Abstract:
Nowadays, speaking subjects use Information and Communication
Technologies (ICT) to communicate remotely and strengthen inter-individual
relationships. In fact, technical devices reveal new forms of sociability and new
ways of understanding information; Especially in academia; Where many people
turn to online ""tchats"" to deviate from standard writing. In fact, the synchronicity
and immediacy of this exchange give rise to a hybrid language called ""electronic
discourse"" where the oral and written languages coexist, thus forming a hybrid
language encompassing the notions of ""creativity"" and "" Neologism "".
From this perspective we propose the results of an analytical study on the
distinctive features of a corpus of instant conversation provided by university
students preparing a bachelor's degree in French language and literature at
Constantine I. To reinforce these results, We will proceed by sociolinguistic
survey made by a questionnaire intended for an audience of informants belonging
to the department of French in order to reveal some of their representations with
respect to the chat and its textual practice.
