[Geo-linguistic mobility of the Francophone population of Quebec and Ontario].

"The relation between geographic and linguistic mobility among the population of French mother tongue in Ontario and Quebec [Canada] is explored. The results show that language behaviour, in particular the use of English as home language, is fairly regularly and coherently related to spatial behaviour. A distinct positive correlation between geographic and linguistic mobility is observed. It would seem, furthermore, that the ability of various linguistic environments to impose the dominant language is notably stronger when the dominant language is English." (SUMMARY IN ENG)

[Linguistic orientation of allophones in Montreal].

"The 1986 census shows that Montrealers whose mother tongue is neither English nor French assimilate to English rather than French at the same rate as [in 1971]. However, divergent trends underlie this overall stability. While the Montreal-born prefer English even more massively than in 1971, French has progressed just as markedly among immigrants, though there is a visible return to English among the latest arrivals."

[Demographic change and French Quebec].

"The socio-political climate and the dissemination of demographic results interact very closely over language matters in Quebec. An examination of the decline of the French-speaking population in North America casts some doubt on the thesis of the linguistic polarization of Canada. An overview of the factors which determine the future size and linguistic composition of Quebec's population shows that French Quebec has arrived at an extremely critical turning point. The most recent results on interprovincial migration and language shift will likely encourage a firm and careful language policy, in order to avoid the prospect of losing ground to English."

Intermarriage and language shift in Canada, 1971 and 1976.

"Basic observations are made on the linguistic outcome of mixed marriages between English, French, and Other language groups, using Canadian census data. Current trends among the major French language groups are highlighted. A longitudinal interpretation of cross-sectional age group data on intermarriage and language shift is presented, and leads to the inference, from 1971 data, of a steady increase in exogamy and anglicisation rates among most French language groups. This inference is confirmed through comparison with 1976 data. Further increase is predicted during the late seventies. It is suggested that similar techniques of analysis could be applied with profit to the study of other Canadian language groups." (summary in FRE)
