This article presents a teaching activity carried out as part of the TikTok Mundi internship. The paper, which is addressed to an audience that is not specialised in the specific discipline, opens by outlining the linguistic and geographical boundaries of the ‘Arabic world’, emphasizing the need for critical reflection on the related - distinct yet interrelated - concepts of linguistic and cultural domains. It offers sociolinguistic remarks on the pluriglossic reality of the Arabic world, on the variants of Arabic, and on common language devices, such as code-mixing and code-switching. Finally, it considers the use of social media by the young segment of the population of Arab countries and how they use different language varieties, also considering some social implications and the modifications that this context of use may induce in the language itself.
L’articolo presenta un intervento didattico svolto nell’ambito del tirocinio TikTok Mundi. L’intervento, che si rivolge ad un pubblico curioso ma non specialista della disciplina, si apre tratteggiando i confini linguistici e geografici del ‘mondo arabo’, rimarcando la necessità di una riflessione critica sui relativi concetti distinti ancorché interrelati di ambito linguistico e culturale. Propone riflessioni di natura sociolinguistica sulla realtà pluriglossica del mondo arabo, sulle varianti dell’arabo e su meccanismi quali il code-mixing e il code-switching. Si volge infine a considerare l’utilizzo dei social media da parte della fascia giovane della popolazione dei paesi arabi e l’uso delle diverse varianti linguistiche che questi mettono in luce, considerando anche alcune implicazioni sociali e le modificazioni linguistiche che tale contesto d’uso può indurre nella lingua stesssa.

Abstract
This article presents a teaching activity carried out as part of the TikTok Mundi internship. The paper, which is addressed to an audience that is not specialised in the specific discipline, opens by outlining the linguistic and geographical boundaries of the ‘Arabic world’, emphasizing the need for critical reflection on the related - distinct yet interrelated - concepts of linguistic and cultural domains. It offers sociolinguistic remarks on the pluriglossic reality of the Arabic world, on the variants of Arabic, and on common language devices, such as code-mixing and code-switching. Finally, it considers the use of social media by the young segment of the population of Arab countries and how they use different language varieties, also considering some social implications and the modifications that this context of use may induce in the language itself.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
