The Impact of Semantic Relations from the Perspective of Sociolinguistic Structures: A Case Study of the Ouadi Souf Dialect

Semantics in language or dialect is a reflective mirror of the sociolinguistic dimension, considering language as a series of organized social activities, not just a means for expressing individual thoughts. It is an expressive tool of the social environment, conveying multiple meanings and gestures of different human behaviors. For example, when someone says "good morning," the automatic response is to greet them with the same greeting. The linguistic meaning of these expressions does not simply convey the idea of a greeting to the individual; it signifies more than that. Semantic language carries the significance of social norms, which must be performed among individuals. This confirms that language or dialect is nothing more than a social phenomenon subject to the individual and the social environment in which they live. It interacts and changes according to the various requirements and developments of life, manifested through different semantic phenomena, including the axis of semantic relations.
