Diglossie au Quebec, limites et tendances actuelles (Diglossia in Quebec, Its Limits and Tendencies)

Chantefort, Pierre

Langue Francaise, 31, 91-104, Sep 76

This article shows that the language situation in Quebec cannot be characterized as a diglossic one (as defined by Ferguson) because of the links existing between Standard Canadian French and "joual." Due to political factors, Quebec is moving toward a mixed standard language. (Text is in French.) (CDSH/CLK)
