| Summary: | At the end of the 1980s, varieties of Norman were still spoken in three of the Channel Islands: Jersey, Guernsey and Sark, the Alderney language being extinct. These islands allow us to observe a rare situation: a dialect of French maintains, for some time to come, a bilingual relationship with English. This study is based on observations made between 1976 and 1985 and was written in 1986. It focuses on attitudes towards the common French language, and attempts to define its status and level of knowledge at that time. We will then discuss different aspects of dialect practice: its active knowledge, its use, its passive knowledge and the reasons given for the non-practice of young people. |
