The language situation in Canada with special regard to Quebec

Mehr zum Buch

The paper explores the historical rivalry between the British and French in Canada, which has evolved into a significant dualism reflected in the country's population and culture. It focuses on Canada's bilingualism, examining the causes behind it rather than conducting a linguistic analysis of English development. Additionally, the paper analyzes how both the federal government and the province of Quebec, home to a French-speaking majority, have managed the coexistence of these two major language groups within the Canadian federation.
