This research presents the concept of discourse according to the French thinker Michel Foucault and its relationship to the linguistic studies that he was influenced by, in terms of identifying the angles in which his perception of this concept agrees with the linguistic perception, as well as the aspects in which it is distinguished from it. The research is also exposed to the definitions Foucault presented to discourse on several occasions from different sides, trying to avoid any unilateral view in dealing with this concept, by including all its dimensions that Foucault called for. The research started by recalling the general theoretical orientation that preoccupies Foucault, and the characteristics of his theory, and then follows its definitions of the discourse from the aspects through which it reaches it, in terms of being a group of collective utterances then by the structure of it rules that, and finally in terms of being a social practice.

This quantitative descriptive study amounts to a needs analysis, the first component of a multi-phase mixed methods research endeavour aimed at exploring the rampant soft skills gap between academia and business in Morocco. Employing a convenience sampling methodology, a survey was administered to 170 undergraduate university students and analysed using SPSS descriptive statistics, revealing a significant deficiency in key soft skills within the participants’ skillsets. Nevertheless, these respondents manifested a robust willingness to address this skills gap, notably favouring the adoption of a Blended Learning Model for soft skills development. The meticulous analysis of the survey data stresses the imperative need to seamlessly integrate soft skills development initiatives into the existing curricular framework. Such integration holds the promise of catalysing substantial development in the personal, academic, and professional orbits of the study participants. Thus, the results of this study underscore the critical significance of addressing the soft skills gap (mismatch) for Moroccan policymakers, curriculum designers, educators, and researchers, and emphasize the inevitability of equipping university graduates with the essential soft skills required to thrive in the contemporary workplace.

This paper analyzes the phenomenon of borrowing in one of Berber varieties spoken in the southern part of Algeria. Borrowing is one the most important sociolinguistic phenomena which exists in all the language varieties. The Berber variety which is analyzed in this paper is named “Tabeldit” and it is spoken in the area of “Igli” which is located in Bechar. Data analysis and results in this paper are based on the primary data which were collected from questionnaires and interviews. In fact, the loan words which are found in ‘Tabeldit’ are not taken from Standard Arabic or the Algerian dialect, particularly the one used in Bechar, but also from the French language.

The present research paper, by combining Mikhail Bakhtin’s ideas on heteroglossia with Homi Bhabha’s hybridity, aims to examine the hybridization of language in Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie’s novel Half of a Yellow Sun. Hybridization is a process whereby separate entities create another entity which shares certain features with each of its sources but which is not purely compositional. Hybridization in language happens when two or more languages are frequently mixed. As a consequence, a new hybrid variety of languages emerged. The study claims that Half of a Yellow Sun, because of its diverse set of speech types and its characters who differ in terms of their race, class and gender, has a good potentiality to be discussed in matters related to hybridization of language, which is considered to be a kind of heteroglossia. The thing that the characters speak English does not mean that they are following the ideology of the British. Their English is imbued with Igbo words and phrases. Therefore, the hybrid nature of the English language used by the characters shows how the language is at the service of postcolonial identity formation. Based on Bhabha’s ideas on mimicry and mockery, the study concludes that the character’s mingling of English and Igbo language is a way of misrepresenting Standard English or, to use the Caliban paradigm, cursing the master’s tongue. As a result, the hybridization of language in Half of a Yellow Sun is an attempt on the part of Adichie to appropriate English language or to make it one’s own.
