Le Paysage normand dans la littérature et dans l'art
L'ouvrage contient les textes des communications qui ont été présentées au colloque d'Evreux, en mars 1978. Une exposition organisée par Geneviève Viallefond se tenait en même temps au musée d'Evreux. Ce recueil reflète les orientations suivantes : demeures et sites inspirés, le pays des noms, espace et lumière du paysage, à la recherche d'un mythe. Le paysage normand n'a jamais cessé de solliciter artistes et écrivains. Ils ont aimé à s'attarder sur une nature familière et à célébrer les travaux et les jours du Pays de Caux ou du Pays d'Ouche.Les études que nous publions donnent une idée de ces jeux de l'imaginaire et du réel, de ces rencontres inattendues, de ces réactions passionnées où l'écrivain se fait peintre, et le peintre va vers la littérature pour dire la beauté de la province normande.
Français du Canada - Français de France VIII
The book contains papers presented at an international colloquium which has taken place at regular intervals (since 1985) and which is devoted to the contrasting study of the French language in Europe and Canada. In 2007 the focus was on the different varieties of French that can be observed in France and in Canada. Here specialists from Canada, France and Germany present their research results in the fields of phonetics and phonology, vocabulary and lexicography, word formation, history of the French language and the history of (French) place names in present-day Canada.
Roots of Creole Structures
This book reflects an ongoing shift in the study of contact languages: After a period of history-free universalism, it directs the attention to the individual historical circumstances under which the pidgin and creole languages arose. The contributions deal with different areas of language structure including phonology, morphology, and syntax, providing a wealth of structural and sociohistorical data that any comprehensive theory of contact languages will have to account for. Each of the papers provides a thorough description of a structural phenomenon against the background of the sociohistorical contact situation. The languages covered in the book are: Guiné-Bissau Creole, Haitian Creole, Hawai'i Creole, Indo-Portuguese creoles, Jamaican Creole, Lingua Franca, North American French, Mauritian Creole, Santomense, Saramaccan, Seychelles Creole, Sranan, Surinamese Maroon creoles, Vincentian Creole, and Zamboangueño Chavacano.
Français du Canada - Français de France
This fifth colloquium represents a continuation of its predecessors in that it attempts to achieve a better understanding of the numerous features linking the forms of French spoken and written in Canada and France respectively. The overall theme in this case was 'Language Contact' with special reference to the history of the contacts in question. Each of the 19 contributions assembled here addresses both the historical and the linguistic aspects of the contact phenomena they deal with. The articles are divided into two main sections, those centering on the relations between the various forms of French used in Canada and France, and those concentrating on the various forms of French found in Canada and their contacts with other languages.
French Inside Out
In this comprehensive introduction, Henriette Walter provides the reader with a panoramic view of the development of the French language in the past, present and future. She takes the reader on a rapid and lively journey through the historical development of the language from its Latin origins to the present day. She goes on to set the language in its linguistic context by surveying its surviving and vanished dialects and regional variations of the language within France. Widening her focus, Walter examines French throughout the world, giving examples of the pronunciation and vocabulary of each region or nation. Finally she looks at French today: its structure, the effects of social change on the language, and its future in an increasingly English dominated world. This stimulating and entertaining account offers students of French a clear and accessible introduction to the language. The wealth of information it provides is reflected in the extensive bibliography, four indices and numerous world lists, maps and diagrams.
The Two Traditions
Newfoundland is well known for the strong traditions and folklore of its English-speaking inhabitants. Until recently, however, few outside this province realized that there is also a small but vigorous Francophone population, situated mainly on the west coast of the island in and around the Port au Port Peninsula. The culture and folklore, and particularly their storytelling traditions, are the focus of the work by noted folklorist and memorial university professor Gerald Thomas. Thomas has conducted extensive and exhaustive research on the Port au Port Peninsula for more than twenty years, focusing on, though not limited to, the music and story telling in Franco Newfoundland communities, through the study of the repertoire, context and lives on three people: Mrs. Blanche Ozone, Mrs. Angela Kerfont, and Emile Benoit.
Français du Canada – Français de France VII
Following in the footsteps of the previous six colloquia, the primary goal of this seventh colloquium (Lyon, June 16–18 2003) was to bring together scholars interested in geographical varients of French, especially those concerned with comparing French in Canada and France. The records contain seventeen of the nineteen lectures and focus on two topics: the influence of Gardette on Franco-Canadian lexiconical research and the evaluation of regional linguistic atlases.
The Survival of People and Languages: Schooners, Goats and Cassava in St. Barthélemy, French West Indies
In The Survival of People and Languages: Schooners, Goats and Cassava in St. Barthelemy, French West Indies, Julianne Maher examines the enigmatic linguistic complexity of the island of St. Barthélemy in the French Caribbean, analyzes its four language varieties and traces the social history which caused its fragmentation.
Language and a Sense of Place
This book explores twenty-first century approaches to place by bringing together a range of language variation and change research.
