Expressions of Resistance: “Goud” and Stylistic Variation in Moroccan Digital Newspapers

in La rivista di Arablit, a. X, n. 20, dicembre 2020, pp. 79-98.

This study aims to analyse the linguistic written practices of contributors to “Goud”, a Moroccan online newspaper, in the discourse on political resistance. The issue is observed in the perspective of the symbolic relation between the concept of Resistance and the tension of formal versus informal standardization process concerning Arabic fuṣḥà (standard variety) and dāriǧah (Moroccan Arabic). Through the observation of a corpus of articles about the “20th February Movement”, the Hirak Movement”, and the boycott campaigns, this study outlines the different expressions of resistance and the co-existing linguistic varieties to which “Goud” gives voice.
