This work focuses on the Acadian vernacular - transmitted orally to
the present day - of the French speakers of the Port-au-Port
peninsula in the extreme west of the island of Newfoundland in
Canada. The result is a differential dictionary based on a corpus
of field studies dating mostly from the early 1990s and amassing
responses from 56 native informants, all of them bilingual
(French/English). It comprises 2240 main entries and about 5400
examples of usage. Each article is followed by remarks of a
comparative and historical nature.
