presentation about people, their names and the way we call them.

1. Calling family members & Naming people Prof. Belhiah Hassan Conducted by: Rajae Dakkak & Abdelhafid Echerradi

2. Exercise 1

3. What do you call different members of your family? who do you call by their first name ? Who do you call by a kinship term ? Do you use something else entirely different to call them? What about in-laws or more distant relatives ? Do you use kinship terms for any people who are not related to you ? What do these different forms of address mean about the relationships in terms of power and solidarity ?

4. Siblings

5. Parents

6. Grandparents

7. Distant relatives Using kinship terms for people who are not related to you ? In Morocco yes

8. Amazigh Family Amazigh speakers call their mother “ ynna ”, and their dad “ ba ”, their grandmother “ jdda ”, and their grandfather “ jddi ”. They call their brother “ gma ”, but if he’s the oldest he’s called “ dadda ”; they call their sister “ woltma ”, and if she’s the oldest, she’s called “ lalla ”. The same norm is maintained when it comes to distant relatives that is using the terms / xtɪ / , / xɔjʌ /, / ʕʌmɪ /, and / xʌltɪ /.

9. Moroccan Northern Family People in the north call their mother ” ymma ” and their dad “baba ”. Kinship terms are used in some case as in calling their brothers and sisters / xʌj / and / lʕʌjlʌ / , respectively; and in calling their aunts / xʌl θ i / and / ʕʌm θ ɪ/ and their uncles / xʌli / and / ʕʌmɪ /. Concerning more distant relatives, people from this region follow the norm and use a kinship term to call these people with some variation as saying / xʌj / instead of / xɔjʌ /. Also, these people do not use the term / lʕʌjlʌ / to call any girl whether she’s a family member or not. But she should be in a close relationship like a friend to the caller. (The interviewee also mentioned a situation where her sister called a strange girl “l3ayla”, and that girl got very nervous and leave without answering her sister. Meaning that the way we call people indeed has its effect in the relationship we have with them.   )

10. Conclusion Moroccans call their siblings similarily , except in few cases where participants aim to show some stance. The way we call our parents and grandparents represents how our relationship with them is . Calling non-relatives with a kinship term shows how Moroccans consider each other , not only as citizens of a particular country, but also as family members . Gender expectations are also present concerning the way we call our family members . Although l anguage Variation is a topic of study in sociolinguistics , it succeeds to support the normative exceptions among Morrocans . Variation shows how each community has a common practice that contributes to the construction of certain relationships .

11. Exercise 2 Enhancing your presentation

12. . One aspect of naming practices is how people are referred to in radio, magazines, newspapers and TV shows.

13. E xamine such naming practices . L ook at the various grammatical structures that occur and the kinds of characteristics that are deemed to be relevant concerning the person mentioned. D o any patterns emerge having to do with gender, age, occupation, social class, and so on? I s it possible that some of this reporting helps give the news item in which it is found a certain slant that it otherwise would not have?

14. TV shows

15. Analysis Introducing the guest : Our first guest is one of the biggest movie stars in the world. Please welcome Will Smith. The patterns emerged in this show Age: not mentioned or not relevant Occupation: A movie star The grammatical structure consists of the superlative form ‘the biggest’ and ‘one’ which gives the audience a sense that will smith is only one of many stars the show host is considering to invite.

16. Analysis Introducing the guest: welcome back everybody. ladies and gentlemen. I'm happy to say that my first guest tonight is an Emmy award winning comedian you know as the former host of “the daily show” but in two weeks he will host the 66 th Grammy awards right here on CBS. please welcome back to “the late show” Mr. Trevor Noah. The patterns emerged in this naming practices gender : Mr implies that he is a man age : not mentioned occupation : C omedian the grammatical structure : the adjective Emmy award winning comedian and ‘the former host’(the superlative form)

17. I ntroducing the guest our next guest can recite the entire periodic table, so she’s either really smart or just complete show-off. From Salinas, California, please welcome three-year-old Brielle and her mom, Carrie . It is quite noticeable that the show host called the little girl by a different unusual grammatical structure, containing first the adjective adorable, which is noticeable at the beginning of the show title. Then followed by the age, which is something peculiar given the fact that her age as a three year-old girl, can memorize flashcards and different words at that very young age. That is to say, what the show host called her by matches exactly her characteristics and skills as a table expert. At last, Ellen, the host named the girl Briella while her mother was only called by her first name since she plays a secondary role in the show.

18. Newspaper

19. Analysis P atterns emerged in relation to: name: Mikey age: 16 gender: male occupation: a rapper The grammatical structure : the use of numerals indicates his age and the proper name suggests he is a male person as well as his occupation revealed in the body which is a rapper. Age is often considered relevant as it can influence perceptions of maturity, experience and life stage. The person’s occupation conveys information about his social standing and skills or expertise.

20. In the right side, we find the that the person being referred to by her work achievements through calling her Oscar winner. Then, the name followed to show her identity as a female individual calling her Glenda Jackson. This done through using a grammatical structure consisting of the full adjective Oscar winner then the proper name Glenda next to her family name ‘Jackson’ showing thereby her identity and family relationship.

21. Radio Show

22. Analysis طريق خبابس . World champion أقدم لكم آنساتي سيداتي سادتي البطل The radio show host clearly shows his audience the Moroccan champion he invited for the radio show. This is achieved through using a grammatical structure consisting of the adjective ‘world champion’ then the name of the guest to show the audience his skills and experience in this game. The way the host referred to the guest expresses the fact that he is indeed a world champion and the fact that he won competitions in other countries other than Morocco makes him famous as his name being highlighted by the radio show host. The host uses the word ‘Champion’ as a reference to the guest’s occupation and his social status as he became known world wide.
