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 H<i>é</i>mon. 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.
