La langue de l'affichage à Montréal de 1997 à 1999

In 1997, the Conseil de la langue française, the Office de la langue française, and the Commission de protection de la langue française collected data on the language on signs displayed on store fronts on the island of Montreal. The same survey was redone in the fall of 1999 to study the evolution of the situation. The surveys of 1997 and 1999 each focussed on 3,100 shops and analyzed more than 25,000 store front sign messages. The present study reports on the place occupied by the French compared to English in 1999 on store fronts compared, as well as in relation to other languages ​​such as Italian, Greek, Spanish, Chinese, etc. It also shows the evolution of the presence of languages ​​on display from 1997 to 1999 on the island of Montreal.
