Abstract
This article examines the sociolinguistic dynamics of change and identity in Morocco and the debate that takes place on the issue of the construction and legitimacy of the Moroccan national identity. The analysis focuses on the importance of language and identity axis and its relationship to the unitary nation state model implemented in Morocco since independence until now. The article presents also a review of landscape identity from the sociolinguistic point of view and how that landscape has evolved over the last fifty years, creating a dynamic market of change in language and identity in Morocco. Finally, the article presents a critical evaluation of the model of language policy and identity of the Moroccan State, proposing a different model according to these dynamics of change currently taking place. The approach from which frames this analysis is the sociolinguistic critic and historical discourse.
