Linguistic and Cultural Heritage of the Acadians in Maine and New Brunswick

Gauvin, Marie Anne

Historical observations of language usage in the St. John River Valley in Maine and New Brunswick, focusing on the social, cultural, and linguistic traits maintained by the area's Acadian population. From the author: "This thesis proposes to show how and why the Acadians, particularly those of the Upper St. John River Valley, speak French with distinctive variations. To do so it will be necessary to present first a geographical outlay of locations involved in the development of the French language as well as the locations involved in the historical events of the Acadian chronicles."
