ociolinguists give a particular attention and interest to the relationship between language and society. Moroccan immigrants living in France, a multicultural society, is an interesting field of research because of their everyday cultural and linguistic interactions. The purpose of this paper is to analyse and discuss the link between language, culture and identity throughout the answers of Moroccan immigrants who live in France and belong to two different generations. It is crucial to know that the number of the informants who filled the questionnaires is 172. They belong to the first and second generations and are non-educated and educated respectively. The number of the questions is 36 but we will focus only on nine questions, which deal mainly with linguistic competence (Question 9), linguistic difficulties (Question 10), linguistic preference (Question 11), language choice and use in different situations (Questions 12 and 14) and also how those immigrants tackle everyday life (Questions 22 and 23), their attitudes towards traditions and cultures in France and Morocco (Questions 24 and 25). The place of investigation is Morocco, and the informants are of course Moroccan immigrants who live in France with different ages and levels of education. The variables age and education are very important in my research in order to make comparisons between the first and the second generations of immigrants.
