Title
Assimilation linguistique et remplacement des générations francophones et anglophones au Québec et au Canada
Abstract
Based on a longitudinal analysis of census data from 1971 to 1996, the author points out the weakness of French compared to English as a language of assimilation in Montreal. He argues that in view of the stabilization of the low fertility rate in the Anglophone and Francophone populations at similar levels, the demographic loss to the French-speaking population caused by the disproportionate power of assimilation of English is directly reflected in a comparison of the age profiles of the two populations : the Anglophone generations are being replaced both in Quebec and in the rest of Canada, whereas the deficit between the Francophone generations is leading to a decline in the population groups both in Quebec and French Canada as a whole.
