Language planning and policy in Quebec
Author: Jakob LeimgruberPublisher: Narr Francke Attempto Verlag
ISBN: 3823393154
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 301
Book Description
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.
