University of Basra organizes a training workshop on linguistic pollution among female students

The Department of Educational and Psychological Sciences at the College of Education for Girls organized a training workshop on linguistic pollution among female students, presented by teaching staff Marwa Al-Yasiri, Duha Adel Salem, Maysaa Sabry, and Sarah Jabbar Salman.
 
The workshop dealt with the mixtures of speech that have crept into the Arabic language in our time, between eloquent and colloquial dialects, full of melody and error, and the errors used by some specialists who seek to replace the colloquial language close to the proper language, based on their belief that students do not receive information except through this type of communication.

The workshop discussed that the phenomenon of overlap and mixture that combines classical Arabic with colloquial and foreign dialects, and the use of numbers, letters, and symbols to form structures, is a new situation in our society, and is characterized by the absence of stable and precise rules upon which written words are formed.

The workshop discussed the reasons for the emergence of this situation for several reasons, which may be family, social, educational, and media.

In order to reduce this phenomenon, the media must carry out continuous awareness by urging the masses to speak classical Arabic, and also calling on schools to teach classical Arabic, in addition to holding courses and seminars that increase the use of classical Arabic.
