Title
A Study of the Survival of Certain Neologisms and 17th Century French Words and Expressions Among Pupils of French-Canadian Descent in the Woonsocket High School, Rhode Island, with a View to Determining Whether or Not This Survival Warrants Remedial Teaching
Description
Thesis that argues a recognition of the persistence of French language from 17th-century France and New France into 20th-century southern New England. As a research piece in the field of education, this study examined the 1930s state of colloquial French among Woonsocket, Rhode Island high school students in order to determine what measures, if any, should be taken in a course of language normalization, and to explore the possibilities and ramifications of a language educator's various approaches to local French vernacular.
