A Case for Acadian--The Politics of Style.

Wrenn, Phyllis

Visible Language, v27 n1-2 p228-51 Win-Spr 1993

Finds in the "Lettres" (1895-98) of Marichette (a Franco-Acadian woman) graphic evidence of the effects of language contact with the socially and economically dominant English on her Franco-Acadian dialect. Explores her penchant for code-switching and relates this aspect of the writer's style to her political commentary. (SR)
