THE SOCIOLINGUISTICS OF MODERN FRENCH

Code: FREN333

Credits: 15

Semester: Semester 1

In this module, we will look at the social situation in France with regards to the use of language and consider how the different aspects of each of us as individuals can play a part in our production of French. We will explore language policy, from the reign of François I to Emmanuel Macron to see how French became the language of France and we’ll consider aspects of variation in language across France (both European and overseas territories).
