Langue et identité chez les Québécois d’ascendance italienne
|
| Abstract |
To what extent has the metonymy relationship between language "of origin" and ethnic identity as institutionalized in Quebec been integrated by members of minority groups? Reflecting on the construction of a link between language and ethnic identity, the author analyses the discourse of Quebecers of Italian descent on certain of their linguistic practices. Her data reveals some of the elements which may underlie the construction of the link between language and identity, as well as different forms and meanings they may assume. These variations on a theme may be understood in relation to the dominant symbolic order. She concludes that while being a consequence of this order, they are also witness to the challenge of this order and to a will to redefine it.
