Barra lateral del artículo
Contenido principal del artículo
Este estudio investiga la dinámica sociolingüística de la variedad chaouia de la lengua tamazight en Foum Toub, Batna, Argelia, centrándose en su resiliencia ante los retos que plantean la modernización y la influencia de las lenguas globales. Se empleó un enfoque de método mixto, combinando datos de un cuestionario administrado a 150 residentes de Foum Toub y entrevistas semiestructuradas con 10 participantes de diversos orígenes demográficos. Los resultados revelan que, a pesar de las presiones de la modernidad y la globalización, la variedad Chaouia sigue siendo ampliamente utilizada en las interacciones cotidianas y se considera un componente vital de la identidad cultural entre sus hablantes. Los encuestados expresaron un fuerte apego emocional a la lengua y su compromiso de preservarla para las generaciones futuras. Sin embargo, el estudio también destaca importantes retos, en particular las actitudes sociales hacia el Chaouia fuera de sus regiones de origen, donde los hablantes a menudo se sienten juzgados o alienados. Las recomendaciones incluyen la integración del chaouia en los planes de estudio, los medios de comunicación y las iniciativas culturales para promover el orgullo y la conciencia lingüística, contrarrestando el riesgo de cambio o declive lingüístico. Además, el estudio subraya la importancia de abordar los factores sociopolíticos y culturales que influyen en el mantenimiento de la lengua. Esta investigación contribuye al campo más amplio de la sociolingüística al demostrar la resiliencia de la variedad Chaouia y su papel fundamental en el mantenimiento del tejido sociocultural de Foum Toub; aboga por medidas estratégicas para garantizar la vitalidad continua del Chaouia en un mundo en rápida evolución, haciendo hincapié en la necesidad de esfuerzos impulsados por la comunidad y políticas lingüísticas inclusivas para preservar la diversidad lingüística de Argelia.
