Language Planning and Language Use : Canada's National Capital Area

Language Planning and Language Use : Canada's National Capital Area

Discussion on Canadian government service "language planning" in light of its official bilingual status. Particular attention is paid to the percentage of federal employee positions that, before unilingual, are now slated and anticipated to be held by bilingual people. Other attention is paid specifically to where efforts at bilingual accomodation are made to preserve Canadian confederation from, for example, the growing percentage of francophone Quebecers reliant solely upon unilingual provincial services, or anglophone Canadians resistant to minority language. Some distinction is made between what the author terms the "personality" and the "territorial" principles of bilingualism.
