French in the United States

French In the United States

This course will explore the rich history of French in the United States from a sociolinguistic perspective. We will focus on French-speaking communities in New England, the Midwest, Louisiana and immigrant populations in large urban areas. The course has three major topics of interest: language variation, language maintenance/revitalization and language policy. We will use authentic materials from social media, literature, music, legislative documents and more.

All required materials will be provided by the instructor.
