طقوس العبور في الحكایة الشعبیة الجزائریة، حكایة الطیر یغني وجناحه یرد علیه أنموذجا

This article deals with the rites of passage in the Algerian folk tales as presented by anthropological studies. In this research, we are going to focus on the rituals of birth, death, wedding, transition from one stage of life to another one. In effect, the rites of transition is the threshold to be exceeded for the individual who wants to move from social, political, or even religious rank to another higher rank. The function of ritual is to solve problems, internal or external pressures whether for individuals or groups of people. This is what we are going to reveal in the tale of "The Singing Bird".
