    <dcterms:title><![CDATA[Gems of Our Franco Dialect]]></dcterms:title>
    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[Some of the author&#039;s reflections on his narrative choices - his characters&#039; accents, dialects, and dictions - in his first French language novel, &quot;Le Petit Mangeur de Fleurs.&quot; Some thoughts on the relationships and distinctions between continental French, French Canadianisms, and Franco American dialect, and the inspiring phenomena of words with strange translations, or words without traceable origins. Concludes with a list of &quot;some of the gems of the Franco dialect&quot; : terms, Canadianisms, which carry specific cultural weight, and their translations. The author&#039;s hope of encouraging discussion about other such gems, though especially those not yet found in dictionaries.]]></dcterms:description>
