About This Book

A comprehensive lexicon of the popular French spoken in Canadian and Acadian families, assembling roughly fifteen thousand words and expressions drawn from Canadianisms, Acadianisms, anglicisms and Americanisms. Entries are presented with abundant examples that clarify meanings, idiomatic usages, and regional variants, and the work is organized for reference. A prefatory discussion explains the compiler's method and highlights tendencies of the popular register, especially the use of vivid, concrete sensory imagery to express abstract ideas. The volume serves as both a practical glossary and a descriptive snapshot of everyday regional spoken French.
