Section outline

  • This exam checks whether students clearly understand what happens when languages come into contact in society: people becoming bilingual, switching between languages, using different varieties in different situations (diglossia), borrowing words, and creating new contact varieties like pidgins and creoles.

    It also checks how well students can explain the effects of globalisation and official language policies on which languages are promoted, maintained, or lost.

    It also evaluates whether  the  students' aptitude  to recognise these phenomena in short examples or case studies (especially from contexts similar to Algeria), name them accurately, and comment on their social causes and consequences using the basic concepts and terms studied in the course.
