Syntactic-semantic study of the elsewhere connector and its Arabic translations in journalistic discourse:

In this work we propose a semantic study of the French connector d''ailleurs by adopting a comparative analysis with some Arabic correspondents used in journalistic discourse to translate the different uses of d''ailleurs. Indeed studies on the French argumentative connector d''ailleurs in particular and on French connectors in general are numerous. However Arabic connectors are rarely studied. Through this research work we wish to address this lack. To do so after presenting the different uses of d''ailleurs we then present its Arabic translations proposed in bilingual dictionaries and those selected in our journalistic corpus. Finally we turn to the analysis of d''ailleurs in terms of its three Arabic correspondents selected from our study corpus: ''iḏ (ْذإ) fī''al-wāqi''i (ﻊﻗاﻮﻟا ﻲﻓ) and min ǧihatin uẖrā (ىﺮﺧأ ﺔﮭﺟ ﻦﻣ). The main objective of our work is to identify the specific definitions of the elsewhere connector to list its possible uses and to shed light on its semantic functions.
