Research title: Transmitting and Preserving Kabyle Language and Oral Culture beyond Homeland: An Ethnographic Approach
Research Summary
Thesis Title:Transmission and Preservation of Oral Traditional Kabyle Culture and Language at the Village Level and beyond: An Ethnographic Study
My PhD project falls into the fields of Sociolinguistics and Cultural Anthropology. I am interested in studying the endangerment/ vitality degrees of one of the Amazigh (Berber) language varieties in North Africa. I throw my focus on the Kabyle variety, as a minority, existing in North-East Algeria. In particular, through ethnography, I look at the inter and intra-generational transmission as well as the preservation of the Kabyle linguistic and cultural heritages in homeland; Kabylia, and among the Diaspora in France and the UK, Scotland specifically.
