The Features of Quebec French: Colloquial Speech and Literature
The first part of the article treats and summarizes large information on the evolution of spoken speech studies. The last chapter is devoted to a short review of research based on the texts of two Quebec writers - Duchess de Langeais and The Sisters-in-Law (La Duchesse de Langeais, Les Belles Soeurs) by Michel Tremblay and Maria Chapdelaine by Louis Hémon. It is the characters' speech that is subject to examination in which we see the remarkable link between language and a person's personality and the culture of a nation.
