Paper long abstract:

Currently there are ongoing political, economic and sociolinguistic changes in Morocco in the form of the expansion of the new linguistic practices related to social development. Consequently, this new context in Morocco requires different multilingual practices and competences. One of these new linguistic practices is the extension of the use of Moroccan Arabic and Tamazight in areas where it were not / or are most commonly used. This new sociolinguistic context also has undergone a dynamic process of change in a Moroccan multilingual field historically characterized by social and political stratification. According to this Background, the aim of this paper is to analyze these new linguistic practices in terms of relocation of the Moroccan Arabic and Tamazight in the Moroccan sociolinguistic regime, and also in terms of a new glottopolitical model that resist the official language policy. For this purpose, first, I will present the new sociopolitical and economic dynamics of change tacked place currently in Morocco. Second, I will analyze how is produced the extension of use of the local multilingualism (the Moroccan Arabic and Tamazight), considered as resources of a multilingual community, and what relationship will be both varieties with the prestigious languages: Standard Arabic, French, Spanish and English in terms of function and status. Finally, I will find out how the use of local Moroccan multilingualism as a innovative linguistic practices, produces the creation, not only of a new model of communication but also of a new model for planning multilingualism and linguistic variation in Morocco.
