A legion of unseen people is usually behind the author and behind the scenes, helping, inspiring, providing data, correcting and fulfilling all the other functions necessary to the production of such a text. In this case, it has literally taken a village, or eleven, to produce this dissertation. I would like first place among my acknowledgements to go to the inhabitants of Amfreville, Besneville, Chef- du-Pont, Crosville-sur-Douve, Darnétal, La Bonneville, Pont-l’Abbé-Picauville, Rauville-la-Place, Rouen, St-Martin-de-Varreville and Turqueville, the places whose speech I study in this dissertation. They welcomed me and allowed me to sample and study their speech, and to share a small part of their lives and become their friend; without such a welcome, studies like this one cannot be made, or they are at least much the poorer. I look forward to continued visits to my Normandy communities, not always with microphone in hand. Next, I thank the 2003 entering Linguistics PhD cohort at the University of Pennsylvania, and chiefly among them Michael Friesner, friend, scholar of French, honorary member of my dissertation committee and mensch. He has saved me from many theoretical steps too far and other kinds of error in this dissertation. Łukasz Abramowicz, Aaron Dinkin, Maya Ravindranath, Tanja Scheffler and Joel Wallenberg are and will remain good friends, and I have learnt much from them too. I thank Gillian Sankoff and Bill Labov for their insight over the years, too; it has been a privilege and a pleasure to work with you, and I look iii forward to encountering you all at conferences and on social occasions in years to come. The same goes for my many other friends at Penn: people in Linguistics in other years than my own, friends from other disciplines, and simply those who smoothed the path and made it a pleasure to be at the University. I am sorry I cannot list you all individually, but I hope you know who you are. Finally, and with love, I thank my parents, John and Yvonne Hall, and my wife, Suzanne Dorf Hall. Your support, from the financial to the emotional, including the making of food, has made this possible. Permission for use of copyrighted works I gratefully acknowledge the permission of the copyright-holders to use the following works: • Figure 1-1 (pg. 7): taken from Lepelley 1999a: 46, with permission from the Presses Universitaires de Caen • Figure 2-5 (pg. 51): taken from Aggolmération de Rouen 2007 (a website), with permission from the webmaster iv ABSTRACT A SOCIOLINGUISTIC STUDY OF THE REGIONAL FRENCH OF NORMANDY Damien John Hall Gillian Sankoff This dissertation is the first investigation of the Regional French of Normandy using sociolinguistic principles of data collection and analysis as outlined by Labov (2001). It provides a partial characterisation of the regional variety of French spoken in Normandy, France, by analysis of linguistic, dialectological and attitudinal data collected in two sites: La Bonneville (rural Lower Normandy) and Darnétal (urban Upper Normandy). This is the first sociolinguistic study of any variety of European French to make exclusive use of instrumental measurements for the investigation of phonological variables (the vowels in this study). Two vowel variables and one morphosyntactic variable, all of which have been noted in the literature as characteristic of the Regional French of Normandy, are investigated in the purely linguistic part of the study. In the dialectological / attitudinal part of the study, informants were asked to fill in maps of Normandy according to where they thought people spoke differently. They were then asked whether there was a local accent in their area, whether they had it themselves, whether they could give any examples of the accent and whether they thought the accent was a good one. In the final part of the dissertation, the results of these questions are v compared with the phonological results speaker-by-speaker, to determine in particular whether there is any correlation between an individual speaker's opinion about the 'goodness' of the accent and their own phonological results (whether or not they actually use the Normandy variant of the vowel variables). The conclusions of the study are that the effect of a Norman-language substrate in the Regional French of Normandy is limited at best, and that, in linguistic terms, Normandy still constitutes a single speech-community. However, in perceptual-dialectological terms, Normandy is arguably not a single speech-community, since there is little shared knowledge of norms between the communities, at opposite ends of Normandy, which are investigated here.

Chapter 5 Variation in Romance Diego Pescarini and Michele Loporcaro 5.1 Introduction This chapter sets out to show how the study of linguistic variation across closely related languages can fuel research questions and provide a fertile testbed for linguistic theory. We will present two case studies in structural variation – subject clitics and (perfective) auxiliation – and show how a comparative view of these phenomena is best suited to providing a satisfactory account for them, and how such a comparative account bears on a number of theoretical issues ranging from (rather trivially) the modeling of variation to the definition of wordhood, the inventory of parts of speech, and the division of labour between syntax and morphology. 5.2 Systematic variation: the case of subject clitics French, northern Italian Dialects, Ladin, and Romansh are characterized by the presence, with variable degrees of obligatoriness, of clitic elements stemming from Latin nominative personal pronouns.

  • Convergence and Divergence in Language Contact Situations
    Sonderforschungsbereich Mehrsprachigkeit International Colloquium on Convergence and Divergence in Language Contact Situations 18–20 October 2007 University of Hamburg Research Centre on Multilingualism Welcome On behalf of our Research Centre on Multilingualism (Sonderforschungsbereich Mehrsprachigkeit), generously supported by the German Research Foundation (Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft) and the University of Hamburg, we would like to welcome you all here in Hamburg. This colloquium deals with issues related to convergence and divergence in language contact situations, issues which had been rather neglected in the past but have received much more attention in recent years. Five speakers from different countries have kindly accepted our invitation to share their expertise with us by presenting their research related to the theme of this colloquium. (One colleague from the US fell seriously ill and deeply regrets not being able to join us. Unfortunately, another invited speak- er cancelled his talk only two weeks ago.) All the other presentations are re- ports from ongoing work in the (now altogether 18) research projects in our centre. We hope that the three conference days will be informative and stimulating for all of us, and that the colloquium will be remembered for both its friendly atmosphere and its lively, controversial discussions. The organising commit- tee has done its best to ensure that this meeting with renowned colleagues from abroad will be a good place to make new friends or reinforce long-stand- ing professional contacts. There will be many opportunities for doing that – during the coffee breaks and especially during the conference dinner at an ex- cellent French restaurant on Thursday evening.

  • French in Québec: a Standard to Be Described and Uses to Be Prioritized
    The French Language in Québec: 400 Years of History and Life Part Four II – French a Shared Language Chapter 13 – Which Language for the Future? 52. French in Québec: A Standard to be Described and Uses to Be Prioritized PIERRE MARTEL and HÉLÈNE CAJOLET-LAGANIÈRE The Evolution of the Standard for Written and Spoken French in Québec For more than two centuries, Québécois have lived in a twofold linguistic insecurity. On the one hand, French was rendered a second-class language by English, which was widely dominant in a number of social spheres and, on the other, its status was undermined compared to the French of France, the one and only benchmark. The “ Joual dispute” of the 1960s and 1970s crystallized opinions around a simplistic alternative: either the language of Québécois was the French of France (most usually termed International French 1, chiefly in order to indicate no dependence on the mother country), in which case every effort would have to be made to conform to it on every point, or else theirs was the popular language of those who were little educated, that is, vernacular speech, stigmatized by the term “ Joual ,” which some associated with the very identity of the Québécois. This black and white representation of the state of our language was ideological and unrealistic. It was as if French was made up of only a “standard” level, the correct written usage, and as if Québec French had only one language level, the vernacular, and even the lax and vulgar language. The Charter of the French Language, promulgated in 1977, contained no provision aimed at defining “French in Québec,” the “standard” or the “quality of the language.” However, the 1 The French Language in Québec: 400 Years of History and Life Part Four II – French a Shared Language Chapter 13 – Which Language for the Future? Policy Statement that gave birth to the Charter drew attention to the necessity of having a quality language.

Although not as diffuse as English, but certainly more so than Spanish, since it enjoys currency on five continents and Spanish 1 Henriette Walter suggests fifty-two in Le franc¸ais d’ici, de l`a, de l`a-bas (1998, p. 135). The figure 1 beside a country indicates the authors’ serious reservations about any validity over claims for francophonie for this country.
