Sailors and traders have extensive networks on land and at sea. It is therefore hardly surprising that the linguistic activities of these communities of practice also transcend maritime and trade-related contexts.
The lecture will shed light on this with regard to Western French maritime actors and their role in the development of North American French.
Dr. LauraLinzmeier will speak as part of the seminar "Langue et société au Québec" by PD Dr. Franz Meier.
