety specific to young Internet users.
