Title
Population and Politics in a Plural Society: The Changing Geography of Canada's Linguistic Groups
Abstract
An examination of population changes of Canada's two official linguistic groups for the period 1981-1986, focusing specially on regional migration tendencies, migration patterns, linguistic shifts, and a projection of the effects of these trends on the distribution of language groups in the twenty-first century. The author's data suggests a stark division in migration and language retention between francophones and anglophones resulting in a diminishing presence of English speakers in Quebec and French speakers outside Quebec. It also suggests a furthering of the bifurcation of French and English language regions.
