Talk by Dr. Marie-Eve Bouchard
This presentation is part of Arts Multilingual Week.
Dr. Marie-Eve Bouchard will be presenting about her project involving the creation of sound map that offers a visual and auditive map of different varieties of French across Canada, which you can access here.
The primary goal of this project is to provide a learning tool (a website) that will allow French teachers, speakers, and learners to discover, experience, discuss, and hopefully appreciate language variation in Canada. The secondary goals of this project are 1) to raise awareness about linguistic and cultural diversity in Canada through the use of an education tool, 2) to recognize and value different varieties of French that are perceived as non-standard, 3) to foster respect through inclusive language education, and 4) to collect new data.
The talk will be held in French.
Location: Zoom + Irving K. Barber Learning Centre, Room 302 (Dodson Room)
