Abstract
ABSTRACT: In this contribution, we relate social space and urban writing through the analysis of commercial signs written in Italian in Algeria, particularly in the cities of Eastern Algeria. The signs were collected from various cities due to the difficulty of gathering a significant number from just one inhabited area. A Facebook group was created to collect our corpus. A fairly large number of signs were captured with a digital camera. Our interest is to describe, classify, and analyse some emerging semi-linguistic and socio-linguistic phenomena of linguistic contact. Additionally, it focuses particularly on the choice of language and the arrangement of languages on these signs. We have tried to address issues of meaning conveyed by the writing of commercial signs, knowing that they are numerous and challenging for a precise and detailed analysis.
RIASSUNTO: In questo contributo, mettiamo in relazione lo spazio sociale e la scrittura urbana attraverso l’analisi delle insegne commerciali scritte in italiano in Algeria ma soprattutto le città dell’Est Algerino. Le insegne sono state raccolte da diverse città dal fatto che risulta difficile raccoglierne un numero considerevole soltanto da una zona abitata. Un gruppo su Facebook è stato creato per raccogliere il nostro corpus. Un numero abbastanza importante delle insegne è stato catturato con una fotocamera digitale . Il nostro interesse è di descrivere, classificare e analizzare alcuni emergenti semi- linguistici e socio- linguistici fatti di contatto linguistico inoltre, si concentra in modo particolare sulla scelta della lingua e la disposizione delle lingue in queste insegne. Abbiamo cercato di affrontare problemi di significato veicolati dalla scrittura del segno commerciale e sappiamo che sono numerosi e difficili per un’analisi precisa e dettagliata.
