GEND ER DIFFERENCES IN LANGUAGE BEHAVIOUR : EVIDENCE FROM TLEMCENIAN SPEE CH CO MM UNI TY

Abstract

Language variation is a fascinating aspect of human communication, reflecting the diversity of cultures, regions, and social groups. Language serves as a lens through which gender identities and roles are expressed and negotiated. This study seeks to explore gender differences in language behaviour in Tlemcenian speech and it sheds light on hegemonic masculinity within this speech community.
