Title |
Les rapports de force entre les majorités et les minorités de langue officielle au Canada
|
Abstract |
The author points out that Quebec's distinct character results from the evolution, over a three-century period, of a people, a nation which, today, is the most viable stronghold of the French language and culture in Canada. He argues that over the years, it has remained evident that French-speaking Quebecers' ongoing preoccupation with the survival and blossoming of the French language in America has coloured their relationship with the Anglophone minority in Quebec as well as with the English-speaking majority in the rest of Canada. From this perspective, the authior examines the power struggles occurring between the official language communities in light of some of the major confrontations which have taken place between English and French Canada. His conclusion is that: "Linguistic equality [in Canada] therefore requires that French benefit, in Quebec, from a certain normative advantage over the minority language, English, the latter enjoying the precious fulcrum that constitutes the whole of North America."
