Abstract:

This book represents the first in-depth, comparative investigation of
linguistic purism in modern French. It investigates the relative prevalence of
purist ideology in France and Quebec. Both experience influence from English
and have similar language legislation, but they differ in their social,
political and economic history. Three different levels of society are examined
(official, group and individual), allowing a comparison of the ‘voice from
above’ and the ‘voice from below’. This is a key element in recent discussions
of language planning but is rarely provided in studies of French. The study is
also the first to apply to empirical data Thomas’s widely cited theoretical
framework for describing linguistic purism (1991), and has evaluated and
refined this, enhancing the theoretical underpinnings of the field. The book
will be of interest not only to French scholars and sociolinguists, but also
to scholars of language planning, language policy and language ideologies in
all languages.
