Abstract
The current study is concerned with studying lexical and morpho-syntactic variation features in the interaction of female students in Ain Shams, Assiut and Alexandria universities. It seeks to answer the following questions: What are the defining language features of a female speaker? How are these features demonstrated linguistically? What are the social factors affecting the development of such features? To address such questions, the approach of sociolinguistic variation has been adopted. Two methods of data collection have been applied: Questionnaire and Computer Mediated Communication (CMC). The questionnaire has been distributed on a sample of (600) female students in the three universities and (240) permission approvals have been obtained to access the students’ facebook acounts. This study consists of four chapters and a conclusion. Chapter one provides a theoretical background, a literature review, main concepts and approach of the study. Chapter two deals with lexical aspects of variation in the interaction of female students with their corresponding statistical results. Chapter three deals with morpho-syntactic aspects of variation in the interaction of female students with their corresponding statistical results. Chapter four addresses the possible social factors that play a major role in shaping the discussed features of linguistic variation. Finally, the conclusion presents the findings of the study and emphasizes the prevalence of linguistic variation in the interaction of female students.
