Arabic transfer in French spoken by Maghreb women living in the Paris region
Abstract
Migration flows come with a tight contact between the immigrant’s first language and the language of the host country. This contact leads to interferences between both languages, usually revealed as fingerprints of the immigrant’s mother tongue in their speech in the host-country language. This paper presents a study of the interferences from Arabic detected on the speech of 8 Maghreb women who live in Paris and its surroundings, as well as a brief analysis of the relation between those interferences and the feeling of linguistic insecurity.
