Asemres n tesmidegt deg tmedyazt tamaziɣt – Said Ouchemmouth d amedya The Use of Toponymy in Amazigh Poetry - Case of Said Ouchemmouth

Abstract

ABSTRACT: The use of toponymy in Amazigh poetry is not new. At each stage of the Amazigh poetic history, the poets insert in their poetic texts the names of the places of the villages and the cities, the rivers and the sources, the streets and the public places or those of the mountains and the hills. In this article, we will talk about toponymy, traditional and contemporary Amazigh poetry and the use of places names in Amazigh poetic texts in general and those of Said Ouchemmouth in particular. The analysis of the corpus will therefore focus on a few poems by the poet of Ath Meddour, from the Haizer region of the wilaya of Bouira. We try to bring out the names of the places in each poem and indicate their meaning and origin
