Results of a study of the differences between standard French and Acadian French as spoken by Nova Scotian children are presented. The study had as subjects 24 school children, two each from first, second, and third grades from each of four geographic regions. The language corpus consisted of elicited descriptions of pictures and spontaneous interviews. The lexical elements (words and phrases) in which differences between the regional usages and standard French were found are compiled in an alphabetical listing, with notes on regional variation. An index lists grammatical form classes and their salient morphological and syntactic variations. Pedagogical implications of the findings are discussed briefly. A bibliography is included. (MSE)
