Title |
A Bilingual Corpus-Assisted Discourse Study of the Construction of Nationhood and Belonging in Quebec
|
Abstract |
The French language has traditionally been understood as a key symbol of modern Quebec identity; however, with rapidly changing demographics, the authors argue that new ways of identifying with Quebec have begun to emerge. Drawing on a bilingual corpus of English and French briefs submitted to the 2007-2008 Consultation Commission on Accommodation Practices Related to Cultural Differences, also known as the Bouchard-Taylor Commission, this corpus-assisted discourse study (CADS) investigates the extent to which language plays a continuing role as both a symbol and medium in the construction of nationhood and belonging in Quebec popular discourse. The authors found that language was found to remain both a central concern and a demarcating line within and between English, French, and minority language speakers’ discourses.
