Title

Exploring the Dialect of the Franco-Americans of Manchester, New Hampshire

Description

From the authors: "This research focuses on... the French language's influence on Franco-American English in Manchester, a city in southern New Hampshire....The questions we explore include the following: Does the Franco-American community of Manchester have its own French-influenced dialect on English? What sociolinguistic factors influence this dialect? Do speakers with stronger cultural ties to the Franco-American community produce a more French-sounding English? Can immersion in Franco-American culture have an influence on speakers who are monolingual (in English)?"
