Title
'Le Québec et ses trois langues' dans Un Jardin Entouré de Murailles de Robert Lalonde
Abstract
An examination of Robert Lalonde's 2002 novel, Un Jardin Entouré de Murailles, and its debate on the linguistic future of Quebec. The author points out that the book's language-centred discussion focuses on French, English and "Québécois." The book's main character, "Marguerite Yourcenar", a standard-bearer of French who, travelling in Quebec, is confronted by - and confronts - the other two languages. The book strongly thematizes the debate as to which language should predominate in Quebec, and vigorously (albeit implicitly) favours one of them.
