Title
Phonological Correspondences Between Modern French and the Lewiston-Auburn Dialect of French, and Between the English Spoken in Lewiston-Auburn and the Lewiston-Auburn Dialect of French
Description
Comparison of phonological traits in the English and the French languages spoken in the twin cities of Lewiston and Auburn, Maine. Observations of idiosyncratic French language characteristics in Lewiston. An introductory history of Franco Americans in Lewiston and Auburn, Maine - their European and Canadian backgrounds, and their Maine community establishments. Charts that measure specific linguistic properties of Lewiston-Auburn French speakers. From the introduction: "My goal, in writing this essay, was to make a phonetic transcription of the sounds which bilingual Franco-Americans of Lewiston-Auburn, Maine employ when they speak what they call 'French,' and then to show how these sounds correspond to the sounds of Modern French; and what happens to the sounds of English words when they are borrowed by these people when they are speaking the LA dialect. The analysis is strictly descriptive, and phonetic, and it was carried out only on the word level." (1)
