Seminar paper from the year 2005 in the subject American Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,0, LMU Munich (Amerikanistik Institut), course: Canada Today, language: English, abstract: This research paper wants to discuss the question, whether French is able to remain the predominant language in Canada ́s province Quebec, or if there is a shift towards replacement by the English language. Obviously, the number of the French speaking population in Quebec is a lot higher than the one that speaks English. Currently, about 9% of world ́s Francophones are Canadians and of those, around 30% are Quebecers. French is the mother tongue of over 80% of the Quebecois population, and of only 13%, it is English (Gentsch 142). It seems as if the roles in Quebec are assigned. But English is the world language and is spoken in the rest of Canada as well as by 280 million inhabitants of its huge southern neighbor, the United States of America. Quebec is surrounded by English speaking countries. Will a small province like Quebec be able to preserve its culture and its language or is it going to be overswept by the wave of "anglicization" after all? Canadians are very proud of their culture and language. It is very important for foreigners, who visit Quebec, to speak French. In an newspaper article about a winter festival in Quebec, a German boy said about himself and his friends: "Wir alle können kein Französisch" (Tourisme du Quebec) and therefore implicated that it is not possible to manage a visit in the Canadian province without knowing any French. But Quebec is not an only-French speaking province, is it? In almost all parts of the world, tourists, who visit other countries, are able to correspond in English there. In Quebec, although about 11% of all inhabitants are Anglophones, people prefer leading a conversation in French. They are proud of their culture and their language and therefore, they are looking down on everything that could endanger it. Quebecois are very much afraid of En

Quebecois are very much afraid of English replacing their beloved French language. The key component of Quebec ́s national culture is their French language. René Lévesque, leader of the Parti Québécois from 1976 until 1981, explained this in 1968: „Being ourselves is essentially a matter of developing and keeping a personality that has survived for three and a half centuries.

This book presents an in-depth study of the language policies present in the Canadian province of Quebec, and considers them from a comparative perspective, with special focus on Singapore and Wales. In so doing, it uses a mix of methods to look at the effects of language planning on language use: questionnaires, linguistic landscapes (visible language in public space), ethnography, and psycholinguistic experiments. Besides offering background information on Canada and Quebec, the comparative element uses data from Singapore and Wales to shine a new light on how language is managed in Quebec.

Multinational federations rest on the coexistence of two or more nations within a single polity. Within these federations, minority nations play a significant role as their character differs from the other building blocks of the federation. This edited volume offers a comprehensive comparison of two such minority nations - Quebec in Canada and Wallonia in Belgium - which exemplifies many dimensions, themes and issues highly resonant to the study of federalism and regionalism across the globe. Quebec and Wallonia have experienced several decades of federal dynamics where both regions have had to find their way as a minority nation in a multinational federation. For those studying federalism and regionalism their importance lies in a number of characteristics, but principally in the fact of these minority nations have transformed into mini-states with fully fledged legislative powers within their federation. This book seeks to study the specific dynamics within these small worlds and between them and the rest of the federation. This text will be of key interest to students and scholars of federalism, nationalism and regionalism, comparative politics and policies, political ideas and social movements.

The Canadian Encyclopedia written by James H. Marsh and has been published by The Canadian Encyclopedia this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1999 with Canada categories.

This edition of "The Canadian Encyclopedia is the largest, most comprehensive book ever published in Canada for the general reader. It is COMPLETE: every aspect of Canada, from its rock formations to its rock bands, is represented here. It is UNABRIDGED: all of the information in the four red volumes of the famous 1988 edition is contained here in this single volume. It has been EXPANDED: since 1988 teams of researchers have been diligently fleshing out old entries and recording new ones; as a result, the text from 1988 has grown by 50% to over 4,000,000 words. It has been UPDATED: the researchers and contributors worked hard to make the information as current as possible. Other words apply to this extraordinary work of scholarship: AUTHORITATIVE, RELIABLE and READABLE. Every entry is compiled by an expert. Equally important, every entry is written for a Canadian reader, from the Canadian point of view. The finished work - many years in the making, and the equivalent of forty average-sized books - is an extraordinary storehouse of information about our country. This book deserves pride of place on the bookshelf in every Canadian Home. It is no accident that the cover of this book is based on the Canadian flag. For the proud truth is that this volume represents a great national achievement. From its formal inception in 1979, this encyclopedia has always represented a vote of faith in Canada; in Canada as a separate place whose natural worlds and whose peoples and their achievements deserve to be recorded and celebrated. At the start of a new century and a new millennium, in an increasingly borderless corporate world that seems ever more hostile to nationaldistinctions and aspirations, this "Canadian Encyclopedia is offered in a spirit of defiance and of faith in our future. The statistics behind this volume are staggering. The opening sixty pages list the 250 Consultants, the roughly 4,000 Contributors (all experts in the field they describe) and the scores of researchers, editors, typesetters, proofreaders and others who contributed their skills to this massive project. The 2,640 pages incorporate over 10,000 articles and over 4,000,000 words, making it the largest - some might say the greatest - Canadian book ever published. There are, of course, many special features. These include a map of Canada, a special page comparing the key statistics of the 23 major Canadian cities, maps of our cities, a variety of tables and photographs, and finely detailed illustrations of our wildlife, not to mention the colourful, informative endpapers. But above all the book is "encyclopedic" - which the "Canadian Oxford Dictionary describes as "embracing all branches of learning." This means that (with rare exceptions) there is satisfaction for the reader who seeks information on any Canadian subject. From the first entry "A mari usque ad mare - "from sea to sea" (which is Canada's motto, and a good description of this volume's range) to the "Zouaves (who mustered in Quebec to fight for the beleaguered Papacy) there is the required summary of information, clearly and accurately presented. For the browser the constant variety of entries and the lure of regular cross-references will provide hours of fasination. The word "encyclopedia" derives from Greek expressions alluding to a grand "circle of knowledge." Our knowledge has expandedimmeasurably since the time that one mnd could encompass all that was known.Yet now Canada's finest scientists, academics and specialists have distilled their knowledge of our country between the covers of one volume. The result is a book for every Canadian who values learning, and values Canada.

Instead, he shows that while the allegory of nation marks Quebec film production, it also leads to a tension between textual and contextual forces, between homogeneity and heterogeneity, and between major and minor modes of being and identity.".

The culmination of forty years of research, The Language of the Inuit maps the geographical distribution and linguistic differences between the Eskaleut and Inuit languages and dialects. Providing details about aspects of comparative phonology, grammar, and lexicon as well as Inuit prehistory and historical evolution, Louis-Jacques Dorais shows the effects of bilingualism, literacy, and formal education on Inuit language and considers its present status and future. An enormous task, masterfully accomplished, The Language of the Inuit is not only an anthropological and linguistic study of a language and the broad social and cultural contexts where it is spoken but a history of the language’s speakers.
