Analyse lexicométrique de la représentation des femmes dans les codes francophones du droit de la famille au Maghreb: une étude basée sur corpus

Abstract

In our work we propose to investigate the linguistic representation of Moroccan, Algerian and Tunisianwomen in family law texts. Through an empirical analysis, we set out to study, from a gender perspective,how the institutional language used by the three countries of the Francophone Maghreb influences socialrelations and the unprogressive image of gender relations in North Africa. Our aim is to highlight howinstitutions see women, their status and role in society, and what is missing to achieve full social andcultural equality, even in language, between people living in the North-African region. We approach ourresearch through a quantitative and a qualitative corpus analysis, through the corpus manager and textanalysis software Sketch Engine.
