A reader in French sociolinguistics
Author: M. H. OffordPublisher: Multilingual Matters
ISBN: 9781853593437
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : fr
Pages : 240
Book Description
This book brings together twenty-eight important extracts relating to French sociolinguistics. It is divided into four sections: the French language in France today, linguistic diversity in France, French outside France, and French and gender. The extracts have been drawn from a host of sources and have been selected to illustrate a wide range of attitudes and approaches to the role of French in France and elsewhere in the world. Government decrees and circulars, historical analyses, descriptions by contemporary sociolinguistics in Europe and further afield, and documents produced by organisations which exist to protect the French language all appear. The emphasis of the book is upon objective assessment, but also included are official statements and more stridently chauvinistic appraisals. Certain themes occur - particularly the perennial rivalry between English and French, as well as concern that French is losing its influence in many parts of the world and that it is escaping the authoritarian control that used to be exercised on it. A more recent concern is the charge that French is essentially a sexist language to which speakers need to be more and more sensitised.
