FRENCH CODE-MIXING IN ARABIZI ON SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORM

This research paper explores the phenomenon of French code mixing in Arabizi within the Facebook group 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL.' The group comprises Arabic-speaking technicians and engineers from Morocco. The study aims to provide a comprehensive description of the French code mixing observed in this specific online community and investigates the factors influencing its occurrence. The sociolinguistic approach employed in this research incorporates the study of code mixing and its underlying causes. The primary data for analysis consisted of Arabic words, phrases, and technician-specific terminology found in uploads from January 2020 to December 2021 within the Facebook group 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL.' The data collection process involved note-taking techniques as well as screen captures and data tables for further analysis. The analysis of the collected data was conducted using referential and translational equivalent methods. The findings of this study reveal the presence of significant code mixing in Arabizi, combining elements of French and Arabic within the 'OFPPT: BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL' Facebook group. In its sociolinguistic context, French code mixing serves as an outer code mixing, while Arabic code-mixing functions as an inner code mixing. The Arab youth utilize this Arabizi code mixing to enhance their social standing, as French is perceived as a prestigious and modern language by them.


INTRODUCTION
In language contact situations, various linguistic phenomena and anomalies can arise.One such phenomenon is the presence of language constituents from one language found in speakers of other languages.This can manifest as loanwords, interference, code-switching, and code-mixing. 1 his book 'Language in Contact,' Uriel Weinreich suggests that bilingualism, diglossia, loanwords, and code-switching are among the potential outcomes when multiple languages or language varieties are used within a specific context. 2abic languages exhibit a complex morphological structure and possess a vast vocabulary, encompassing three main categories: Classical Arabic, Modern Standard Arabic, and Arabic Dialects.3 Among these, Arabic Dialects display varying orthographic standards and regional variations.4 Each dialect group has its own unique linguistic features and grammatical rules.5 One such Arabic Dialect is Darija, which represents the commonly spoken Arabic in Morocco.
Moroccan Arabic, characterized by its fluency in Arabic, also exhibits a notable practice of incorporating French elements into speech.Informal conversations in Moroccan Arabic often involve bilingual speakers seamlessly switching between languages.Such language switching can occur multiple times within the same discourse. 6Moroccan Arabic speakers attribute a certain value and prestige to their language. 7 investigation conducted by Bentahila (1983) explored the attitudes of bilingual speakers of Arabic and French towards language mixing.The study revealed that 75.22% of the participants expressed strong disapproval of such language mixture.According to their responses, this mixing was attributed to factors such as lack of education, carelessness, pretense, and a sense of identity loss. 8It is worth noting that code-switching is a related phenomenon to code-mixing, encompassing instances where lexical items and grammatical features from two languages co-occur within a single sentence, revealing a dynamic linguistic fusion. 9nguage change and mixing have become prevalent among Moroccans, as they find it functional and convenient to incorporate vocabulary equivalents from different languages in their communication. 10This linguistic technique, involving the use of lexically non-original words, leads to code-mixing.Bentahila's investigation sample indicates that 24.78% of bilingual Arabic-French speakers recognize the value and social status associated with this language proficiency.The prestige attached to bilingualism has fueled the creation of variations and creative expressions in contemporary Arabic.Furthermore, the process of globalization, driven by technological advancements, has impacted every country, including Morocco, facilitating rapid communication flows worldwide. 11e internet, a transformative technological phenomenon, has revolutionized the way language functions by facilitating the connection between sounds, words, and their meanings. 12It has become an integral part of society, primarily serving as a communication tool.In several Arab countries, the English language has gained significant prominence, particularly in dominating various technological devices and global platforms, including online conversations, short message (SMS) services, and mobile phones. 13The widespread adoption and rapid expansion of internet 14 formal explanations are required, specific terminologies are employed, as certain vocabulary cannot be adequately conveyed in the source language.In such cases, Code-Mixing becomes applicable.
The objective of this paper is to investigate the code-mixing of French linguistic units within the Moroccan Arabic dialect in the context of Arabizi, specifically within the gOFPPT Facebook group.
One of the key challenges in studying the phenomenon of French code-mixing in Arabizi within the Moroccan Arabic dialect is the lack of comprehensive research addressing this specific area.There exists a significant gap in the literature regarding the analysis and understanding of the linguistic patterns and sociolinguistic factors that influence French code-mixing in Arabizi.This gap hinders our ability to fully comprehend the motivations, functions, and implications of this language mixing phenomenon.By addressing this research gap, this study aims to shed light on the code-mixing practices of French linguistic units within Arabizi in the context of the gOFPPT Facebook group.Through a detailed analysis of language use and examining the sociolinguistic dynamics at play, this research endeavors to provide valuable insights into the nature and significance of French code-mixing in Arabizi, contributing to a more comprehensive understanding of language variation and contact in contemporary digital communication.

METHOD
This study adopts a descriptive research approach, employing the free-involvement-talking method known as 'SBLC.'Data collection was conducted using note-taking techniques, as well as additional recording methods such as screen captures and data tables.The collected data was then analyzed utilizing the referential equivalent method and the translational equivalent method.These analytical approaches aim to provide explanatory descriptions that contrast with the simplistic language typically found in written and spoken sentences of a study. 19e SBLC method serves as a technical foundation for data collection, specifically by closely examining social media activities within the OFPPT BTP & GÉNIE CIVIL Facebook group.The primary focus of this study is to analyze the code-mixing of French lexical units in the Arabizi language.This technique involves observing instances of code-mixing in words, phrases, clauses, and sentences found in the group's uploads within the gOFPPT Facebook group, covering the period from January 1, 2020, to February 30, 2022.

Hind Bouyadi : Amine Manfa conception zwina ghi dir les fenétres whewi lwc : Amine Manfa concept is very good, model of windows without locks.on the concept of the building he is designing.(code-mixing description) K= Hind Bouyadi openly gave an award to Amine Manfa "conception zwina" who was also a building design expert who understood the basis and output of a concept, marked by the sentence les fenétres whewi lwc" I= The conversation was delivered using Arabizi typewritten language.There was a French code-mixing in the form of à votre avis, la conception les fenétres, and adding a photo to get a response to what was created.N= The comments from Hind Bouyadi remarkably made Amine Manfa happy with the concept he was making.This includes the norm of creating happiness for others.G= This is a verbal utterance written in the Facebook Group.Based on the table, there is a code-mixing and language variations written.Greetings, this type of linguistic unit is Arabizi of ‫.سالم‬ Next one '… à votre avis.'.This is the first case of the finding of a code-mixing from the French language, meaning 'your opinion'.The next lingual linguistic is 'kijatkom had l conception.'There are two analyses of it; the first is kijatikom had had using Arabizi, which in its Arabic writing standards;‫هدا‬ ‫كيجﺎتﻜﻮم‬ , this phrase is a Morrocan standard dialect.For translation, it is necessary to use references from the internet, the website; speakmorrocan.com.In equivalent translating, 'how you feel?' onwards 'l conception', there is a mixture of languages and variations in lingual units.'L' can be defined as two types of language in this analysis.First, 'L' refers to ma'rifah in Arabic, ' ‫,'ال‬ the word clothing, followed by the Arabic syamsiyyah or qomariyyah.Still, it can also be an article of the French word 'La'.
The analysis of both ‫'ال'‬ ma'rifah or 'La' the French word article also requires a search of the type lingual unit used afterward i.e.'conception', in the dictionary online that merriam-webster French-English meaning concept, design, sketch.With this, it can be concluded that the lingual unit 'L' is a French word article as evidenced by the use of the next word i.e., conception is a linguistic unit necessary for a word article to support the official rules of the French word pattern.Referring to it, it can be concluded that Amine Manfa, who uploaded a photo containing the design and For the first case data, it could be interpreted that the uploader was a Building Design expert where the field could only be achieved by educated people, and he is accustomed to using French as his exposure in the field of technicians.It can be seen from the responders of the upload from Amine Manfa that several language variations are combined between a mixture of French lexical units with the Arabizi writing style such as Comments from an Account named Hind Bouyadi; Amine Manfa conception zwina ghi dir les fenétres whewi lwc there are several French Code-Mixing i.e. conception & les fenétres and Arabizi i.e. zwina ‫زوﻧﺔ‬ ghi dir ‫ديﺮ‬ ‫يغ‬ whewi lwc ‫وهﻮ‬ ‫.ﻟﻮك‬ From this, it should be concluded that bilingualism was an important helpful point for the explanation of terms available in French.From this, it can be concluded that bilingualism is an important, valuable point for explaining a material in which the materials are only general terms French.Some factors that are the basis for the mixing of languages are that words in foreign languages are difficult to forget and tend to be commonly used with the same stable meaning in the social community.There is also limited vocabulary that is not available in the native language of the speaker, so the role of code-mixing is very significant.The factors of code-mixing due to the End Purpose-goal are as follows.

French as Outer Code-Mixing in Situation
i Based on the table, the role of code-mixing is very significant in the case of speech, where there are limitations of linguistic units that are not available in Arabic regarding the material of building technicians.The utterances of Simo M HJI, i.e., branches génie civil gOFPPT, is an element of the French phrase that describes the branching features in the field of building technicians.Speakers (i) use these language elements to make it easier for speech partners to give the correct response and answer, then external language terms are used (outer code-mixing).Bahija Berddouzi as a speech partner (ii) responds by using French elements in the form of words that he embeds in the Arabizi written language, i.e.Video, les renseignements, and la filiere where the three are types of nouns that explain the term technician that does not exist in Arabic.

Arabic Dialect as Inner Code-Mixing
The following are mixed codes in Inner Code-Mixing, where words are in the Arabic Dialect.
