Politiques linguistiques et mobilisations ethnolinguistiques au Canada et en Grande-Bretagne depuis les années 1990 | ||
in Cultures & Conflits , n. 79-80, automne-hiver , 2010 , 37-54 | ||
The article compares ethnolinguistic mobilisations in Canada and in Great Britain since 1990. It studies interaction between the pluralist and pragmatic institutional heritage common to both regions and the way Francophone minorities living outside of Quebec and Welsh speaking minorities inform their actions in order to influence the institutionalisation of language policies. The article shows that governmental intervention in Wales is more sustained than in Canada but that the capacity of Welsh group to influence the formulation of language policies is more limited. In contrast, such influence is more important in Canada. However, governmental action remains symbolic. | ||
