Title
Bilingualism in Montreal: A Demographic Analysis
Abstract
The author argues that, based on census data between 1921 and 1961, bilingualism in Montreal appeared to be an end product of language contact rather than an intermediate step towards monolingualism. Cohort analysis discloses relatively low degrees of bilingualism among small children, a rapid rise during the school and young adult ages, and an actual net decline during the middle and older ages.
