E-mail this message to a friend We are pleased to announce the creation of a new, free, 45-hour on-line course on variationist linguistics using the varieties of French spoken in the Western provinces of Canada as example cases.
The course, entirely in French, was conceived by Professors Davy Bigot, Concordia University, Montreal, Canada and Robert A. Papen, Université du Québec à Montréal, Canada. It consists of three modules:
- Introduction to variationist linguistics
- History of the francophone communities of Western Canada
- Description of the French varieties spoken in the four provinces of Western Canada (including a number of specific case studies)
The course is primarily addressed to BA and MA level students.
The course can be accessed at the following address:
