America has generated a great deal of thought and writing in Quebec, but this commentary has never possessed the obsessiveness and anxieties that have characterized English Canadian writing on the United States. Yet both English- and French-speaking Canada share a vigorous and long-standing anti-American tradition. Indeed, from the eighteenth century to the present day, leading French Canadian writers and intellectuals have offered sweeping condemnations of American society. This apparent continuity masks a fundamental shift in the underpinnings of anti-American rhetoric in Quebec: primarily a left-wing idea today, anti-Americanism was essentially a right-wing doctrine until the postwar years. This paper explores the nature and origins of anti-Americanism in French Canada before 1945 and finds it tied to notions of anti-modernism on the part of French Canadian intellectuals.

Исследуются лингвопрагматические и лингвокультурные особенности текстов англоязычной, испаноязычной и франкоязычной блогосферы моды. Основой написания статьи явилась следующая гипотеза: в процессе глобализации происходит унификация письменных традиций в различных лингвокультурах с сохранением ключевых особенностей менталитета и национального характера. Цель исследования состоит в изучении влияния процесса глобализации на национальное своеобразие культур, их лингвистические особенности и традиции создания письменного текста, что находит отражение в текстах блогов, посвященных модной индустрии. В результате проведенного изучения обнаружено определенное сходство блогов о моде в трех лингвокультурах: англоязычной, франкоязычной и испаноязычной. Обоснованность выводов, к которым пришли авторы в ходе сравнительного анализа сходств и различий в употреблении лингвистических средств и средств художественной выразительности в блогах на упомянутых ранее языках, подтверждается обширным проанализированным материалом — 30 модных блогов на трех языках, входящих в десятку самых популярных. The article focuses on linguo-pragmatic and linguocultural features of the texts of the English-speaking, Spanish-speaking and French-speaking fashion blogosphere. Hypothetically, in the process of globalization, written traditions are unified in various linguistic cultures, but at the same time they retain the key features of mentality and national character. The purpose of the paper is to study the impact of globalization on the national identity of cultures, their linguistic characteristics and traditions of creating a written text, which is reflected in the rapidly developing blogosphere, exemplified by fashion blogs. The study found some similarities between fashion blogs across three linguistic cultures: English, French, and Spanish. The validity of the conclusions made by the authors in the course of a comparative analysis of the similarities and differences in the use of linguistic means and means of artistic expression in blogs in the previously mentioned languages is confirmed by extensive material for analysis — 30 fashion blogs in three languages, which are among the ten most popular.

Language Question

During a three-year period beginning in 1889, Canada struggled through a bitter identity crisis as militant English-Canadian nationalists rallied support for their vision of a homogeneous English-speaking country. In the eye of this storm was a NorthWest Legislative Assembly determined to abolish official bilingualism and assimilate its French-speaking minority. This article examines the origins of the North-West's ''dual language question'' and critically evaluates justifications given for the suppression of the French language. In their debates, the North-West legislators grappled with enduring issues of national unity, economic efficiency, majoritarian democracy and political legitimacy.

Americans have been studying “abroad” in Canada on a freelance basis for generations, and for many different reasons. Certain regions of Canada, for example, provide excellent, close-to-home opportunities to study French and/or to study in a French-speaking environment. Opportunities are available coast-to-coast for “foreign studies” in an English-speaking environment. Additionally, many students are interested in visiting cities or areas from which immediate family members or relatives emigrated to the United States.  Traditionally, many more Canadians have sought higher education degrees in the United States than the reverse. However, this is about to change. Tearing a creative page out of the American university admissions handbook, Canadian universities are aggressively recruiting in the United States with the up-front argument that a Canadian education is less expensive, and a more subtle argument that it is perhaps better.

Family Behaviour

The authors argue that the important changes in behaviour related to family and sexual life that were seen in Quebec during the second half of the 20th century are a consequence of a major transformation of the foundation of the normative system shared by the members of Quebec’s main socio-religious group, Frenchspeaking Catholics. Using data from Gallup polls, the authors compare the evolution of the opinions of French-speaking Quebec Catholics and Englishspeaking Ontario Protestants on matters related to sexual and family behaviour from the 1950s to the beginning of the 2000s. The general result is that the evolution of the differences between the two groups is compatible with the hypothesis.
