The description of minority or threatened languages with a view to
documenting the linguistic consequences of language contact and
restriction has now emerged as a distinct area of investigation
within sociolinguistics. In this book, Raymond Mougeon and Edouard
Beniak present a series of analyses of the impact that contact with
English on the one hand, and language-use restriction on the other,
have had on the evolution of the French dialect spoken in the
predominantly English-speaking province of Ontario, Canada. As a
background to the analyses, the authors provide sociohistorical and
sociolinguistic information on the Franco-Ontarian community, and
make comparisons with other varieties of French both within and
outside North America. They address fundamental theoretical issues
such as the interplay between linguistic and extralinguistic causes
of structural change and the mechanisms of linguistic change in
bilingual as opposed to unilingual speech communities.
