“…Par ailleurs, la matrice française comprend, le plus souvent, la conservation de formes du français acadien traditionnel. L'insertion des mots anglais ne se fait pas de façon aléatoire : des règles strictes régissent leur emploi (Perrot, 1995). Il n'existe pas, à l'heure actuelle, de dictionnaire portant sur cette variété.…”

Le présent bilan vise à dresser un portrait d’ensemble de l’activité lexicographique en Acadie, en examinant les choix méthodologiques des auteurs et les représentations qu’ils entretiennent de la variété de français qu’ils décrivent. L’étude du paratexte de la vingtaine d’ouvrages présentés révèle que la variété privilégiée demeure encore, à ce jour, le français acadien traditionnel, d’où la propension des auteurs à se pencher sur la question des origines. Cet intérêt marqué pour une variété presque disparue prend son sens dans le cadre d’un discours cherchant à légitimer le français acadien en contexte minoritaire. Toutefois, les pratiques lexicales contemporaines sont encore très peu décrites et demeurent, de ce fait, mal connues.This article aims to give a general overview of lexicographic activity in Acadia through an analysis of the methodological choices made by the authors of lexicographic works and of their perception of the variety they are describing. By analyzing the paratexts of the twenty or so works inventoried, we will show that the variety that is the most described remains, to this day, traditional Acadian French, which explains why the authors tend to draw a lot of attention to the question of origins. This strong interest in a variety of language that has almost completely disappeared makes sense when it is understood as part of a discourse legitimizing Acadian French in a minority setting. That being said, modern lexical usage is still not well described and thus not very well known

“…Translating it presents different challenges from those presented by the translation of Fraterne's and Chiasson's bilingual poems for, in Chiac, the linguistic structures of French have been modified as a result of repeated contact with English. Marie-Ève Perrot (1995) explains that Chiac has a French matrix and a vocabulary that is peppered with English. However, the degree of Anglicisation is variable, and often depends on the communication situation of the speaker.…”

This paper examines French Acadian literature's at times conflicted relationship with the target language, English, the other official language of New Brunswick. A broad survey of Acadian literature since 1960 is punctuated with brief discussions of selected works in their sociopolitical context of production. Translations of these works can be placed variously on a continuum that ranges from extremes of vertical to horizontal translation. At one extreme, vertical translation homogenises a fractured identity into the dominant language through annexation. Alternatively, at the foreignising extreme, a translator may opt for a horizontal, minoritising, translation strategy in an effort to decentre the traditional power relationship between the two cultures. This paper gives an overview introduction to these strategies used to translate Acadian literature.

The Handbook of Language Contact

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Language contact has been invoked with increasing frequency over the past two or three decades as a, or the, cause of a wide range of linguistic changes. Historical linguists have (of course) mainly addressed these changes from a diachronic perspective -that is, analyzing ways in which language contact has influenced lexical and/or structural developments over time. But sociolinguists, and many or most of the scholars who would characterize their specialty as contact linguistics, have focused on processes involving contact in analyzing synchronic variation. A few scholars have even argued that contact is the sole source of lan guage variation and change; this extreme position is a neat counterpoint to an older position in historical linguistics, namely, that language contact is responsible only for lexical changes and quite minor structural changes. (This long-superseded older position is echoed, surpris ingly, in Labov's recent claim that 'structural borrowing is rare ' and superficial (Labov 2007: 349, 383).) In this chapter I will argue that neither extreme position is viable. This argument will be developed through a survey of general types of contact explanations, especially explanations for changes over time, juxtaposed with a comparative survey of major causal factors in internally-motivated language change. My goal is to show that both internal and external motivations are needed in any full account of language history (Hickey 2012) and, by implication, of synchronic variation. Progress in contact linguistics depends, in my opinion, on recognizing the complexity of change processes -on resisting the urge to offer a single simple explanation for all types of structural change.The structure of the chapter is as follows. Section 1 provides some background concepts and definitions, and sections 2 and 3 compare and contrast contact explanations with internal explanations of change. Section 4 discusses a much-cited typology-based theory about contact vs. internal explanations. Section 5, finally, is a brief conclusion that includes a warning about the need to be cautious in making claims about the causes of change -both because in most cases no cause can be firmly established and because of the real possibility that multiple causes are responsible for a particular change. Some Background ConceptsFirst, what counts as language contact? The mere juxtaposition of two speakers of different languages, or two texts in different languages, is too trivial to count: unless the speakers or the texts interact in some way, there can be no transfer of linguistic features in either direction. Only when there is some interaction does the possibility of a contact explanation for
