Adapted from a larger work,"Speaking In Tongues, Louisiana's Colonial French, Creole & Cajun Languages Tell Their Story" reveals Louisiana's remarkable Old World French & metis language traditions which continue to enchant America and scholars in all the world! But, along with the fame Cajunization has brought the State, historical distortion and misinformation fostered by mass-marketing and media conditioning myopia have suppressed and misrepresented Louisiana's historic French languages, cultural history and people as if uniquely Acadian in origin. But, Louisiana's diverse multi-ethnic French languages, cultural traditions and people existed long before the arrival of the Acadians, who themselves were to become its beneficiaries! Author-scholars John laFleur & Brian Costello, native-speakers respectively of Louisiana's Colonial Creole French & her sister tongue of Louisiana Afro-Creole with Dr. Ina Fandrich, provide a non-commercially scripted, first-time study of both the history and ethnological origins of Louisiana's diverse French-speaking peoples of the French Triangle and present the unvarnished results of their investigation, experience along with the evidence of modern and historical scholarship as seen through the franco and creolophonic traditions of Louisiana. A must read for all Louisiana cultural and linguistic afficionados!

Inspired from a larger and earlier work, Louisiana's French Creole Culinary & Linguistic Traditions: Before & Since Cajunization, 2012, this book, Speaking In Tongues: Louisiana's 'Cajun' & Creole Languages Tell Their Own Story reveals Louisiana's Old World French language traditions alongside the diverse ethno-historical layers of her creolization, or cultural diversification. Louisiana French (misnomered "Cajun French") and Kouri-Vini (relabeled "Louisiana Creole") are the two related franco-creole forms of French. They are the result of a long marriage of diverse peoples who, together, over 300 years, created the larger cultural traditions of "lower Louisiana" -the ultimate and present-day center of which is southern part of the American State of Louisiana. These languages are tied to a much older and larger tradition which is still found and heard across the former international and interracial French Colonial world-her colonies of Québec to the French Antilles and the Latin Caribbean to West Africa, to Réunion and Mauritius in the Indian Ocean across to old Vietnam, in its own diversifications.

The Dictionary of Louisiana French (DLF) provides the richest inventory of French vocabulary in Louisiana and reflects precisely the speech of the period from 1930 to the present. This dictionary describes the current usage of French-speaking peoples in the five broad regions of South Louisiana: the coastal marshes, the banks of the Mississippi River, the central area, the north, and the western prairie. Data were collected during interviews from at least five persons in each of twenty-four areas in these regions. In addition to the data collected from fieldwork, the dictionary contains material compiled from existing lexical inventories, from texts published after 1930, and from archival recordings. The new authoritative resource, the DLF not only contains the largest number of words and expressions but also provides the most complete information available for each entry. Entries include the word in the conventional French spelling, the pronunciation (including attested variants), the part of speech classification, the English equivalent, and the word's use in common phrases. The DLF features a wealth of illustrative examples derived from fieldwork and textual sources and identification of the parish where the entry was collected or the source from which it was compiled. An English-to-Louisiana French index enables readers to find out how particular notions would be expressed in la Louisiane .

The teaching of texts in translation has become an increasingly common practice, but so too has the teaching of texts from languages and cultures with which the instructor may have little or no familiarity. The authors in this volume present a variety of pedagogical approaches to promote translation literacy and to address the distinct phenomenology of translated texts. The approaches set forward in this volume address the nature of the translator’s task and how texts travel across linguistic and cultural boundaries in translation, including how they are packaged for new audiences, with the aim of fostering critical reading practices that focus on translations as translations. The organizing principle of the book is the specific pedagogical contexts in which translated texts are being used, such as courses on a single work, survey courses on a single national literature or a single author, and courses on world literature. Examples are provided from the widest possible variety of world languages and literary traditions, as well as modes of writing (prose, poetry, drama, film, and religious and historical texts) with the aim that many of the pedagogical approaches and strategies can be easily adapted for use with other works and traditions. An introductory section by the editors, Brian James Baer and Michelle Woods, sets the theoretical stage for the volume. Written and edited by authorities in the field of literature and translation, this book is an essential manual for all instructors and lecturers in world and comparative literature and literary translation.

An intense linguistic struggle is unfolding in Louisiana between Cajuns trying to preserve their language on the one hand and the American experience overwhelming it on the other. This study guide provides 21 chapters of practice for anyone who wants to learn or improve his/her Cajun French. This book also includes four short stories and a play in English and Cajun French as well as an expanded English to Cajun French vocabulary section. If you want to learn or improve your knowledge of Cajun French, this book will help. The Cajun Home Companion Vol. 2 is based on the same approach as in the first volume which has already helped many to reach their goal of speaking Cajun French. The 20th century was disastrous for Cajun French in Louisiana. However, with the dawning of the 21st century, a new vigor has arisen to preserve all things Cajun whether it is music, culinary practices or the language. I hope that if you have Cajun French speaking family members, you learn enough of the language from them now to help continue this invaluable cultural tradition. The Cajun Home Companion Vol. 2 will help you do just that.

This fascinating book is the first volume in a projected cultural history of the United States, from the earliest English settlements to our own time. It is a history of American folkways as they have changed through time, and it argues a thesis about the importance for the United States of having been British in its cultural origins. While most people in the United States today have no British ancestors, they have assimilated regional cultures which were created by British colonists, even while preserving ethnic identities at the same time. In this sense, nearly all Americans are "Albion's Seed," no matter what their ethnicity may be. The concluding section of this remarkable book explores the ways that regional cultures have continued to dominate national politics from 1789 to 1988, and still help to shape attitudes toward education, government, gender, and violence, on which differences between American regions are greater than between European nations.
