A research of health's register in al-Jazeera.net newspaper is an example of research in the field of sociolinguistics. It contains specific terms that are often used in the writings as well as a large number of borrowings from other languages that have been adapted to the language borrowed. This study aimed at identifying the specific terms of health grammar used in the paper and determine its frequency. It also seeks to explain the loan terms contained in it and make the analysis of morphophonology to explain the changes involved. This qualitative research involved 15 health news articles from newspaper al- Jazeera.net on-line.
