Social and linguistic change in French
Armstrong, Nigel.

Social and linguistic change in French[electronic resource] /Nigel Armstrong and Tim Pooley. - New York :Palgrave Macmillan,2010. - xvii, 310 p. :ill., maps

Includes bibliographical references and index.

Preliminary Remarks: The Links Between Social and Linguistic Change -- Standardisation and Language Change in France, Belgium and Switzerland -- Social Levelling: Substantive Transformations, Changing Social Practices and Symbolic Representations -- Accents and Levelling in France, Belgium and Switzerland -- The Levelling of Regional Varieties in France -- Regional Vernacular Varieties and Language Levelling in Belgium and Switzerland -- Social Factors: Bringing Together Class, Gender, Migration, Ideology and Language.

The authors examine how linguistic variation and change in the majorFrench-speaking countriesof Europe; France, Belgium and Switzerland, has in recent times reflected social convergence or 'levelling'. Linguistic levelling, which results in fewer differences between social and regional accents and diminishes the prestige of the standard language, is seen very clearly in a country like the UK, where social differences are revealed in urban accents, or have been until recently. Levelling reflects social change, and the change of interest here is a sort of informalisation that has accelerated since the 1960s, with stress on the values of youth and the erosion of hierarchies and deference. An in-depth examination of how levelling is proceeding in the francophone area compared to other European countries has until now been lacking. This book provides a detailed account of recent socialand linguistic change inEuropean French, drawing on the latest findings.
