Abstract
The Commissioner of Official languages warned in 1985 that “official bilingualism in Canada is poised between an honest linguistic partnership and the.. .danger of linguistic territorialization on the Belgian model.” This study examines the evidence of language accommodation between the anglophone and francophone populations within the cultural transition zone situated between English and French Canada and assesses which trend seems to be prevalent.Keywords
