Les Français, les Québécois et la langue de l'autre
Author: Pierre Larrivee
Publisher: Editions L'Harmattan
ISBN: 229621651X
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : fr
Pages : 248
Book Description
Quels sont les rapports entre une culture et une langue ? Les Francophones de France et du Québec partagent-ils la même culture ? On peut répondre à ces questions en étudiant les discours sur l'autre. L'analyse des discours publics sur la langue de l'autre permet de démontrer des divergences entre les deux groupes. Elles comprennent la valeur relative accordée à chaque variété, l'importance qu'y prend la formalité et la façon qu'on y a de conduire la conversation. Ces différences sont solidaires des stéréotypes sur l'arrogance des uns et la simplicité des autres.

Phonological Variation in French
Author: Randall Scott Gess
Publisher: John Benjamins Publishing
ISBN: 9027234914
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 406
Book Description
This volume presents a selection of French varieties representing the great diversity of this language along geographical, social, and stylistic dimensions. Twelve illustrations from regions as far removed as Western Canada and Central Africa represent widely divergent social contexts of language use. Each chapter is based on original surveys conducted within the framework of the Phonology of Contemporary French project, described in the Introduction. These surveys constitute an invaluable source of new data for researchers, as many of the varieties included are otherwise undocumented in any systematic way. The chapters follow a similar format: presentation of the survey(s) and the sociolinguistic dimensions of the variety studied; description of the phonological inventory of the system(s), principal allophonic realizations, phonotactic constraints, behavior of schwa, behavior of liaison consonants, and other notable characteristics. The book opens with an informative introduction and closes with a chapter providing a synthesis of the major findings by continent.

Franco-Americans in Massachusetts
Author: Edith Szlezák
Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
ISBN: 3823374494
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 326
Book Description
Within the United States of America, French is of importance in only two areas, Louisiana and New England, the latter often being referred to as the Québec d'en bas for its high number of French-Canadian immigrants. Among the six states that constitute New England, Massachusetts is the one that attracted most of them, Québécois as well as Acadiens. Despite the high number of citizens of French-Canadian origin and the proximity to Canada, French has been losing ground as a langue du foyer in all of New England but especially in the southern part. This sociolinguistic study concentrates on the process of language decay among the French-Canadian population of Massachusetts. Based on a corpus consisting of 87qualitative interviews and a quantitative questionnaire survey of 392 questionnaires in 7 areas (covering the centers of French-Canadian immigration throughout Massachusetts),this study approaches the topic in a new, broader angle by encompassing the following aspects: ananalysis of U.S. Census data on ancestry and language use, an overview of the history of French-Canadian presence in Massachusetts, various specificities of the varieties of Canadian French spoken there, as well as ananalysis of the extralinguistic factors, such as the heterogeneity of the French-speaking population, and the intralinguistic consequences, such as unskilled code-switching,of language decay.

Language planning and policy in Quebec
Author: Jakob Leimgruber
Publisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
ISBN: 3823301853
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 412
Book Description
This book presents an in-depth study of the language policies present in the Canadian province of Quebec, and considers them from a comparative perspective, with special focus on Singapore and Wales. In so doing, it uses a mix of methods to look at the effects of language planning on language use: questionnaires, linguistic landscapes (visible language in public space), ethnography, and psycholinguistic experiments. Besides offering background information on Canada and Quebec, the comparative element uses data from Singapore and Wales to shine a new light on how language is managed in Quebec.
