Title |
English Usage in Contemporary Quebec: Reflections of the Local
|
Abstract |
The author describes some of the distinctive ways in which English is used in contemporary Quebec, specifically with regard to the lexicon. She argues that many of these distinctive usages reflect the linguistic, social, and cultural realities of life in Quebec today, characterized largely, but not entirely, by the influence of French.
