Abstract

Our work entitled "The role of regional accents in causing social discrimination in Tiaret city and rural areas “aims to reflect on the notion of glottophobia between Tiaretians and people from rural areas.This study attempts to examine how and on whom the social discrimination is applied, and to study its manifestations at the linguistic level. In our research, we conducted a field survey using three different but complementary data collection methods: the questionnaire, the semi-structured interview and observation of the population. This research brought fresh concepts in socio-linguistics, and fair results as well about social discrimination based on accents in Tiaret city.
