Abstract

This paper presents the various features of the phonetic/phonemic structures of the system of Tiaret Spoken Arabic, TRT. Although we are not concerned here by the historical development that characterises this variety, the history of population contact and diffusion that underlies TRT is of a matter of interest since it allows us to get some linguistic data. The section on the segmental aspect of TRT, as its title implies, covers mainly the phonetic/phonemic inventories of TRT. It also examines some phonological processes such as vowel lowering and vowel centralisation in addition to the phonotactic constraints.
