Title |
French Borrowing in Quebec English
|
Abstract |
An examination of the adoption of gallicisms by English Quebecers. The author provides an overview of work on the effects of Quebec French on Quebec English since 1977. She argues that the framework used by sociolinguists is too narrow methodologically, excluding conversations in English between people whose first languages are different and ignoring the deliberate use of language for political effect. She examines some cognate nouns to show how meanings in Quebec English have shifted because of knowledge of Quebec French.
