Liaison variable et modèle variationniste labovien: Une exception française
Une analyse de la liaison chez 96 élèves de lycée a démontré que le nombre global de liaisons produites a été nettement supérieur en lecture qu’en conversation et que les filles en ont réalisé plus que les garçons. Si ces deux résultats ne surprennent guère, ils vont néanmoins à l’encontre des attentes de la théorie variationniste. Nous soutiendrons que ces deux tendances ont pour facteur commun le rôle de la liaison comme marqueur de l’écrit à l…
Variable Liaison, Diglossia, and the Style Dimension in Spoken French
A focus of recent attention, and controversy, in French linguistics has been the diglossia hypothesis,1 according to which formal French has diverged to such a degree from everyday spoken language that native speakers now internalize two separate grammars, High (H) and Low (L), or in Benjamin Massot’s terms français classique tardif (FCT) and français démotique (FD) respectively.2 Variable liaison, which involves the realization in word-final, pr…
Language and Social Structure in Urban France
The coming together of linguistics and sociology in the 1960's, most notably via the work of William Labov, marked a revolution in the study of language and provided a paradigm for the understanding of variation and change. Labovian quantitative methods have been employed successfully in North America, the UK, Scandinavia and New Zealand, but have had surprisingly little resonance in France, a country which poses many challenges to orthodox socio…
Exception française? Levelling, Exclusion, and Urban Social Structure in France
This chapter aims to investigate two areas of French exceptionality. First, there is the fact that Labovian variationist research methodologies, widely and successfully applied in Britain, Scandinavia, and anglophone and francophone North America, appear to have made almost no headway in France, without the reasons for this being obvious. Second, as even a casual reader of the sociolinguistic literature will note, there is the surprisingly high d…
Dedialectalization in France: Convergence and Divergence
This article challenges the received view that geolinguistic variation in France is both imminent and inevitable. It is certainly true that France's ancestral dialects and regional languages are in terminal decline, and that a combination of late industrialization and the dominance of an oversized capital conurbation has engendered regional dialect leveling of a particularly extreme kind. But we will argue that new varieties are emerging, and tha…
Blue-sky thinking: Léon Bollack and La Langue française en l’an 2003
This paper tests the predictions of Bollack’s 1903 article against the now known reality of twenty-first-century French. While many of his claims are undoubtedly naïve, Bollack often proves an astute observer of spoken French, who merely underestimates resistance to change in the written language. Moreover, he identifies themes which were to dominate the mainstream linguistic agenda, and sets out principles of change which would influence comment…

The dynamic model and inherent variability: The case of northern France
This paper explores the claims of the ‘dynamic’model of variation by testing it against data recorded in Avion, northern France. Parallels are drawn between langue d'oïl areas of France and decreolization situations in which proponents of the dynamic model have generally worked. Evidence to support the rejection of inherent variability within the dynamic model is found to rest on invariant performance for very small numbers of tokens, and on the …
Read on: A Conference Approach to Reading
Although the return to the use of is gaining momentum, there are still few reference books available for the teacher. This is a practical guide for implementing a reading program in classrooms. It shows how the literature strand can be organized and how an experienced-based strand can be incorporated even into lesson plans featuring basal texts. The practices recommended are based on sound theory, but the emphasis of the book is on experiences an…
