In this contribution, we analyse the lexical inventiveness of Mohamed Saïd Fellag, a Kabyle-speaking Algerian comedian and humorist, with the aim of reporting on the morpho-lexical creation processes involved and characterising the contexts in which these new lexies appear. In a logic of testimony and experiential narrative, both individual and collective, he forges a theatre-constat in which neology with a humorous and playful aim occupies a cathartic place. We will first present the author, the corpus compiled ad hoc and the theoretical and methodological framework adopted for its treatment. We will then attempt to explain the reasons that motivate, in our opinion, the flowering of Fellagian neologisms, paying particular attention to the morpho-lexical production processes and their functions in the discourse.

Abstract

In this contribution, we analyse the lexical inventiveness of Mohamed Saïd Fellag, a Kabyle-speaking Algerian comedian and humorist, with the aim of reporting on the morpho-lexical creation processes involved and characterising the contexts in which these new lexies appear. In a logic of testimony and experiential narrative, both individual and collective, he forges a theatre-constat in which neology with a humorous and playful aim occupies a cathartic place. We will first present the author, the corpus compiled ad hoc and the theoretical and methodological framework adopted for its treatment. We will then attempt to explain the reasons that motivate, in our opinion, the flowering of Fellagian neologisms, paying particular attention to the morpho-lexical production processes and their functions in the discourse.
