  • Valeria Argiolas ( Université Aix Marseille CNRS, IREMAM, Aix-en-Provence ), La Sardaigne libyco-berbère dans les sources gréco-latines et arabes. 
    A non-conventional image of the Ancient Mediterranean emerges from the Greek and Latin sources about the settlement of Sardinia. Next to the Greek, The Phoenicians and the Punic, the Etruscans and the Roman as major actors, some peoples, identifiable as autochthones from the North of Africa, appear on scene. They are called Libyans, Mores, Moroses, et, by Cicero, Afri. Some Sardinian anthropological and linguistic data seem to witness the echo of the facts related. The Arabic sources, for the most part considered of byzantine origin, confirm a Libyco-berber presence in the island. A connection between the Arabic ethnonym Barbar and the Byzantine ethnonym Barbarikinoi in Sardinia is proposed.

  • El Khatir Aboulkacem -Afulay (IRCAM, Rabat), Tamegrout et le développement de la tradition de lmazghi
    In the wake of studies that relate religious literature written in particular in Tachelhit, called lamzghi, to the action of zaouïas, this contribution proposes to situate the production of Mhend Ou Ali Awzal, a scholar from the central Anti-Atlas, within the precise framework of his forced exile within the zaouïa of Tamegrout, directed at the time by Sheikh Sidi Ahmed Benasr, at the beginning of the 18th century. After restoring the historical and social contexts of the emergence and development of a literature written in Amazigh and presenting its major features, we show how the zaouïas, which became important actors in local life from the sixteenth century, used this tradition in their outreach and mobilization activities. The presentation of the experience of the House of Tamegrout in relation to the production of Awzal, developed in the last paragraphs, constitutes a major argument for the understanding of the conditions of the historical continuity of writing in Amazigh before the establishment of the protectorate in Morocco.

       Varia

      It has commonly been pointed out that Tamazight and Tarifiyt avoid the appearance of schwa in open syllables. We take this restriction as a starting point           and propose a constraint that bans the association of schwa with a mora. This constraint is so pervasive in the grammar of the Amazigh dialects concerned       that other apparently unrelated phonological and morpho-phonological phenomena ensue from it. First, schwa never participates in a vowel epenthesis               augmentation phenomenon. Second, it does not contribute to the weight of closed syllables for stress reasons. Finally, it does not participate in                           compensatory lengthening to fill a vacant mora.
