Montreal English is a 'linguistic laboratory',[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
The blend of French and English in Quebec's largest city is a unique marriage between the two languages that hasn't been seen in almost a millennium, according to a local professor. Charles Boberg,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], who teaches linguistics at McGill University,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], has just finished a study on English spoken in various parts of Canada.
Many of the regional differences are unsurprising to those who travel from sea to sea. On the Prairies,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for instance, "chesterfield" is more common than "couch" or "sofa." In the East,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], "see-saw" rides above "teeter-totter."
But it's in Montreal - where many people use the French "liquor douce" instead of "soft drink" - that some Canadian language scholars are really bubbling with enthusiasm over the nature of English,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
"It's so special because it's the only major city in North America where English is a minority language,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," says Boberg.
A Montrealer,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], for instance,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], might say she's looking for "a three-and-a-half close to a depanneur" instead of a "one bedroom apartment near a corner store." Or another might talk about going to a "guichet" for money,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], instead of an "ABM" (automated banking machine).
"You had the same sort of intimate contact between English and French in 11th century England as you do today in Montreal,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," according to Boberg.
"And that was responsible in the 11th century for the conversion of English from a basically pure Germanic language to a kind of a hybrid language."
In additional to his survey of various regional vocabularies and pronunciation across Canada,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Boberg is working on a long-term study of English in Montreal.
"The importance of language as a cultural signal or as a cultural symbol has increased because language is one of the last things that actually does divide us regionally,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]," he says.
Perceived frontrunner Justin Trudeau made a passionate plea for the party's top job during an event the Liberal Party called a "national showcase" in Toronto on Saturday,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
