Peer Review:

I Couldn't find a review from a classmate however I got your feed back Professor Cotter and I greatly appreciate it.

After reviewing your feedback on D2l and in-person for the Quebec English Article I am working on I wanted to elaborate more on the vocabulary of Quebec Anglophone English and Quebec Francophone English. I also want to make a slight adjustment to the Intro for Quebec English as in the intro their is no distinct difference from Quebec Anglophone English and Quebec Francophone English. The Anglophone section seemed short and I want to add to that a little bit more. Also near the End of the page their is an Other speakers section and it discusses the influence like Yiddish has had on the region but it does not do a lot of elaborating. So I going to see if their is more resources or ways to back up having a Yiddish influence and if it leans more towards a Quebec Anglophone English  or the Quebec Francophone English.

Week 14 :

Added to the Phonology section to the Quebec Article

and spoken by the minority Quebec Anglophone Speakers in the Montreal area:


 * The way that Anglo Montreal speakers pronounce the last letter of the alphabet "Z", Anglophone Montreal Speakers pronounce with an extended e vowel to sound like /Zee/. This differs from their Quebec Francophone Speakers who pronounce the last letter of the alphabet "Z" as /Zede/

Week 15

Added to the Section Quebec Anglophone ENglish :

one of the main reason that Quebec Anglophone English is still a minority language is that Quebec imposed a language law that stopped English from being the primary spoken language in school, home, and work to making French the main dominant language :

Added to the Quebec Vocabulary English :

A Pass - this phrase originates from Italian speakers, the phrase " Pass" is often used in phrase such as I am going to pass by a friend on the way to the movies. The phrase is comparatively used when already your already completing one action but can squeeze in another action on the way to your destination.

In standard English this phrase "Your Bus will pass in 2 minutes " would mean that your are about to miss your bus or that you have already missed your buss. Alternatively in Montreal the Phrase " Pass " can also mean to arrive or stop as a way to show that the action will happen in a relatively short time frame. Example : " Your bus will pass in 2 minutes"

WEEK 17 Final Article Added

Anglophone English was originally the dominant language of Quebec and the Montreal area. However by the 1970s the Quebec Government imposed new legislation to protect and enforce French as the main language of the people of Quebec. This legislation also change English from its official language status in Quebec to a minority status. This legislation stopped English from being the language taught at school or spoken at work and the main purpose of this legislation was to keep French an active language in Quebec. :

A Formation - this word in English would normally mean a routine stance used in a professional formation. (I.E. The men stood in formation ) in Quebec a Formation is reference to an education.

Another Phrase is the word "Corner peel" this phrase is used in conjuction with media outlets and advertising agency in the Montreal area. In English when giving directions to a store you would normally say this store is at the corner of 1st ave and 2nd ave. However in Montreal the phrase is changed to this store is located at the corner peel of 1st ave and 2nd ave.[16]
