the Triglossic Situation in the Moroccan Mass  media    

Abstract

It is obvious that Triglossia exists in many societies around the world. But its penetration in mass media seems to be a debatable issue. Morocco as one of those countries encountered Triglossia in society and the Moroccan mass media. The research problem aims to detect if Triglossia is present in the mass media or if it is experienced only inside society. We have introduced our first objective to determine Triglossia as a phenomenon in the field of sociolinguistics. The second objective addresses this linguistic phenomenon in Moroccan society and its incursion into mass media too. In addition to this, we utilized a quantitative design consisting of an online questionnaire as a source of data collection. We have also attached an interview to enhance our way of analyzing the study. The participants had been selected from S2, S4 and S6 students male and female, aged between 18-50 years old.The study revealed in the results section that there is a blurry status as to whether Triglossia can be found in the Moroccan mass media or not ( figure 4 ). Besides, there is an arguable issue of whether Darija should be fundamental in TV news and newspapers. In other words, there are conflicting agreements anddisagreementst between participants ( figure 5/6 ). Furthermore, in ( figure 9 ) people are not sure if SA serves the interests of all Moroccans or not. In brief, the findings are hard to challenge. However, we have provided sufficient analysis to assist in our previous aims and objectives.
