| Title |
What Is "Good" Quality Oral French? Language Attitudes Towards "Differently" Accented French in Quebec
|
| Abstract |
The author investigated French-second language and French-Immersion teachers attitudes' towards different French accented speakers. A total of thirty-four teachers were asked to evaluate equally competent speech samples derived from five accented speakers: European, Québécois, Lebanese, Haitian and Anglophone. The author found that the evaluations indicate that accent and the affiliated socially constructed stereotypes play a strong role in how different accented speakers are perceived in terms of oral capacities and prestige, despite their equally competent performances. Likewise she argues that the data shows evidence that the formerly stigmatized reputation of the Québécois-accented speaker has now shifted towards a population that may be described as immigrants from some of the former French colonies or towards non-native French speakers.
