The Multi Language Levels in Ahlem MOSTGHANMI’s Novels

Abstract

The present article aims at revealing the multi language levels in the Algerian writer, Ahlam Mosteghanemi’s writings, which are characterized by a provocative narrative structure, through which she attempts to introduce strangeness into literature. This author prefers tampering with language in order to create an artistic pleasure, using literary techniques that intensify the language and make it distorted. Her narrative style has special techniques in which the popular and the public intertwine harmoniously through textual structures that differ from one novel to another. Therefore, what is her purpose of using such method of writing? And to what extent has the author succeeded in preserving the Algerian identity by including the Algerian dialects in her literature? Through research and analysis, the study concludes that the writer, Mosteghanemi, through her distinguished literary career, was able to surmount some traditional tools that draw the narrative event without losing her local and national identity, thus preserving the cultural heritage embodied by the narrative language.
